I'm fucking done with this joke of a country. Wish I could just get the hell out of here before these imbeciles get us kicked out from EU or close borders. We are pretty much the laughingstock of europe.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

Then, allow me to shed some light on the situation.

The national tax and customs bureau(NAV) has issued a replacement of all cash registers in Hungary.
These modern ones are all interconnected to their database.
Guess how?

Yep, online. That is going to put a serious toll on shops, and this is just one very small part of the picture.

There are estimates that many internet service providers will go bankrupt and cease to exist, they can only get about a 10% revenue from their current activities right now.

I'd also like to state that Hungary has the highest value added tax in the world. 27% on everything pretty much.

This tax goes on top of your subscription which is quite costly already because of that.

On some news, the next protest is scheduled on November 17. That will be the day when they vote about the tax.

Considering they have secured two thirds again and they are in control thanks to populist propaganda and rewriting the constitution so they cannot lose as hard as they normally would, there isn't much hope in reversing this in a democratical way.

Ofcourse they are saying that us citizens will be protected and the ISP-s can't force us to pay more, which is fucking ridiculous if you think about it for even a second.

Well, I hope they won't let it pass, if there's even some kind of parliament needed to agree to that.

Politicians: if we keep thinking that a democracy lead by completely untrained, unethical, self promoting, self serving, money grubbing, greedy mega egos is going to produce anything but negative results, politicians is what we get I'm afraid.
I don't know enough

I also forgot to note that there were protests in 12 hungarian cities, in Britain, Poland, and the Netherlands.

Good to know people of europe are with us. There were also EU flags everywhere on these protests.

This is not only about this tax only. It is about abuse of political power, endless corruption, the head of NAV got banned out of the USA for corruption charges for an example, and five more people also did.

Still not Hungary.  In fact, time for a diet.

Hopefully this doesn't set a precedent for the rest of the world.

The best thing IT businesses in Hungary can do is take their taxable income elsewhere to countries that don't do this.  Pack up shop and set up elsewhere.  There's no reason to tolerate this dickmove by parliament.
