<p>I don't understand the question.<p>Perhaps if I describe the problem a bit more - I had the app, the app worked, the app was updated, and by being updated, needed a later version of Android (5.0).  I was running 4.4, and so could no longer run the app, and as such lost access to my account.</p>

<p>Sweden has been blocking offshore farms on the east side of country, where they would be fighting Russia.  West side farms are fine.<p>USA hardly has the same problem, and the current admin are frankly a bunch of low-brow vicious thugs, who in my view wouldn't know a genuine security problem from a large hole in the ground.</p>

<p>It took me about five years to get Revolut to return to me the funds in an account I could no longer access (Revolut overnight upped the Android requirement for their app, so I could no longer access), where they had no mechanism by which to regain access.<p>In the end I managed it by issuing a GDPR.  Revolut's GDPR staff were able to finally shut the account, and send me the funds, so I got them back.</p>

<p>"As only Orwell could, he marked the BBC as he left – almost prissily: ‘I feel that I have been treated with the greatest generosity and allowed very great latitude…on no occasion have I been compelled to say on air anything that I would not say as a private individual.’"<p>That page does not seem to support the claim that 1984 is about or relates to his  time at BBC.</p>

<p>No.<p>1. News outlets look to sell stories - and so catchy headlines.  Real value is optional.<p>2. I expect you could find a range of contrary views over the same time.  I've read good analysis saying economy will just keep going.<p>3. Try going to Russia and see what you find in the way of half-truths or free speech.</p>

<p>I looked to see if I could find anything asserting 1984 was about propaganda at BBC - nothing.<p>I found no interviews, no recordings - it seems what survives are his notebooks.<p>Can you describe the basis for the claim?</p>

<p>If you work full-time, you are in most countries penalized by progressive taxation; you pay say 20% on the first NN thousand, and then it moves to 40% or something more on the rest (or on everything, in some countries).<p>It seems much better to work three to six months per year, and remain in the lower tax bracket, and then have the rest of the year off.<p>I think this isn't widely recognized, because it if it were, I'd expect a lot more people to work as contractors, so they could work in this way.</p>
