why: so the government won’t be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they’re planning for the next 4 years.
as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.
one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you’re doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren’t in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don’t have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it’s a little over 125k this year).
But if you earn over the threshold, you’re expected to pay taxes to the US government, no matter where you’re actually living or working, no matter if you’re also paying taxes wherever you currently are. The US is the only country in the world to assert that it has the right to tax its citizens remotely in this manner. It’s not normal.
The US has double taxation treaties with over 60 countries. When you pay taxes somewhere else, you deduct all of that tax from your US taxes above the $125k.
Though I definitely agree the IRS shouldn’t need these treaties, because if you’re not living there, why should you even need to file?
Because US law says so lol
Y’all just now learning that laws are written for the benefit of the ruling regime, not the peasants.
There were only “two parties in all States,” Randolph concluded. “The ins and the outs.” The ins construed governmental power broadly for the gain of their own “patronage and wealth,” while the outs tried to limit such power. “But let the outs get in . . . and you will find their Constitutional scruples and arguments vanish like dew before the morning sun.”
It’s Navy SEAL protection money.
They also charge you a crazy exit tax if you want to give up citizenship in order to save on taxes. They always get their pound of flesh.
Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.

Good.

That’s actually libertarian idiot 101, different class, held in the garage of a disheveled rancher flying a gadsden flag.
the state has monopoly on violence…
It does not
go do some against a “nazi”, plz report back the results 🤡
Anyone who throws out clown emojis is a clown themselves.
It’s the internet rule 42069.
WTF are you even talking about?
Add that to the list
Double taxation treaties are very common. What I’ve been told by US coworkers makes the US stand out is that you still need to file your taxes with the IRS, even when living abroad. No idea if that’s actually the case.
I have lived outside my native country for a while and only had to file taxes in my country of residence (neither of which is the US), because there’s a DTAA in place between the two.
“over the threshold, you’re expected to pay taxes”
sort of, that’s the “up to 125k” limit part of the FEIE(readjusted for inflation every year).
you still don’t pay taxes on the first 125k.
earning more than 125k is not a problem most people have.
The problem most people have is not knowing that the feie exists in the first place and there are legal, straightforward ways to avoid paying income tax while saving money traveling.
“no matter if you’re also paying taxes wherever you currently are…”
this is very iffy and depends on a lot of factors.
again, for most regular people, foreign income tax credits will erase most financial duties to the US.
“The US is the only country in the world…”
nearly.
“It’s not normal.”
nope, it’s definitely weird and it sucks.
but at least there’s the FEIE.
It’s not the only country. I’ve lived in another country that was just like that. I bet other countries have the same rule to avoid some tax loophole. Or just because they can.
That said, if you’re making over 100k trumps tax cuts will probably be pretty nice for you.
Not if you live in a state with state and local income tax. They capped SALT deductions, so you’re basically paying tax on taxed income.
But if you live overseas you in fact do not live in a state.
Some states still require you to file even if you don’t live there, but have ties, and may tax your income.
can you define ties? Because I don’t see how if I move from state A to state B that they will take income I earn while living in state B.
You own property in the state, or consider it your primary residence, you have income from business or investments in the state.
It really varies state by state.

Further, not doing so could impact things like voter registration depending upon the state. The whole system of US voting is a mess since it’s all at the state level.
Well, it is on them to find me and this income.
The exemption only applies to earned income, meaning you cannot apply any of that $125k to stuff like investment returns, dividends, royalties, or rents collected.
That’s right.
The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion specifically applies to earned income, and does not apply to unearned income.
Nobody:
Literally no one:

I always find it mad as hell that Americans have to pay tax in the US even if they are living and earning elsewhere
Especially given generally Americans are pretty allergic to reasonable taxation
yeah it is totally banana stacks, and nobody tells anybody else how to get around that, of course.
since nobody knows the sacred knowledge anyway.
some tax guy, not my tax guy, just a random guy who worked in taxes, offhandedly mentioned it to me like it was no big deal one day and I was like whaaaat?
most of the expats I know just don’t pay taxes because they’re dumb, or they’re paying taxes that they don’t need to because nobody told them about the FEIE.
