𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻... The United States has one of the strongest passports in the world, so it's very much worth having. The problem is--taxes. The U.S. is one of the very few countries that has citizenship-based taxation. What does that mean? It means the IRS expects you to file a tax return, declare your income and foreign bank accounts (if you have over $10k USD in any of them), and crypto holdings as well, plus pay capital gains taxes, 𝙉𝙊 𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙇𝘿. To the U.S. government, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘈𝘓𝘞𝘈𝘠𝘚 𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘹 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵. This is important to keep in mind when you decide to leave. The good news at least is that if you have a regular job that pays a wage, you can take advantage of the foreign tax credit which means up to $120k is considered tax free. But that doesn't help you if you're running a business. So the options are--plan accordingly, structure well, or consider renouncing your citizenship.

Demain, c’est parti !!!! 🇫🇷💪🏽

🚨 Every 10 mg/dL drop in LDL reduces your risk of a major cardiac event by 22%. That is not a theory. That is four decades of randomized controlled trial data from millions of patients. People still argue about whether LDL causes heart disease. The argument is over. They lost. Here is what the science actually says. 🔬 The mechanism is not complicated. LDL particles enter the arterial wall. They oxidize. They trigger inflammation. Macrophages engulf them and become foam cells. Foam cells build the plaque. Plaque ruptures. You have a heart attack. This is not speculation. This is biology we have confirmed across every major imaging modality, every autopsy series, and every interventional trial. 💓 The trial data is overwhelming. ✅ 4S (simvastatin): Major coronary events reduced 34% in patients with known heart disease. ✅ WOSCOPS (pravastatin): First trial proving primary prevention works. 31% reduction in non-fatal MI and coronary death in men who had never had a heart attack. ✅ JUPITER (rosuvastatin): Patients with low LDL but elevated CRP. 44% reduction in major cardiovascular events. The trial stopped early because the benefit was that clear. ✅ FOURIER (evolocumab): PCSK9 inhibitor on top of statins. LDL driven to 30 mg/dL. Cardiovascular death, MI, and stroke reduced 15% further. Lower is better. The curve does not bottom out. ✅ IMPROVE-IT (ezetimibe): Adding ezetimibe to a statin reduced LDL an additional 24% and reduced major adverse cardiovascular events 6.4% further. The mechanism was different. The benefit was the same. Because LDL is the target. 🩺 I am a cardiologist. I have treated thousands of patients with elevated LDL. I have watched the ones who refused treatment come back with stents, bypass surgery, or not come back at all. I have watched the ones who got their LDL to 50 to 70 mg/dL thrive for decades. The difference is not genetics alone. The difference is treatment. ⚠️ Here is where people get confused. ❌ LDL does not only matter if you already have heart disease. ❌ A low LDL does not protect you if you wait until you are 65 to address it. ❌ Statin side effects at the population level are not what social media tells you they are. The lifetime exposure to LDL is what matters. Every year your LDL sits at 130 mg/dL instead of 70 mg/dL is a year of plaque building silently in your coronary arteries. The question is no longer whether LDL causes heart disease. The question is how early and how aggressively you act. 🫀 A patient who gets their LDL to 55 mg/dL at age 45 and maintains it for 20 years does not just reduce their next cardiac event. They change the trajectory of their vascular aging entirely. That is the difference between a stent at 64 and a 90th birthday. ❤️ Bottom line: LDL causes heart disease. It is not a theory. It is the most replicated finding in the history of cardiovascular medicine. The data comes from Mendelian randomization studies, statin trials, PCSK9 inhibitor trials, ezetimibe trials, and imaging studies showing plaque regression at LDL levels below 70 mg/dL. Know your LDL. Know your LDL particle number. Know your ApoB. Get it low. Keep it low. Start early. The biology does not wait for you to finish the debate on social media. #Cardiology #HeartDisease #HeartHealth #CardiovascularHealth #LDL #Statins #PCSK9 #ApoB #PreventiveCardiology #LifestyleMedicine

@mmafanecuador Imagine thinking this makes you look like anything but a retard

@therealdcunna Your average "white" Spaniard

Scenes in the Atlanta concourse after Cabo Verde draws with Spain. Unbelievably cool.

Hes highly overrated and a big choker

@TaraBull I am sure side show bob doesn't mind

A woman's wedding dress is going viral and causing a huge stir online. Its slightly see thru so her nipples are showing and tons of people are speaking out about it. Bold choice or just too much for a wedding?

@ladies4pd @lifelivedfreelx @shivalry @WatchinginWait @james_hamlin Its funny how peoples online personas collapse when the DM's get leaked 😁

@lifelivedfreelx @shivalry @WatchinginWait @james_hamlin Try another gotcha maybe? 😂

Men are the more romantic sex and it's not even close.

A pearls for swine moment. This will be the highlight of this guys life. Male jealousy is a really nasty thing.

“España es la favorita del mundial “ La selección Española en su primer partido:

God honors his favorites by crushing them, drops the whole insufferable wretched weight of purpose on their spines until they either snap into shape or snap entirely. the unburdened, those buoyant grinning vapid little phantoms drifting through their own lives without a single crushing thing to carry, they are forgotten

Spain against Cabo Verde

Americans after paying $300 billion to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was never closed

Everyone who wasn't a rabid Spain stan could tell you they were overrated

@BoringBiz_ Baron needs to get on the zempic

What 1 year of investment banking at an elite boutique does to a person

@SterlingWest Is this true🥺

The hottest woman you know is lowkey the nastiest gooner you know

Florida is great if you’re rich and hot If you’re ugly and poor? NGMI

@RAWMAGAMILK Good

Can't tell if it's good or bad that I have watched all games in the WC so far.....
