Problem solved.
If it's useful while it lasts, why not.
Always have Plan B, C, D, etc...
Internet is polluted with horror stories from clueless users: "omg (youtube|facebook|linkdin|(tele|insta)gram) banned me and my business! Help!"
Possibly readying to hike a price for the next level where what you used to get will cost way more.
Many others can pretty much pack and go
Even if ya'll will be given all your money back - you'd still manage to lose it again in a short time and blame someone else. SBF has nothing to do with it.
Your mindset and you do.
We eventually sold the house, otherwise frustration would continue
It's much easier to prepare the remote landing strip before storm hits the fan and everyone will try to run the same direction.
I strongly suggest everyone to have some viable options in advance.
Plan to get rid of my GC later this year.
No more of filing BS papers and buying US taxes soon.
From Nevada to Switzerland. We just bought our first property over there on a mountain side. One of the best areas in a south Switzerland.
From there I can swim by boat to Italy to taste ice cream.
I honestly think it's the best country to be in especially in the times of unpredictability and chaos.
That's why I left USA in 2022.
You may even install ZeroTier directly in these routers to [re-]configure router from anywhere.

Try to travel with russian passport in any civilized country.

This of course can backfire via social media into negative reputation and some repeated bad behaviors can landslide into class action.
But large companies are willing to accept such risk and will continue such pattern.
Equity compensation is essentially a legalized SV scam.
If you're an employee #6+ and not an insider - just negotiate a salary figure and/or work conditions.
Even if your shitty startup gets money laundered (I mean acquired) for 12 figures you are getting exactly zero of these figures.
That's a plan.
And startup lawyers smiling you into signing "just a standard" contract are getting paid big figures to laugh you out of the door after exit transaction.
Suddenly they're not doing that?
The rules of the [western] game is DO NOT attack russia with our weapons.
Which is a fair requirement. "We give you weapons, but you play by the rules, or else"
However summers are lovely albeit short, old Montreal is cute, and yes, cousine is delicious.
Platforms will do what they want to do pushing the limits until they got class action or compliance penalty awakening. They'll pay fine then rinse and repeat.
Regardless, use them for what they good at.
DO NOT rely your business models or your income solely on them.
They see you, everyone and everything as a chance to use and abuse to squeeze maximum profits and discard.
Use them alike.
Hard to argue with that, honestly.
Obviously if you want to buy genuine Rolex, or quality European made tools, Amazon is not the place.
