but there was a few I just got lucky, Clédial got me because I didn't expect a drug to have an accent.
I'm sad that tariffs mean I can't bring in dirt cheap liquor from the Caribbean to sell for massive profits but that's not an excuse to not pay my taxes.
If I need syringes to work, national syringes costs 3 usd a pack (and they are out of stock) and I can get the same pack for 85 cents in Chile, I'll exchange pesos crocante for dolar blue, cross the border to Chile and get them there.
I wouldn't call it human right, but the idea of amass currency to buy goods seems pretty essential for our modern life.
Although it's sad that tariffs make selling cheap liquor unprofitable in your country, I think we're thinking about different scales of income.
* pay a living wage
* pay your taxes
* comply with health, safety, and employment regulations
* comply with all the other laws (this is a crypto thread, so that includes weapons laws, securities laws, international sanctions, and so many more)
Then you don't have a valid business. You have no inherent right to run whatever business you think you want to.
Also, to your immediate claim, I do not believe you.
I do pay my taxes, also think high worth individuals should be subject of taxation, but your rigid framework leaves out many people that use crypto as their only way to get paid and/or save money because traditional banking system is broken in their countries.

>And there are mechanisms to challenge laws you don’t like that don’t involve simply deciding you’re not going to obey them.
I'm curious about those mechanism to challenge laws.
I'm not commenting on whether this particular case of lawbreaking is morally supportable or not. Even if it's 100% morally justified, it's still lawbreaking.
Perhaps it's against the written law, but I think in most countries I am aware of, laws are subject to the judges' interpretation.
As a very last resource, because again, I do not condone crimes, but: When tyrants rule, it's our human right to disobey.
Would you accept to be subservient to a power structure that doesn't work for you? For the "We The People"? Vote them away yes, given voting is not a deceptive theatrical show like it is in Venezuela. So, what are the other alternatives? Ruling out violence of course.
Tax evasion is against the law and therefore is objectively a crime. Whether or not the law is good is a different discussion entirely.
I don't condone tax evasion, but if I can't work because the State wants to go broke before I can even start running my business sorry but no one will do it.
The workers are the ones who can't get a job because of the "worker protection laws" you evoke, so you clearly don't understand the problems of Latin America.
This structure only gives them an incentive to travel hundreds of kilometers to a ranch where a bovine died for unknown reasons, for amounts that a western european would spend in a single take-out dinner.
