  I’m more of a Van Gogh, misunderstood until after his time.

  An hour to six days is bad. There must be some kind of data ingestion and pipeline involved. Reading a database and generating a formatted xlsx file can be a few seconds to minutes.

  An OpenXML library could modify and write to a new file without Excel. Microsoft’s version is usually for C#, there are similar libraries in other programming languages if your computer is locked down. If Excel gives a corrupted error when opening, the XML data can be viewed by renaming the xlsx extension to zip.

  Many countries have entrepreneurship or innovation visas. Australia has subclass 188 visa. Canada, Japan and Korea all have a startup visa. UK has an innovator founder visa. Netherlands has DAFT visa. Thailand and USA have Amity Treaty which allows US citizens to own a business outright in a Thailand, which can be used to obtain business visa and work permit.

  Spain and Portugal have digital nomad visas that can lead to permanent residency. France has a visitor visa for up to 1 year working for foreign employers.

  Other countries to consider are: Ireland and Belgium.

  Without any of those there is moving from country to country every 90 days as a digital nomad, or until you get A2 level in language and find sponsorship, start a business, or attend a university.

  Owning land is better to store wealth, but gold is better when fleeing to wherever land ownership is still enforced.

  I see it a lot with AskReddit, surveying (or possibly influencing) how people feel when something happened in the news. Those posts get bumped to the front page.
