    How more Americans aren’t calling it quits and emigrating literally anywhere I’ll never know. Your country is being taken from you in plain sight with barely a whimper.

      every comment section with just the most ignorant opinion about Americans from someone on the sidelines

        it’s always a comment that seems to believe the answer is so simple as well. as if it was obvious.

        but you know if they were in that situation they’d see their own type of comment for what it really is. some hot air.

      It takes time to plan leaving the country. A lot of people like me are leaving we just haven’t gotten there yet because of how long it takes getting everything lined up

      Of my entire friend and family group I’m the only one who can afford to leave. Moving is not cheap and I think it’s like 1/3 of Americans are paycheck to paycheck

      It’s also more than just financially difficult to move countries. Most places require you to have a valued skill set. Many places deny neurodivergent people. This means a lot of the people who need to leave the most can’t land somewhere even if they could afford to flip their life upside down

      A.) I’m broke B.) I don’t have a college degree - See A. C.) The job market sucks literally everywhere - See A. D.) I’m on the Autism spectrum - See A. E.) My wife cannot have children F.) My wife doesn’t have a degree - See A.

      Get the picture? I’m not even appealing to my own country, why would anyone else want me?