You still need to file every year. An advisor at least here in Germany can do both countries, but you pay a premium for that.
I addressed that in a comment but I did not include that in the body.
fixed.
The FEIE is super simple to fill out.
pretty sure you have to fill out the 2555 as well bro
you also have to pay tax where you are domicile, aka where you live
“…the 2555 as well…”
nope, not “as well”, the 2555 is the single FEIE form I am explaining about in this post.
“you also have to pay tax where you are domicile”
nope, inclusive taxes are usually paid directly to the foreign government.
you can claim a US housing tax exemption for the same reason as the FEIE, but paying taxes on your foreign housing is usually unnecessary.
yeah ok the 2555 is the FEIE you mentioned.
its important to note that if youre within the US for more than that 35 day exemption, you start to pay taxes pro-rata.
I think you agreed with what I said just using different words about paying taxes where you do live- yes, you pay them directly to the government where you are domicle.
“yeah ok the 2555 is the FEIE you mentioned.”
yeah, that’s why i said it, haha.
“if youre within the US for more than that 35 day exemption, you start to pay taxes.”
are you going to rewrite everything I said in the post and comments?
to me?
"you pay them directly to the government where you are domicle. "
you are!
You’re paraphrasing my words back to me.
huh.
curiouser and curiouser.
I heard you need to file every year even if you’ve never lived in the US.
Depends. For example in Finland the filing is done for you every year by the tax authorities and tax is deducted every month from your salary. Once a year you get either money back or need to pay more if your work situation changes during the year. You can also correct them by saying “hey I paid this bus card” etc. and get money back.
In Germany it works about the same, except they charge you quite a lot more every month. Here you do not have to file, but if you do you usually get a lot of money back. Filing is more complex than in Finland, so you might want to have a tax advisor to do it for you.
I read somewhere that Eritrea (the North Korea of Africa) is the only other country that has this policy.
Once again the US is in good company.
If you were employed by a foreign company that has no presence in the US how exactly would the IRS know whether you’ve earning more than $125k?
Because money keeps getting deposited in your bank account every two weeks and you’re not reporting any income.
Banks hand all of that information over.
Maybe I’m not understanding what you mean, but if someone works and lives abroad for 330 days of the year they’ll likely have a bank account established within that country so that they don’t have to deal with all of their daily financial activities being international transactions.
There is a system whereby foreign banks are obligated to report accounts held by Americans to the US for “anti terrorism” purposes.
And as a us citizen you are also obligated to report all of your foreign accounts in a FBAR filing each year.
There is a system whereby foreign banks are obligated to report accounts held by Americans to the US for “anti terrorism” purposes.
Could you give me a name, or at least some link to a government website that describes the system you’re talking about?
https://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/countries/global-network.html
I am sure there are better sources than this, but I am going by what I was told by the bank when I opened an account here in Japan. And maybe it does not only apply to Americans, but I was told at the bank that I had to fill out additional anti-terror related paperwork with US details specifically because of US citizenship.
Perhaps I’m the one who misread. I took OP’s comment as saying working for a foreign company with no presence in the US while living in the US. On a second read, that might not be what they meant.
The title quite literally says “If Americans live outside of the US for more than 330 days …” how can you possibly think it means what you think? Especially after two reads.
I’m with you Cheese, the vibe was “just report that you weren’t here so you aren’t supporting genocide.”
Honor system
they wouldn’t know initially.
you report your income, and then if the IRS suspects foul play, they would check later.
If you’re making over 125k, then you’ll likely have some kind of connected web/media presence that would allow them to at least circumstances confirm your position and standing within the field.
they could also check your bank balance and international holdings against the amount you said you’ve been making and see if it matches up.
they could also check your bank balance and international holdings against the amount you said you’ve been making and see if it matches up.
Does the IRS have authority to issue such requests to foreign banks? How would the IRS even know what foreign bank to issue these requests to?
Sorry, I have no knowledge about what information is communicated across international borders with regards to the banking world and how this gets tracked on a per-individual basis.
“Does the IRS have authority to issue such requests to foreign banks?”
issue requests, sure.
and companies with an international presence or countries with a working relationship with the US would be happy to respond to the IRS at least in rough confirmation.
