They MUST have free child care. And MUST send their kids to public schools. Only then will the systems be improved for everyone

Had a quick look and it seems to be easy if I take the fridge online, that would be a deal breaker so will need to do some digging about just keeping it connected locally

And I've never seen fortune's work so well summarized. Conservative Debtslop should be on their cover, right next to their usual lead story of iPhone 20 Lets You Talk to Ghosts, Insider Confirms

Are you working for fortune's marketing department?

The fridge has wifi and an app for all those times when you're on the road and feel the urge to change your fridge/freezer settings. I haven't used it yet and am hesitant to let it go online. But I'm hoping I can still connect the fridge to my wifi locally and control it that way. From there I hope If (sunny) (set freezer to -24C) ELSE (set freezer to -18C) will work.

Easier said than done, but it's the only way to find peace.

Also signing people up for spam mail can give some temporary satisfaction.

Hey! I do this by setting my freezer temp to the lowest possible when my panels produce excess electricity. Then back to normal for the night, the 6C difference is enough to not use additional power until the sun comes up again.

One day I will automate this.... one day

The US have an extraordinary ability to ruin anything. Things are either capitalised or policed

Voting is a good reason to keep the citizenship.

In regards of taxes, if your place of residence collects more than the US would, nothing is actually owed. In the EU most (if not all) countries have much higher tax rates than the US, so the only "crime" would be the failure to file. Not sure if this is why the folks I know are getting away with this.

But generally yes, my friends are not planing to go back and much prefer paying higher taxes in return for accessible healthcare and public transport.

Londoners have a right to defend themselves

In my circle of friends none of the US Americans living abroad file their tax returns and haven't done so for many years.. especially if you're not planing to move back to the US, I really don't see the need to continue compliance with the IRS or renounce a citizenship. Keep that passport and keep voting. Throw dog shit over the embassy fence.
