I'm unemployable motherfucker
So today is a big day for me... For the last weeks I've been negotiating a deal that has the potential to set me up for life bit there's one catch.... Fucking contracts.
I don't like contracts, or lawyers, or "jobs". I enjoy my work, quite a lot actually but the contracting aspect scares the shit out of me.
However, this company is reputable, ethical, established but small, creative in everything they do, and goddammit they're fun... Also, the pay is ridiculous.
With these guys I'll be working with such capitalist brands as Lamborghini, Redbull, Marvel Film studios, and others. And although I'm not primarily motivated by money, there is mountains of it. Like Himalayan mountains of it.
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to sign the contract(s). There are two actually, plus a goddammed tax form which I have zero intention of ever paying. I'm going to throw myself into the work, and I'm going to have a blast.
I'll be debt free by the end of the year, can work remotely, and continue making enough to live my nomadic lifestyle forever without worry, as long as there is no global WiFi outage.
I'm actually super stoked at the possibilities, and truthfully they have given me a big out in that I can leave any time I want, no questions asked. I never got that guarantee from the government I can assure you. Those assholes still Hound me from time to time when they have a job that needs doing.
So curse me or congratulate me, it matters not because I do what I want. I'm still no boot licking statist nor will I ever be. And money never bought happiness, I know. But poverty never bought shit. I've been poor long enough I think.
Those of you that actually know me know that I'm terrible with money. I share literally everything I have (which ain't much) and if I've got it I'll likely spend it. But that's alright. I've got big plans to impact the world for good and I reckon from here on everything I make will go towards that end.
What do yall think? Am I selling out by working for a Hollywood commercial firm? Comment below and let's fight about it. Just kidding, I don't want to fight. But I am curious what others think.
Everyone has to do what they have to do to survive, I was just happy to see you say you had Zero intentions of paying the taxes hahaha
#taxationisextortion
ha! Ive been researching renouncing my citizenship lately as a matter of fact. It turns out that even though I have spent most of the last 4 years living abroad I am still liable for taxes during that entire time. Fuck that. The US is only one of 2 countries in the entire world with such dumbass laws. No Thanks. I think ill find me a fine ass Colombian missus when I head back south and just be done with the whole damn business. Convert everything to cryptocurrency and live free for real.
Good idea! I left the states about 2 years ago to be with the woman I met on FB @ascendedmonkey
Not sure how much $ they think I owe them, but I haven't paid taxes (extortion) once in my life! :D
Nice! I haven't paid in about 4 years... And for some reason they think I'm going to do the calculations and fill out the forms lol. I did learn recently though that the irs can revoke your passport if they think you owe more than $50k. Where did you move? And do they extradite?
I moved to Trinidad, don't know and don't care lol!
Ah beautiful. Do you have resident status or what?
If that's what you wanna call it ;) lol
Haha! Understood

I understand.... very well ....
I work for a video production company in LA as their head of online marketing and am part of their sales team. I'm currently laying the foundation to build an anarchist town in Peru with a focus on advocating for fresh water protection and access. I'm heading to Colorado soon to begin work on a natural building project to help me complete my education in that field. I have a thorough theoretical knowledge but need some hands on experience. Those are the main points. What about you? What do you do?