4 out of 5 people in the US would never have to worry about making more than $125 k a year, but if you’re reporting $60,000 annual income and then buying a house every year, the IRS would start looking into it.
irs interest depends on how large the income disparity appears to be before they start officially investigating and probing for more certain corroboration and confirmations.
it’s just like your taxes in the US.
If you have a yard sale and don’t report it, the IRS isn’t going to pay attention to the extra $200 you didn’t report that year unless you happened to sell a personal boat later that year for 200k.
it’s all about what flags the interest of the IRS.
“How would the IRS even know what foreign bank to issue these requests to?”
If you have over 10,000 usd abroad in total, all foreign holdings included, you are required to file what is called an fbar that year, which really is I think five fields on one form, you fill out the name of the Bank, address, the country and the amount.
that’s so the IRS can keep tabs on. approximately how much you’re making versus how much you say you’re making if you’re keeping your savings overseas.
“…gets tracked on a per-individual basis.”
No worries, these are all great questions and I’m treating them like a refresher course.
The IRS is largely dependent on self-reporting whether us citizens or residents are inside or outside of the country, which largely works because maintaining a believable fiction about your income is not easy to consistently pull off and consequences for self-reporting income incorrectly are so much higher than the amount of taxes most people are going to pay that it makes sense to self-report as accurately as you can.
Ok, but realistically, the people who would actually attempt tax evasion here wouldn’t be susceptible to any of the above.
Let’s assume a scenario where you have a dual citizen of the US and a South American country that has less than stellar relations with the US government.
Let’s say they obtained their US citizenship by being born in the country during a temporary period of time that the parents resided there. The family decided to move back after a year or two, another 40 years passed, and the kid has grown to be a successful plastic surgeon who runs a self owned clinic and earns $200k income annually. Being aware of their dual citizenship they keep their wealth invested in entities with no US presence and never self-report anything to the IRS.
This is where I am not seeing any way for the IRS to enforce or do anything about this type of tax evasion.
“Ok, but realistically…”
The family is more susceptible than you suspect, as well as being under constant and significant duress.
I’m not sure why they would stay dual citizens if their entire purpose is to live in a different country permanently, but:
If, in your situation, the family kept all their money abroad, never reports, uses or transfers a significant amount of that money, waits 40 years, filling falsified us taxes and legitimate South African taxes the entire time, their son also never uses or transfers that money until he begins to launder it through a personal corporation that he has to keep consistent business records for, maintaining fake employees and fake patients false receipts and false invoices, a falsified or real office and equipment that either way he has to pay real rent on, and slowly reintroduces that money back into his “legitimate” accounts, then after half a century and a never-ending amount of effort at maintaining a comprehensive deception while they all continue to fill out their falsified US tax forms and legitimate South African tax forms consistently every year and never using the extranational or laundered money irresponsibly, never make a regular everyday mistake on any tax forms so that the IRS or South Africa performs an audit, and everything else goes right, apparently never live in the US but continue to file US taxes for their entire lives, tax evasion could work for that family and they could “get away with it”.
is it worth it?
I don’t think so. I can’t see any upside to that sort of tax evasion.
“Let’s assume… let’s say…”
Yes, hypothetical and real situations occur because tax evasion seems much easier than it is, the risk seems lower than it is, the effort seems lower than it is, and the reward seems greater than it usually is.
that’s why so many people attempt it. that’s why you don’t report selling a desk on Craigslist.
nobody’s saying that self-reporting is a perfect, foolproof taxation model. it’s a model that does what it’s supposed to. it allows the IRS to function as efficiently and effectively as it currently knows how to.
The federal government is well aware whenever a person enters the country and quite possibly for exiting.
yes, customs and border protection keeps records of legal entries and exits to and from the US.
why?
Everyone is coming up with elaborate schemes the government can use to determine if someone really was out of the country when they claimed to be.
oh, haha, got it. goofballs.
However, since you don’t pay taxes on that money, it can impact which kinds of retirement accounts you can use based in the US, if any. Also, trying to invest as a US citizen outside the US can suck because of all the agreements with US banks. Many Japanese platforms, for instance, won’t touch me because of US reporting requirements. I also can’t functionally use the tax-advantaged retirement accounts here because many amount to what are called PFICs by the IRS which requires paperwork and are taxed punitively more than wiping out any advantage the retirement accounts would have.
