It's giving the model a way to interact with the world. How do you expect a model to actually do more than be chat bot?

This article is looking for meaning in the tax system where there was never any to find. Whatever your philosophy, taxes are arbitrary. There is some broad consensus that we can't tax people who have no money. People act as though a lot of questions in the tax system have been settled but it takes very little thought to realise it is a stack of conventions with flimsy justifications and questionable incentives. Nobody with the power to change things seems to have a stack of evidence of why any particular configuration is expected to lead to better outcomes. If they do they really should talk about it more.

There are groups who believe that the tax system should encourage certain objectives. Which specific group has power keeps changing (a much deeper trend than mere political parties). The tax system is a jumble of competing ideas. Sometimes, if something is grossly unfair, the rules change. Other times they don't.

As others have noted, that's just how I write articles. More specifically, I have an end goal in mind, and to get there I need to establish a scene: make sure that we share a lot of context so that we can consider a problem together from the same angle.

Most articles don't do that, and so they're "short and to the point", but only to a tiny audience that already has the same shared culture. There's always readers complaining that they knew half of it and so I "wasted their time", but they forget about the other half, and also other readers.

Ideally, to please everyone, I would have to write a tailored article /just for them/, filling just the gaps they have. I do that on occasion, but I charge a lot of money for it :)

I'm curious, Europe-only, or European timezones?

Domain authority has some importance, but my understanding is that backlinks work per page, not per domain. Your newly published Medium article has the same back link profile as a newly published page on an owned blog.

Romanians are an issue, but for completely other reasons. Quite frustrating, but nothing to do with labor laws or visa in general.

But other than that I've never had or heard of any such issues here in Amsterdam. Locals are getting outnumbered in the tech-scene. The majority of my team is now non-Dutch, and not because it's cheap, because we pay well.
