"&gt;&gt; Because if you are against Trump, you must(!) be for Hillary or the DNC or both. &gt; Nope and I think this attitude is the core problem with American politics.  I agree with you that, mostly due to fake-news and terrible ""journalism"", tribalism is the new way for American politics and people: either you against Trump, or not.  So, are you against Trump? Yes or no?  It seems you are against Trump, on every front, and that would be Ok if you could show examples of actions by Trump that are not good, or, actions you don't agree with.  &gt;&gt; Medicare Part-D   So, even according to you, Trump wants to reduce drug prices but now, according to VOX (known fake-news anti-Trump ""news"" site) ""he oppose free-market principles"" to reduce drug prices. Well, the amendment by Collins and McCaskill was passed last month and is sitting Trump's desk to be signed soon.  Honestly, I am not clear exactly how it works, but it's McCaskill is a democrat. So, I have no clue what VOX is talking about, and it seems that after many years of no action (Obama and Bush), Trump may do something about this."
This American Life #355 did an interesting take on the housing crisis. Overall a very good podcast, I believe they had another episode covering similar items as well.  This has the added benefit of not just covering what happened, but getting into the real people behind the actions of the system.
"No, because I assert that it's not *only* about these lucky events. It still takes some degree of intelligence, or insight, and hard work. Often a sociopathic ability to step on others is either necessary or at least a bit help, and sometimes it takes the ability to ignore various laws while staying out of trouble.   What I'm saying is that it seems like a number of folks here want to believe the *only* differentiator is one of these ""lightning in a bottle"" events. I'm saying I think they're more common than we may think - it's only when the bottle is held by someone with the ability and drive to maximize the opportunity that we get a success story."
All VaR is is simply a confidence interval on losses.  The problem with VaR models is they usually don't fare well against events that break the normal operating criteria...  So the model validation process usually throws out the outliers when in reality it's what happens in the extremes that makes or breaks your company.
"On 3# - My company is constantly complaining about saving money, cutting costs.  Then we have these events, and banners, and trinkets and bullshit about our new ""mission statement"" - everyone here just sees them pissing away money (millions) while bitching about money.  That's a fucking drag on company morale.  Then again, #8 - my job is being phased out, so it's not like I really like this place anyway."
&gt; Eating right, exercise, moderate drinking, getting vaccines, and not smoking are all choices that make a huge impact.  Of course but my point is that poor people are forced into a life that either doesn't communicate the importance of these things or makes them harder to follow.
If the US economy crashes at all suddenly, the global economy goes with it. In that case, yes, the postapocalyptic scenarios may be the best answer. But that's got so low a probability of happening that you'd be a fool to invest in it. If you really feel the need, consider investing in the companies which supply those activities. The big winners in the California gold rush were the general stores that sold supplies to the speculators.
The Kraemer and Kraemer Panama has a wide range of sorts of immigration in panama visas and residency programs offering perpetual residency, and by and large, full citizenship with an identification. Panama is universally perceived as the Top Offshore nation. It draws in individuals from everywhere throughout the world who are intrigued immigration in panama for Permanent Residency. They come to appreciate the remarkable advantages that exclusive Panama brings to the table. Some talented experts and specialists desire a vocation while others are setting up universal new companies.
It also increases productivity.   This is also what happened to the US manufacturing base. With the improvements in technology, they were able to automate things to increase productivity, increase quality of goods and focus on high tech/complicated goods that require a skilled labor force.   So even though the US manufacturing base over the last 30 years has lost jobs, the US is still a powerhouse when it comes to manufacturing.
For a $600K withdrawal, the bank can cite security issues and decline to honor the request in cash. If you ask, your bank should provide their standard policy, which could include language such as this: We require prior notice for large cash withdrawals. We can refuse an order to withdraw funds in cash or to cash an item if we believe that the request is a security risk or possesses a hardship on the Bank. We may require you to accept an Official Check or electronic transfer to receive the funds. If we agree to a large cash withdrawal, you may be required to employ a courier service acceptable to us and at your risk and expense. If a large cash withdrawal is completed at a branch you will be required to sign a cash withdrawal agreement. Refusal to sign the agreement is grounds for us to revoke the cash withdrawal and require an alternate delivery for the funds. You might also find this question interesting.
Deposit it into your Brazilian bank account. They'll charge you collection fee (shouldn't be high, its a cashier's check equivalent), and the currency exchange rate may not be the best ever, but that's the price to pay for the service. Another option would be to cash the check at check cashing places, but that would most likely require you being in the US (I don't know if any check-cashing store in Brazil would cash a US check).
