Deleted because it’s clear I won’t change anyones mind. People who want to believe that Google is guilty, will believe they are guilty no matter what.

You should re-read what your wrote. You are advocating for tax evasion by not paying the country where you are working and violating immigration laws by working under the pretense of a tourist visa.

The company has obligations to the state in terms of additional taxes, unemployment etc. They need to themselves up in order to conduct business in every state and they may fall under the jurisdiction of the laws of that state. There are tons of things that states impose on companies if they register to work in that state so yes they have a right to know.

For example, NY state had VERY different laws and obligations when it comes to a money transfer service. If you transfer money and you aren’t registered in NY state then you obviously don’t need to obey the regulations. For example all board member of the money transfer company need to submit financial documents.

However if an employee moves to NY, then the entire company would fall under the blanket of that because the company would need to register itself in NY. This is just 1 example. Colorado has laws regarding giving pay ranges on job postings. Many jobs no longer advertise in Colorado now because of it because they don’t want to fall under that blanket.

Again Dunning Kruger is in full effect.

It is perfectly legal for tax authorities to demand taxes for EVERY ONE of your situations you mention. They usually give a certain leeway because it’s impossible to catch every instance but if you blatantly disregard the tax laws in the country where you are at, you are setting yourself up for legal troubles.

Just because you can do it because the authorities don’t pursue it doesn’t mean that you can do it. You are saying “do it because no one will catch you” is advocating for tax evasion. You can also commit murder and possibly get away with it, it doesn’t mean that you didn’t commit murder.

You don’t have an understanding of taxes and immigration law which is why you are advocating for things that you don’t even understand. This is a perfect example of Dunning-Kruger. You should just delete your comments.

Like I said, professional athletes have to pay taxes every day that they pay a game in a state/country. That means even if a professional athlete flies in for a game, and fly out the same day, they still have to pay taxes for the one day they were physically there.

Shakira is facing tax evasion changes and jail time because of a dispute as to where she was living.

You said “it’s nobody’s business where you sleep” which is patently false. Like I said, you are advocating tax evasion by not following the tax rules of every country where you sleep at night.

I read what you wrote and stand by everything that I said. You are advocating tax evasion (not paying taxes to the country and state where you are residing) and breaking the terms of your tourist visa by working.

Your comment in case you edit or delete it:

“ It's also possible to leave your mailing address the same (I like to use a post box) and blur your background on calls and use a VPN router and simply... not tell anyone. Where you sleep really isn't anyone else's business. This whole "you can't work from $PLACE while remote, it's illegal!" thing is super overblown. Just keep your mouth shut and live your life. Your coworkers/customers have no need to know with regards to your physical location.”

You couldn’t be more wrong. You need to pay taxes where you reside. If you’re working abroad you need to pay taxes where you’re working.

Professional athletes pay taxes to every state where they play a game.

You are advocating for evasion of taxes as well as working in a country on a tourist visa. In the US that can get you as lifetime ban.

EDIT: the company you work for has to pay things like payroll taxes and unemployment to the country as well, unless you are a contractor. So the company itself is on the hook if you are working from another state/country.

You never cut salary. That’s the best way to get people to leave. If they are good they can find another job with a raise.

I said the same thing. Taking responsibility doesn’t mean “I acknowledge that this is on me.” Of course it is. How about some accountability? How about getting your pay clawed back etc? Just “taking responsibility” is lip service.

TikTok is crazy addictive. I’m in my 50s and I watch it for an hour when I wake up and an hour before I sleep. It’s entertaining as hell but I know it’s bad for me.

The fact that Instagram is copying them is sad.

1947 was 75 years ago. Taking 1 example per lifetime doesn’t constitute any sort of evidence to the contrary.

If they don’t reveal their methodology then how could this be used as evidence? Shouldn’t that lead to the entire case being thrown out if the police were alerted by this? Seems ridiculous to not allow the defense to see the methodology, even radar guns get that treatment.

I think the peak for ridiculous boobs was over 10 years ago. On the comic book subreddit, there will be a lot of comments on how ridiculous some of the huge boobed female pics that get posted. I definitely think it’s falling out of favor, which I agree with.

Your response is absurd. You think China would only focus on a few cities? They likely have multiple efforts going in every major city all at the same time. They have more than enough money and motivation to do that. To dismiss Houston just because it’s not Silicon Valley is absurd. Any strategic advantage is still an advantage. They have the luxury of not having to worry about profits and losses like a corporation.
