"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe - Lemmy.World
I saw some posts about american wanting to move to Europe; so just before you
guys make the move, double-triple check insurances/banks, because literally
every time I (not american) do smth financially related in France, they ask me
if I am american? If yes, they won’t even open accounts/ give me insurance etc…
Sounds discriminatory but apperently because legal I dont know if that expands
to any other field
Financial institutions in Japan ask the same thing. It is because Americans have to pay tax to American even when they don’t live in America. It just means there is more paperwork apparently.
Yup, I had no idea how fucked you guys were with the taxes thing until I learned you had to declare it twice if living abroad
Luckily I’m not one of those guys haha
It’s not that funny tbh, they’re people being treated poorly by their government
And yet they keep voting for anyone that likes to treat people poorly. I don’t know what to think anymore.
That’s a really hasty (hazy?) generalization of the US. The 50501 riots should tell you that a large fraction of Americans are not for this, but their heavily gerrymandered voting system shackles them to it
