My tax status with the government is as an “auteur/artiste”—an author/artist. With this declaration, I have one very practical thing: health insurance.
Registering with l'Urssaf as an "artiste-auteur" (or micro-entrepreneur), which aligns one with a specific régime for the payment of social charges, automate registration with CPAM, the administrative arm of the French universal healthcare system.
Also, by then you hopefully have paid off your mortgage such that you only have to pay property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (and you don’t have to have that after you pay off the mortgage in most places).
Even with Medicare, health insurance and healthcare costs do not disappear in retirement.
This is actually more generous than what many Europeans are taking home as part of their old-age pension benefits.
Most European earn less, during their working lifetimes and in retirement, but are not burdened by healthcare costs and the high cost of living in the US--which is the third highest worldwide, following Israel and Iceland.

The minimum wage has not risen in a decade or more.

There is always one more form. Always. Once, I submitted every required document only to be asked for a notarized copy of the same document, signed in blue ink by someone who died in 1993. You return the next day and the form has changed. No one knows why. The person behind the desk shrugs in perfect, national harmony. Bureaucracy in France isn’t red tape. It’s red velvet. Thick. Lush. Endless.

William A. Finnegan doesn't exist. It is a pseudonym used by an individual who claims diverse expertise and experience without offering any credible evidence of it.

Nice to find this reference!
This is staying anonymous for now, because that may be wiser as the United States becomes more authoritarian.
As long as your account is registered with an email address, and as long as you create revenue through Substack and its contracted sub-processors (such as Stripe), you are not anonymous from parties with authority to audit such systems. In other words, adopting an anonymous identity on Substack only serves to hide your identity, and therefore your claim to authority, from users of the site.

"Stochastic Anarchy": New Sovereign Architect's Guide to the Future
How much bullshit can be packed into a short sentence? What is "Stochastic anarchy" and what the hell is a "sovereign architect"? It's an adman luring you in with pretentious language.
One can find out the real meaning of these things by becoming a paid subscriber, since the real meaning is the separation of you and your money.
Why You Should Subscribe
The answer to "Why you should subscribe" is to hand over your money to a person hiding behind an avatar that itself has a bag over its head. Want to know more? Cut and paste the "About" page into ChatGPT and ask (1) if the biography credible, and (2) can all the assertions of activity in the public sector be verified by official or press records.
A fool and their money are soon separated.

FACTA
That is, FATCA
Once you travel, you become a Global Citizen, and you will never see the world the same way again.
One can conversely argue that you only remain a citizen of the country or countries you are ACTUALLY a citizen of, and that travel in many cases divests you of the rights extended to actual citizens, or make your participation in those rights more difficult.
a Global Citizen
There is literally no such thing as a "global citizen"
Today I’d like to discuss these major dangers and get your input about which you believe is the most dangerous and requires most constraint.

Key information about the life of Alix Sophie Deguise
People move abroad and then back again pretty regularly. If I wasn’t so damn lazy, I’d go back and check stats, but something like 50% of US immigrants move away from Portugal (either back to the US or to other countries) within five years.

But what is the trend in the US, in terms of reading level?
The news is mostly an aggregation of every bad event that happened in the last twenty four hours, anywhere on Earth.
This is a British perspective; the same is not true for residents of the U.S., for whom the world beyond its borders is rarely mentioned in the news, apart from the various wars that the US supports

Dundalk market day, Co. Louth
The Dundalk Market Square web site offers the following history of the Dundalk market:
In the 17th century, Lord Limerick (later James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Clanbrassil) created the modern town we know today. He was responsible for the construction of streets leading to the town centre; his ideas came from many visits to Europe. In addition to the demolition of the old walls and castles, he had new roads laid out eastwards of the principal streets. The most important of these new roads connected a newly laid down Market Square, which still survives, with a linen and cambric factory at its eastern end, adjacent to what was once an army cavalry and artillery barracks (now Aiken Military Barracks).
In the 19th century, the town grew in importance and many industries were set up in the local area. This development was helped considerably by the opening of railways, the expansion of the docks area or 'Quay' and the setting up of a board of commissioners to run the town.
The present photograph was captured by the Coimisiún Béaloideasa Éireann (CBÉ) / Irish Folklore Commission (1935).