California is very aggressive when it comes to determining residency. While you have a legitimate defense, I suggest talking with a California-licensed CPA or EA practicing in California, which are experienced in dealing with the FTB residency audits.
&gt; A real choice to opt out would not require you to move.  Okay, let's imagine a system that gives you this freedom. Let's say people in the US can chose one of five governments to represent them.  How do you see the military being funded in this scenario?
In case you assume that you are a region for possible power aggravations, at that point you much better be set up for things to happen. You can't stop the power interruption to happen in your place in any case you can find an organization so that even with a power unsettling influence experience, you can regardless continue with what you are doing. All you require is a Commercial Generator that will outfit you with the required power in perspective of the power that it has kept. The generator usually works by changing power into electrical imperativeness that is the reason you have the opportunity to continue with home activities as the power interruption goes on.
With something this complicated you are going to want to consult professionals. Either a professional with international experience, who will tell you the best tax arrangement overall but might come expensive, or one professional in each country who will optimize for that country. You will have to pay US taxes, and depending on your residency probably some in Spain. Double tax agreements should kick in to prevent you paying tax on the same money twice. You do not have to pay separate 'European' taxes. If you do substantial business in another country you might have to pay there, but one of your professionals should sort it out.
"I still don't understand this ""analysis.""  Even when the US became the world's largest economy in 1880, the British Pound remained the reserve currency of choice until the 1950s, some seventy years later!  Investors prefer stability and property rights and the US has both, especially when considering the alternatives, i.e. Euro tax takings on bank deposits in Cyprus.    What about the yuan? China may have recently surpassed US economic power, but it is very likely in the midst of a massive credit bubble. China has also been fudging some of their numbers and in many cases, chooses not to keep economic records at all. The fact that many Chinese elites themselves are buying property in Vancouver and the US as a safe harbor also does not bode well for their systemic problems IMO. I'm sticking with the dollar for now."
There may be a net gain in jobs with things like techs, developers, things of that nature, but those are all skilled jobs or at least require a degree of training beyond entry-level, and time will really tell if that is the case one way or the other. The most vulnerable among us are going to be disproportionately impacted by automation, and they will end up the losers at least in the near-term for sure.
Actually it seems you are not quite correct about the number of different banks in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banks_and_credit_unions_in_Canada According to this link there are 82-86 banks in Canada plus credit unions. This may still be lower than what would correspond to the number of banks in the US, scaled for canadian population. One further reason not mentioned before could be that the population density in Canada outside of the metropolitan areas could be lower than in the US, leaving to few small towns large enough (10,000+ (a guess corrected due to comment)) to support a bank.
You see, your CEO must already be building a team. With the collective effort to suceed the company's vision.  The right place for those of which you are talking about should be somewhere around new teams working on a small-medium project of which each member is from a different company. Those team building activities require air to be somewhat confused enough to make those cringy happenings forgotable in such proffesional environment. If people see threat in participating they'll notice somebody messing up and that's where you get gossips. Not the easy ones, if there even are any of those.
Perhaps I can: my city is full of towers of Chinese investor owned condos that were purchased to gain EB5 visas.  These visas require a $500k investment in the US, in an economically depressed area.  The census tracts were gerrymandered together to make a nice part of town qualify.  They were sold with 30 year property tax abatements, and at the end of that period they will likely have to pay something like 50k/yr in taxes, which is likely about what they will be renting for.  These condos do not exist to be lived in, but have manufactured a huge bubble in property value because of the visa program.  Jared Kushner is a primary investor in this vehicle.  These will crash if there are changes to this program or any change that forces more units on the market.  Otherwise they'll crash in 25-30 years when nobody wants a timebomb with massive expenses incoming.    The other bubble is of course the huge real estate bubble China is creating within its own borders, which rivals the real estate bubble within US borders, both of which are driven by unsustainable low interest rates.
Because a couple of relatively small scandals in terms of one of the largest banks in the US isn't enough to sink one of the largest banks in the US. To flip the question, why do you think a scandal on the scale of millions of dollars would have a lasting impact on the operations of a bank that brings in billions of profit every year?
we are working aggressively to bring in the housing bubble in for a soft landing   meanwhile, the US bubble was never managed in the first place, has already burst and caused a recession that's the worst since the great depression.   you were saying? yes, at this point in time, the chinese bubble looks worse because the US bubble already killed us and we don't have one anymore.
Most of the credit unions and small banks in USA do not have the connectivity to swift network and thus does not have a Swift Code, IBAN or other international routing codes. They can still receive international wire transfers. Sender's international financial institution should have a correspondent bank in the US (which acts as an intermediary bank) to which they can wire the money The intermediary bank will send the money domestically (within USA) using aba routing numbers of the small bank or credit union.
