Change the law. In Spain not helping someone that is found helpless and in danger, when you can do so without risk to yourself or others, is a criminal offence.
Sure, why fix the problem (being too easily blamed for an accident when you give aid, etc.) when you can just write a law that does nothing to address it? You assuage whatever societal guilt you might have for the problem without requiring the hard work of actually making any substantive change.
Such a law would be virtually impossible to enforce in any reasonable way; yes, you can make the odd example of someone, but are you going to spend massive effort on tracking down every passerby on whatever surveillance video might exist should they fail to give aid? If you were said passerby, wouldn't you just get away from the scene all that much more quickly to avoid the greater likelihood of being caught up in the mess?
While I disagree with your thinking, I do have to say you're clearly qualified for politics as this sort of logic drives a significant part of lawmaking... certainly in the U.S. and I suspect in other places around the world as well... maybe even India.
In the western world the law is the answer to most problems, but that's not possible in developing worlds where the judicial system is ineffective, biased and sometimes corrupt. In many situations, the laws hinder the countries from becoming better.
I may not be a fan of Apple any more, but I don't understand how this is sad.
The innards have been upgraded regularly since 2012, and the CPUs and GPUs in the latest 15" models are pretty competitive to everything else on the market not counting machines for gamers.
It's not Python, you face the same problems with Matlab, unless you vectorize your code to remove loops it's quite unusable for anything but small arrays
UK's healthcare system has real serious issues, sorry but the Victorian era is over, stop underrating all the protocols, procedures and recommendations from your American and European counterparts.
And don't say it's because UK population has different needs, one example, two hospitals at London same medical specialty, they recommend different medication doses for exactly the same treatment in their protocols.
No specialty chiefs, no teams, no supervisors, only solo consultants.
From what I've heard the fact that every single hospital insisted that it's requirements were special and that they could never standardize was one of the contributing factors in the great NHS systems disaster.
Of course, the other part was the the consultants doing the analysis were quite happy to work with this complexity as it meant more billable time for them - they had no incentives to make anything simpler.
NB I'm not implying that medics should be forced to standardize when it isn't relevant - getting the right level of standardization of processes is why implementing these kinds of systems is so difficult.
Personally I'm fine with redistribution of work. People should work less hours to make room for more people to be employed. When you see that 25% of the workforce is unemployed or employed only from time to time and the economy is stagnating, I take it as a good sign that the legal work hours should be reduced with 25% to make room for the rest of the workforce which is idling on welfare which in the end is taken from the ones who work.
For a spaniard it's going to be much more easy to create a company in UK and launch the crowdfunding project with the UK company, and then, move the money by the traditional ways (dividends, getting services from a spanish based company, ...). You are not going to avoid taxed but get rid of those stupid limits and obligations.
No need to use the future tense. For a long time it has been a lot easier and cheaper for a Spaniard to open a business in the UK than in his own country.
Things are slowly moving online in Europe, I think, though at varying speeds. In Denmark, you can now form an ApS in about a day, entirely online, without visiting any offices. It's a fairly simple web-form. For a traditional ApS you do need €6.500 in starting capital to incorporate (not a fee, just starting capital for the company's bank account). Options for covering that include state-subsidized loans, and as of the beginning of this year, a transitional form (Iværksætterselskaber), which can incorporate before raising the minimum capital, and then comes up with it later by diverting 25% of profits to the capital reserve until the €6500 threshold is met.
If you just want a registered business and VAT ID but don't need the corporate form, on the other hand, you can do that part for about 100 euros and an even shorter webform.
the thing is more nuanced: it is assumed you are evading taxes/laundering money and need to prove otherwise.
If you can prove this money is not untaxed income, than you're fine.
Yes, the duty of proof is opposed to the normal (you need to prove you are innocent).
It's a presumption that the transfer is taxable income and a requirement to demonstrate otherwise. That's a very heavy tax enforcement process, but in theory you can get the 20% back if it's not income. If it is income, you should have paid the 20% anyway.
You file on the web. You declare your monthly income and pay 24.5% tax, all inclusive of your income taxes. Even if you make no turnover the first months, you benefit fromthe health insurance, and you could even get the €400 survival allowance ("RSA"). If you reach 30k€/yr, you must file a proper company and you'll get the normal 75% tax rate.
I think we have a good system to let people start companies. Website is ugly and we live at the Cobol & Paper age, but we got this little part right. That was brought by Sarkozy.
I counted all inclusive, such as your health insurance, retirement, unemployment insurance, income tax, company tax. Wouldnt be surprised if the same level of coverage would bring the same fees anywhere else.
Do you really need to transfer much money to an Italian account?
There is no particular need to have a 'local' account - you can pay all your bills with EU/SEPA payments from any european bank, the prices/etc will be the same, and you can do your daily purchases with a non-local card just as well.