You’re also going to have a rough time getting a US investment account if you don’t have one already. Then you have to figure out how to have a US phone number because two-factor auth basically requires it for any bank or anything that will touch you.
There are other “fun” things about being a US citizen living abroad.
Do you live abroad? I’m expatting in a few weeks (long planned, not in a pure panic due to Trump) and would love ask a few questions if so!
I can try to answer. I’ve lived in Japan for almost a decade (this is my 10th year).
That’s so cool!
How old (ish) were you when you moved?
Did you speak any Japanese before?
Any consideration towards relocating again?
Any other stories you want to share?
ありがとうございます、友達
- moved in my early 30s
- had studied Japanese in a couple of classes and then mostly on my own, but I could navigate and order food. My reading was (and still is) fairly bad
- not really. Partly due to age, but I do quite like it here. It would take something huge to make me move again
- no real stories that I can think of. Expect communication issues and accidental hurt feelings due to language/culture issues at first as it’s pretty unavoidable whilst learning.
“However, since you don’t pay taxes on that money, it can impact which kinds of retirement accounts you can use, if any”
The math works out in your favor.
wouldn’t you rather have that money earning interest now rather than receiving a few hundred later on when you probably don’t need it as much?
“Also, trying to invest as a US citizen outside the US can suck because of all the agreements with US banks.”
it can suck, and it can also be awesome.
I see you’re speaking specifically to Japanese banking standards, which I would agree are one of the more difficult countries for a US citizen to interface with.
but that’s a great thing about there being about 200 countries.
Bank somewhere else if you want to.
try Hong Kong or China or Thailand or Portugal or Sweden or you know, a lot of countries.
you don’t have to live in the country you bank in.
Yeah, some is specific to Japan, though there will be similar hurdles anywhere the US has an agreement (and that the target country’s institutions actually follow it, I suppose).
I have a couple of retirement accounts in the US that I contributed to before (I moved overseas in my early 30s) that I basically can’t touch for a number of reasons right now. Just wanted to throw it out there.
It might be interesting to crosspost this to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Also, I know you mean good, but this isn’t relevant to probably a high number of Lemmy users who are not US citizens
No, as labeled, this is a US specific tax procedure that people who don’t pay US taxes won’t be able to take advantage of.
but lucky for them, most of them don’t have to!
most countries outside of the US have a similar procedure included in their far more citizen friendly tax codes.
the us is way behind other countries on…well a bunch of stuff, but with taxes specifically, you don’t usually have to declare that you’re not in the country if you don’t pay taxes, you just don’t pay the relevantaxes and the government only bothers you if you’re a big old liar.
I’m sorry, I’m not sure I get your comment. If this is a US specific procedure, then wasn’t my point that is isn’t relevant to non US citizens Lemmy users correct?
correct, yes.
I was trying to tactfully point out your comment’s redundancy, given the specific post title and body explanation of US tax code relevancy.
it’s sort of like I made a post about male seahorses giving birth, and you pointed out that male zebras do not give birth.
correct, for sure.
Just trying to avoid this community turning into !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world where all the questions are about the US elections
in that case, you want to retrain your target parameters.

By the way, it’s always curious to me that there is no large instance managed from the USA.
LW and feddit.nl are Dutch
Lemm.ee is Estonian
Feddit.org and discuss.tchncs.de are German

There is Midwest.social but it’s quite small.
Any idea of the potential reasons?
“They’re currently set on “USA specific posts in a general community”.”
you might be drawing attention to the thing you’re trying to avoid.
“Any idea of the potential reasons?”
No idea, although I was wondering the same thing.
there are so many non-english communities that I regularly search for lemmy demographics out of curiosity, but I can’t even find ballparks on users categorized by nationality.
