Quite right. If you don’t know anything about a subject or don’t understand it, it’s best to say nothing at all.

But can I ask a question? I am moving to Laos next month. Plan to invest in a business for profit, consisting of trade, a bit of industry, maybe hire a few citizens to help me build the business, plan for an early retirement after saving up a nest egg, surprise my wife with a lake house and a $25K emerald.
Will I run into any problems if I follow all the rules? I have an up-to-date passport, good to go, and my business capital can be wired to any bank in Laos.

Only if it's an honest one.

So, no.

I am moving to Laos next month.

You do realise they've been cracking down on your... [i]kind[i]... for the last couple of decades, don't you? It's no fun, being shoved into a cell with several burly non-!^&#philes for the rest of your life. Better be very careful, Joe. Your home ground of Allybammy is rather more open to your... predilections.

Certainly certainly you know that I’m not really going to Laos. I selected Laos as an example of a socialist country. Certainly you get the gist. So what do you think of this premise?

In the USA, one starts at McD flipping burgers. Some end up as Board members, as would be my goal if I were 22 years old. My point is, with the query of my post, that there are many countries, some represented here on the Forum, where that would be impossible.
I cannot IMAGINE living in a country which restricts all that goes with being a success in life. One cannot ever say they have unlimited possibilities when they live in such a country. Sonhouse says it is all about money. That is an extremely limited and shallow point of view.
So, unlimited possibilities, or, a nanny state?
Still no response? I truly wonder why. To you libs it is probably a trick question.

A telling response, given that the opportunities I suggest do not exist in the subject countries, or for that matter, in your socialist mind. Pathetic, indeed.
Well, that will do it for this thread. Nowhere!!

Dude,man. Did you enjoy a great entrepreneurship there, maybe create some jobs? Did you grow your business, maybe open several branches, expand? Did you find investors, or bring on partners? Did you not just LOVE it, there is no better feeling than success.....coolest is waking up in the morning worth more than you were before going to bed.
If you were well know, you prob should have run for office, maybe city council, and then work your way up.

I don’t know Joe, what are the rules on that in your particular secure facility?

@kevcvs57 please leave room for Sonhouse to tell us how one can be a success and raise a famiy in Laos. Be free.
You and Marauder, I have noticed, never have a need to use the word free or freedom