&gt; At some point we are going to have abused our global reserve status to the point the world doesn't want to extend it to us anymore.  This will happen *as soon as there is someplace better to go*.    This, in turn, will require:   * Someone running sound economics * Those sound economics not being dependant on US/dollar hegemony * The US not blowing them up  These are not impossible criteria, and absolutely will **eventually** be met, but I don't think it's unreasonable to argue that that point is a long way away at this point.   We have a lot of time, and much of it will be tumultuous &amp; uncertain in many ways- but the dollar &amp; US treasuries will still be the thinnest kid at fat camp until it ends.
If you believe that you are a location for possible power disruptions, then you much better be gotten ready for things to take place. You cannot stop the power interruption to take place in your place however you can find a service so that even with a power disruption experience, you can still continue with what you are doing. All you require is a commercial backup generator that will provide you with the needed electricity based upon the power that it has kept. The generator usually works by transforming power into electrical energy that is why you have the opportunity to continue home activities as the power interruption goes on.
This was at least in part payback for VW. But to be fair, the US has imposed huge fines on European banks for doing unethical stuff that's a lot more tolerated in Europe than the US. The EU fined Google for doing anti-competitive stuff that's a lot more tolerated in the US.
Living in a sea facing apartment in Istanbul offers a world of opportunities to those who are fond of recreational activities such as surfing, swimming, sailing, playing beach volleyball or sunbathing and taking extended strolls along the sea line. Turkey offers the pleasures of surfing, swimming, sunbathing and more. Enjoy these activities and get immeasurable health benefits. For example, walking by the beach or playing volleyball in open courts at top projects in Istanbul is surely value for those investing in a seaside property here.
This article highlights Romney's true position on outsourcing of jobs. He cares about the bottomline. He was like any other businessman, after profit. So, he understands and sympathizes with companies that outsource their business activities. He's a politician now, and the people are the number one priority, not corporations. I doubt he will institute hardline policies on keeping companies in the US, especially if it will lead to decreased profit. It goes against his political beliefs.
If you're a few decades older, your generation is mostly to blame for this reversal of fortunes in the US.  1969 was the peak of American culture.  Not since 1969 have more cars been sold in the US despite a doubling in the population.  The average age of a US vehicle used to be between 3-5 years now it is between 8 - 12 years old.  A poorer population cannot afford a new car as often anymore.  How do you expect consumes to shop at Sears and give them high profits if they don't have jobs themselves.
A lot of us state I want money on the internet however how would you obtain money on the internet? Difficult which rare money on the internet if you want money on the internet. This site does not have any credit check needed money money together with sequel money as well as fantastic deals. Should find out if experts require regarding some money on the internet.
&gt; unlimited data plans on your phone  This may work in some countries; in the US, oligopolic wireless carriers are doing their level best to ensure it doesn't become the norm, because they collectively see it as a threat to their business models.    They may still lose; tho I consider it unlikely, as the best scenario for that would require increasing the number of players in the wireless market.   Some sort of open-access rule for infrastructure built by companies granted spectrum licenses would be a good start, but seems unlikely given how much more sway corporations have over the state than consumers.
You can open a NRE account or a NRO account online before you leave the US and transfer the bulk of your money into it.  After returning to India, your tax status will be RNOR (Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident) and you can keep the NRE and NRO accounts for several years (three?) and can do whatever you like with the money in them: transfer the money to ordinary (resident) savings accounts, or reconvert back to US dollars for payment of any outstanding bills (e.g. credit card bills) or US taxes for 2017 etc.  Don't forget to close your US bank account before you leave. Many banks allow opening of NRE and NRO accounts on-line, though some paperwork needs to be sent in (e.g. copies of passport pages, signature cards etc). In most cases, one month is more than enough time to complete these formalities.
Different focus and drive.  Are you familiar with process improvement methods like Six Sigma?  Yes they've become synonymous with corporate buzzword bullshit in the US but that's not the way it always was.  During WWII the US government socialized many factories to support the war effort.  They took statistics nerds and gave them factories to run.  After the war the nerds were offered jobs in the census.  Some of them went to other countries to help rebuild instead.  There are statues to some of them because they helped Japan become a leading economy in relatively short order.  China doesn't have that focus.  They succeed out of sheer numbers.  Not by refining process.  That would require investing in their workforce too much and cheep disposable labor is the way they compete.
