I'm happy that you found something that works for you. But wouldn't it have been cheaper to move to a place closer to the office of your previous employer?
This is terrible advice, the company will never give you a heads up if they are going to fire you. Do what's best for you. Keeping a good relationship with your current employer comes second.
If the scenario you are describing actually happens, the rules will be changed. It's not like they are set in stone and politicians will react if they start losing votes on this kind of apocalyptic scenario. They won't say this out loud because it would defeat the purpose of the rule in the first place.
If their competition is able to lower their prices at point of sale due to increased subscription revenue, it's going to hurt Mazda's sales. If the subscription model is successful, I expect Mazda an other auto-makers to follow through.
As far as I know, anyone can buy land/properties here. I think the only restriction is that foreigners are not allowed to buy land up to 30km from the border or something like that. Prices are way cheaper than in the US but probably more expensive than other south american countries.
You can get a residence permit in Uruguay just with your birth certificate and your passport. Then you need to prove that you have the means to sustain yourself and that's it, no more requirements for moving here. Also, no taxes on software exports ;)
For any Russians reading this, Uruguay has an open border policy for immigrants who want to come to live here. There's already a small Russian community here and it will be easy to settle.
Yes, corruption in Uruguay is way lower and the country is more stable. But also it's a very small country, so not many opportunities around for most people.
I'm from Uruguay and here OLPC was adopted by the government in 2007. Till now every kid and teenager from public and private schools receive a "ceibalita" laptop that they can use for whatever they want. They are used at school by some teachers although not all.
During the recent pandemic the program was fundamental because it allowed all children from all socio-economic backgrounds to switch to remote learning.
Most poor kids don't have a PC at home and it's hard to access the labor market without knowing how to use one.
