Thanks for your reply.

Can I continue to file US taxes for the stocks instead of paying 30%?

hello everyone, I have a friend who really wants to lose weight. Her diet isn't great, but its not terrible (food-wise), and she does go to the gym occasionally. Her biggest issue: she's addicted to mountain dew. I am convinced that if she just cut that out of her diet and changed nothing else she ...

How about searching for "Spanish Expats in Singapore"?

Shanghai dumplings?
Like xiaolongbao?

Good for business? In some cases for a short-term boost, but not in the long term. Though some technical advances supported by military spending may help the economy (those that can be commercialized), the bulk of military spending is a drag that does not help future prosperity.
