Some post offices in the US also function as a so called notary public. Basically, they can verify your identity and attest that it's you who sent/did something. This is used quite often for important things that don't have o

And who pays for those miles of fiber? That one customer, because he chose to live there? I assume you understand that it that's the case, Starlink is a much better option as it won't cost them 5 figures upfront

For European governments that have their email and such running with Microsoft, it's quite the signal when individuals lose their email because the US doesn't like them. See international criminal court.

Just to be a pedant, 18.5 % in the US and same in Canada so 37%. I wouldn't call that almost half, it used to be about half before the move (NY at 31.3, 19.7 in Canada).

For Europe the choices are, foreign actor A or foreign actor B. I don't think the current US administration has shown themselves to be less hostile than China...

Well so far I believe they've been buying us government bonds for example? Also, haven't they been buying all kinds of stuff in Africa etcetera? Money doesn't have to flow from A to B and back to A. It might very well pass ma

I find it very interesting that on a site like this, someone advocates for payments with just a username/password. This might work for you, but it's not a solution for less tech savvy/elderly people. These services are the ea

But no company cares about an occasional failed payment? That's part of doing business? So they send a polite email informing you of it and you pay it a few days late? No reasonable entity would charge late fees as that's a great

That is not what's happening here. They're not making decisions. No one is being denied as a result of this. Also, there are many cases in which a visa can expire and you're still allowed to be in the US and even work. As lon