Yeah, it goes up faster than inflating each year, it seems. 126,400 per person or 253k for married I believe this year, which is a pretty fair bit especially considering you deduct the taxes you locally pay off the top first, afaik
“considering you deduct the taxes you locally pay off the top first”
i understood local taxation to be inclusive to the FEIE, can i see your source?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/foreign-tax-credit.asp
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1116.pdf
I thought it was a Form 1116 thing, but I could be wrong for sure. IANAL and haven’t yet done foreign taxes so who knows yet
oh i see. thanks.
yea, the 1116 is for people paying formal taxes to the foreign government directly, usually because you’re living there as a permanent resident or operating a business full-time and significantly, have established your permanent tax home in that other country.
using the 1116, you don’t pay all of the taxes twice, although you still pay some of them twice because the US wants that cash.
the FEIE, form 2555, means that your tax is still in the US and only requires that you’re not in the US for 330 days out of the year to exempt income tax on up to 125k of income earned while outside of the country.
the feie does have a residency test as well, but the physical presence qualification of 330 days each year is simpler and requires much less trouble to set up initially (permanent residency, switching tax homes, work permits and all that) to qualify for, so I only deal with the physical presence test.
Gotcha, okay. So you could do it either way, but for most people ($125k and below per person) it’s probably just better to use the feie it seems
This is great, thanks for sharing all this.
exactly, the feie makes tax mitigation way simpler for most full-time travelers at most income levels.
you’re welcome, I love it when people find this stuff useful!
Unless you renounce US citizenship of course. I understand it’s a bit extreme, but it is a solution
do you mean “another option to avoid paying taxes is renouncing your citizenship?”
in which case, yeah, extreme and still an option.
but the FEIE is way simpler and you can keep the few perks US citizenship still affords its rabble.
Which isn’t free btw.
I’m seriously tempted to sell all my stuff and just become a nomad.
Sounds pretty dreamy all in all.
it’s pretty great.
and it’s just about as easy as you have described.
If you have any questions, I am happy to answer.
I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve helped other people start traveling.
I guess my only question is, if I sell everything and liquidate all of my assets I would probably have like 30 grand, maybe more maybe less.
How long is that going to last me while I’m wandering, and what options are there to keep money rolling in?
-
tldr: "30 grand will last you at least 5 years of very comfortable living if you’re at all trying to budget wisely.
-
the easiest and most immediately profitable is English teacher, but remote work is vast and covers every field, so it really depends on what you’re interested in.
1 full)
totally depends on your habits and proclivities, but I lived on less than $300 a month for about a year. a lot of hostels in Asia and Europe have monthly discounts and they’re already like $7 a day. in Asia they can be $2 a day for a bunk bed in a room.
private rooms are 10 to 15 bucks a day, but if you’re going to do that then just go to a hotel and pay for the month, which you can easily get for $200 to $300 a month all utilities included.
I’ve been doing this a while, so right now I’m living in India paying $300 a month for a private two-bedroom two bathroom full kitchen, living room and dining room house plus rooftop terrace parking garage, the whole package, all utilities included plus free unlimited Wi-Fi.
about $0.90 will get you at one entree of chili goby, 2 to 4 rotis and a side of dal or curry.
kabobs are about $0.20 here, potstickers are up to $0.10 each.
anyway, you can live extremely cheaply in the beginning and then figure out what you want and go from there.
If you have 30 grand and no experience traveling, you can rent private condos or houses in a couple dozen countries off tge top of my head for less than 500 USD a month, all utilities included.
in the cheaper countries, you can spend $20 a day eating out at the fancier restaurants or go to the mom and pop shops or cook yourself and spend $1-3 a day on simpler meals.
If you want to pamper yourself and live in more expensive countries, you can double all those prices, but the more you travel the better you’ll get at traveling and finding good prices.
30 grand will last you at least 5 years if you’re at all watching your money,.
annually, you only need a couple thousand to live indoors and eat as much as you want, several thousand to to live privately end comfortably and enjoy entertainment everyday, and a few thousand after that to splurge most of the year.
2 full)
important consideration is that you only need to make five grand a year for all of your expenses well traveling in the more affordable countries (of which there are dozens), anything after that is play money.
If you have zero skills or certifications, English teaching is the easiest and quickest way to make money. you’re instantly making $12 to $20 an hour repeating primary colors and fundamental vocabulary to smart well-behaved children for 45 minutes at a time.
you can get a tefl certification for 40 bucks on Groupon, that lasts for a lifetime and increases your pay up to $20 even without experience.
or you can just fly over to China and you’ll get a job that week starting at an absolute minimum of $12 if you fuck up the interview and dress like a homeless person.
