Same in Italy, tax report is actually not needed if you're a regular employee and don't have anything else to declare. If you do, each year you get a pre-filled form on which you only need to add your deductible expenses and/or additional income outside the regular employment.
I guess it depends on what affordable means to you. You can find quite a few Orient watches without date at really reasonable prices, a couple of Timex too. If you're willing to spend a bit more you can also get various no-date Hamilton.
Franzensfeste was chosen by fascists as well, according to the Italian Wikipedia page. The previous name was Mezzaselva all'Isarco/Mittewald am Eisack.

I actually think TS team is much closer to the community than Flow's. Just look at the number of open and closed Issues on GitHub.
To me, Flow feels like something they needed in Facebook and they happened to open source. Their main focus is still FB's internal use and the direction is set by it.
TypeScript, on the other hand, does not feel like this at all. They truly put the community first, or so I - and many others - feel like.
