Wealthy Norwegians are fleeing the country following a wealth tax increase last year. Røkke, who has a Forbes-estimated net worth of $4.9 billion, had reportedly been the country's biggest taxpayer. Switzerland has long been considered an attractive tax haven for affluent people looking to take advantage of its lower taxes. According to PwC, wealth taxes in Switzerland vary by canton – its 26 regions. It says that the result of this is an "overall personal net wealth tax rate between 0.02% and 1.03%."

At first, I focused a lot of the content on microdosing, which I had done with LSD while living in Thailand. AdvertisementAdvertisementIn my opinion, a misconception is that psychedelics don't work to aid mental health. I don't work with people interested in trying psychedelics to heal post-traumatic stress disorder or depression because I'm not a clinician. If someone is coming to you as a coach to work with psychedelics, they may, for example, be struggling with relationships. The challenge isn't necessarily that I'm worried about being arrested but more about the limitations on what I can do.

It requires social media companies to publicly share their content moderation policies and report their enforcement data to the state attorney-general twice a year.