Last I checked, Saudi Arabia (and some provinces in China) was paying $6,000 US a month for English teachers.
that’s the easiest, but there are plenty of other jobs you can do.
there are too many jobs to list, you can write articles if you’re good at writing, you can get free it certifications and work as an SEO optimizer, you can literally pick berries and work seasonally in some countries.
I knew a Spanish couple who are just trying to choose a country and they just moved to whichever place had berry picking work that year, worked a couple days a week.
If I know your interests, talents or proficiencies I can suggest more specific jobs in that field, but again, you only need to make five grand a year to live very comfortably, and you only need a couple grand to live in a dorm and eat good food everyday.
If you have those savings you’re talking about, you have a minimum of 5 years to figure out a way to make $5,000 bucks a year to maintain your standard of living, although you’ll probably save money the longer you travel.
I’m definitely a jack of all trades, but I have a bachelor’s in IT and like 10 years of work experience.
I feel like the competition is pretty high for people in that category though, but I could probably handle a couple hours a week of berry picking and English teaching.
yup yup.
any bullshit part-time job in IT will more than fund your lifestyle indefinitely.
get a job you like? even better. and you have 5 years to find that job that can pay you 10% of the US salary and you’ll still save $1,000 a month without trying.
and you can always try out other jobs just for fun since you don’t have the unrelenting financial pressure of the US ripping dollar bills out of your account everyday
oh!
I’ve got a great one.
are you tall?
China still hires tall foreigners to wear suits to walk around buildings and pretend they’re advisors.
so you dress up in a doctor’s coat and pose with a hospital administrator for a photo op, maybe give a prewritten speech at a textile conference, they’ll pay you to do that, more money and work. the taller you are hahaha.
anyway, you’re all set.
find any job that pays you $1 to $2,000 a month, sell all your shit and fly to whatever country.
shoot and you’re at the end of this year too, so if you leave before the end of January next year, and stay out the rest of the year, you’ll be able to use the feie for your 2025 taxes.
go ahead and show me any other questions if you think of them
Yeah I’m 6’1 but I’m native American so I don’t think I will fit into their thing cuz they tend to prefer white guys
prefer, yes, but especially for the walking around job they’ll take anybody tall.
their prejudices are real flexible in that regard.

Does project 2025 get rid of the IRS? If so, how would this be enforced?
No, this is a legal and very straightforward IRS procedure corresponding to physical presence in the United States.
it’s called the feie, Foreign earned income exclusion act.
you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you’re doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren’t in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don’t have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it’s a little over 125k this year).
that’s it.
But someone would still have to pay taxes on income earned in the US (such as through online work, and work that generates tax forms that get sent), even though they live in a foreign country?
not if you are earning that money while you are outside of the country.
so if you do remote work for a US company that pays money to your us Bank account but you are outside of the country for 330 days, then you don’t pay taxes on the first 125k of your income that year.
here’s how the IRS explains it:
“The source of your earned income is the place where you perform the services for which you receive the income. Foreign earned income is income you receive for performing personal services in a foreign country. Where or how you are paid has no effect on the source of the income. For example, income you receive for work done in France is income from a foreign source even if the income is paid directly to your bank account in the United States and your employer is in New York City.”
Great question!

Sorry for the link but it’s the first one I found to the Python sketch.
No apologies necessary, thanks for the clip.
These posts are always so funny to me, because it implies you were completely happy with what the US has been funding for at least a year but now you want to talk about tax avoidance?
“These posts are always…”
show me.
I haven’t seen any other posts about the FEIE(except for mine earlier this year).
“…it implies you were completely happy…”
not at all, in fact, the post body specifically contradicts your implication.
your “implication” is drawn entirely from your own flawed assumptions and unnecessary ignorance.
“…now you want to talk about tax avoidance?”
I’ve been talking about the feie for years, so in the future you might want to check yourself since you just wrecked yourself.
You have to admit, he really destroyed that strawman version of you though.
set his own shoelace on fire and then tied it to the scarecrow to set it ablaze.
what a coup de gras!
