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

EDIT: lol i am now wondering what are people are downvoting for? You dont like that fact, so you downvote whoever told you that fact? Some reactions are hilarious

    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

        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