I find it somewhat doubtful that the US economy will grow by less than 16 billion in the next 33 years. 33 years ago the US had a GDP of just 4 Trillion. Yes i know that growth has slowed down considerably but I just don't see how the US economy will fail to double in such a long period of time.   Hell from 2015 to 2016 the US economy grew 530 billion dollars to 18.57 Trillion dollars. Assuming Growth stopped and we simply increased our GDP by that much every year we'd increase by that much in 33 years. But that's unlikely to happen over the long period and since growth is compounding I see us easily staying ahead of India. China only gets past us on PPP seeing as their nominal economy was practically flat last year due to a slump in the renimbi.
Firstly decide how long you may be in the country. You will nearly surely have nowhere near sufficient time to suit everything in your listing inside the time body you've got in your excursion. So determine what is most important to you. Cuba isn't a reasonably-priced destination! Take an affordable sum of money. Credit playing cards are restrained in use to huge lodges. Be certain you take a look at your card might be time-honored of the Accommodations in Cuba. They no longer take much credit playing cards. The price of every transaction is also very high-priced, so playing cards are first-rate used simplest in big quantities. Cuba can be an exceedingly small country. However, their form of geographic areas gives you many picks in activities.
Canadian here: the US is our biggest customer, so we were impacted economically. I expected that within a year or two of the US housing collapse, we would also be hit, but something else happened: when the US dropped interest rates like a stone, we were also forced to drop interest rates. This meant that suddenly, money was being handed out for very very cheap, so cheap it was almost free if you had a decent job and good credit. The housing market here paused for a brief moment, and then continued climbing. It never stopped until some new rules were implemented, aimed mostly at foreign buyers and investors, and put in place this year. It appears however that this current drop in prices may be a temporary dip. The average cost of a home in Toronto is still around $1m CAD, and our real estate is still among the most expensive in the world if you look at how much we pay compared to our incomes.  In some places, houses have basically tripled over the past decade.  My point here is that Canadian home owners were not impacted negatively by the 2008 crisis. In fact, once the free money started flowing and prices went up accordingly, Canadian home owners were enriched as a direct result of the 2008 US housing crisis. The situation is clearly unsustainable, and the market is irrational. It's easy to say that we are in a bubble but it is  impossible to tell when it will crash. In Canada, it's harder to walk away from mortgage debt; if you're underwater on your home, and the bank forecloses on you and sells the house for less than you owe, you still owe the bank the remainder of the money (in most provinces).
You're aware there's no such thing as a cheap house in Jersey right? Rental values are listed in price per DAY to make them look less scary.   Also, no, you couldn't. You pay tax in the country you are resident in and the States don't equate property ownership to residency; neither does HMRC.   Interesting side note, in Jersey's neighbour Guernsey you can own a house but not legally be allowed to live in it due to the dual property market.
As the funds are Gift received from your parents, and your tax residency is US, as per US gift tax, there is no tax due from you for these funds.
If it has anything to do with the US, the US has to be the worst.      It's like an experience my friend had in the mid-nineties where some emo douche who overheard our conversation about his coming to the US berated him for claiming that life in the Ukrainian SSR was much worse than life in the US and that he was either stupid or blind for not recognizing that reality.      Said emo douche got a punch in the face from my friend.
The big issue I can see is foreign exchange risk - if you've got the money in the US and you need it in Australia, you're vulnerable to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the two currencies. I would think that if you're expecting to go back to the US, you might want to leave some money in the US (to guard against the AU$ falling against the US$); if you're not planning to go back you're probably better off moving the money with you unless you expect the USD to appreciate considerably against the AUD anytime soon. The picture changes slightly if you still have expenses in the US, like paying for a mortgage, or repairs to a property there or something similar, as you're probably better off leaving part of the money in the US to get rid of both the exchange rate losses and currency risk.
Depending on the country, nothing.  For example, the US has about $1.3 trillion dollars of cash in circulation.  Which means that if you were to burn a million dollars of it, that would be 0.000077% of  the circulating cash.  But cash is a small portion of the actual money in the US.  Only about 8% of all money is in cash, the rest is in other forms of value, which means that you'd only be destroying 0.0000062% of the US's money if you burned a full $1,000,000.
Lots of opportunities during threats to US debt demand. Most just involve being short the S&P or long the VIX (or short treasury bond futures, or short a US dollar currency pair). Those are the opportunities. And if you are worried about the utility of speculating in US dollars on a decline of the US dollar, then it is easy enough to hop out of the FEDwire network into a cryptocurrency network these days - either as a value transfer protocol to another currency in lieu of capital controls, or a speculative investment, or both. Enjoy!
