Learn languages (Duolingo), change countries depending on your income type, ask ChatGPT, set up companies for yourself. There are lots of ways to do it, and many average people are doing it already in different ways.

For example for me just moving to Switzerland made both my tax percentage lower and more legal, salary much higher, and cleaner streets from those lower taxes than anywhere else I lived before. Somehow the government was able to afford professional cleaning machines from those lower taxes.

I’m not sure you understood my point. Moving continents isn’t an average person solution. In fact it exposes another problem - companies can easily register anywhere and restructure their finances for lower taxes.

Its interesting that you put so much value on clean streets? My observation is that in many European countries its very uncool to throw trash on the floor outside. People still do it, but its usually done hidden. Also people take offense when they see someone throwing trash on the street.
