1) +87% of the Swedish population live in urban area. (https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subje... )
2) Switzerland which is higher density has almost the same excess death rate (on your image)
3) France which had very strict and long lockdown (and killed/subsidized heavily its economy) has also almost the same figures.
As many have said, one of the major factor was how the elderly in home facilities had been protected and the state of the medical infrastructure (rate of intense care beds per capita to handle the peaks for exemple).
In the 70s and 80s, the Swedish medical infrastructure was one of the top. They still live on that legend. Please talk to Swedish friends around you and ask them how it is now (Part of my family is Swedish).
You can use proxies if you are a small company. But at onlyFans' level, the solutions are limited.
PS: By experience, I can also confirm that most of the CC acquirers evaluate your business not on its legality but on its morality.
PS2: With mandatory 3DS2, the excuse of high fraud/complains rates (which were true 10 years ago) does not make sense anymore.
As a European, I only understood late in my life how crucial was AC to boost the economical development of some countries like Singapore (among other things of course).
Where would many European countries be without heating?
We judge yesterday comments with todays' eyes. But todays compliant messages will be judged by tomorrows eyes.
Values and the fine line between morally good and bad are not static in time.
What should be encourage: a better distribution of the profits in the value production chain. At amazon, Wallmart, all the employees should be obscenely well paid (relatively to their job), the enormous profits should not be concentrated at the top.
They should donate to a foundation. They should not have link with it (direct or indirect). Their family (direct or indirect) should not have link with it (direct or indirect).
The problem with these structures is that they allow someone to control and directly benefit from assets without fiscally owning them. Usually these foundations have complex structures and use generous fiscal code of some countries.
For many, the main goal is to lower the fiscal pressure during transmission to the children.
But it is not new, even in the Bible they spoke about it (Matthew 6:2): "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men."
Issues are borderline capital gain strategies to avoid revenue gain.
With art, buy and sell prices have no comparison points and margins are very high.
Central banks are all working on CBDC (Central bank digital currency). The day they will be ready, I can suppose they will eliminate the threats.
This was due to the Secret files Scandal in 1989 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_files_scandal ).
Regulators are now working on aligning the aging laws with the European GDPR to better protect individuals against private companies.
For Swiss people old like me, we still remember the exact same misleading articles when Switzerland said NO to Europe in 1992.
Switzerland had to adapt and is going fine today (minus covid). Hopefully UK will do the same.
Some pay-as-you-go (vs funded) pension systems are considered as Ponzi scheme by their characteristics. The population/age pyramid in western countries is an issue. Which is why the subject is hot.
Even worse. It has been taken over by MLM moguls/scammers who migrated from classic MLM products/scams.
They now often pollute Real Estate, Stock Exchange, etc. forums trying to convert others (which is a red flag).
Which is sad because, like TOR, it was created as the right answer to a real problem but is being perverted/spoiled.
Sad...
