I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs, terror for winning the war on terror, and disease for winning the war on disease. We've truly outdone ourselves this time. What an impressive lineup. A round of applause, ladies and gentlemen.
How Americans aren't leaving in droves I'll never know. Absolute shithole dystopia.
Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to move.
What country would take us?!
Exactly. It not just about cost but availability too. Anywhere worth living is going to have strict immigration requirements.
I suspect that the standard for "worth living" is going to decline very much very fast, but yes.
Moving doesn't cost more than a flight ticket, the question is more if you find a job in the new location. Just, if the US is really in such a bad shape as it appears, it might actually be easier to find a decent job somewhere else. Lots of countries around here are desperately looking for labor.
May I ask what is your profession?
What's about all the down votes? Is it bad to offer advise, or did I express myself poorly, due to not being native speaker???

tiktoker
That sounds pretty location independent
What queer-friendly country would be willing to take in an impoverished disabled person with PTSD?
Canada.
You know how refugees and asylum seekers have to make insanely dangerous journeys in order to reach places where they can actually survive? Yeah turns out that's not because there's a plethora of options to choose from.
I can't afford to leave
Is that what your ancestors said when the immigrated to the US? Nah
I don't understand your point
Where would I go? Who would take me?
Mexico and Canada are both pretty close.
The Americas are not the E.U. You have to be approved to immigrate to Canada & Mexico unless you want to over stay a visa. In spite of my love pre-contact indigenous history of Meso-america my Spanish is garbage. I don't qualify for refugee status.
The US is a fascist country that is kidnapping people. You might, indeed, qualify for refugee status.
The qualifying part is just factually wrong. The other part is up to a new host country to decide. I haven't heard any opening the door to throngs of Americans.
Under international law, no. That is not how it works.
There's a lot of politics that go into who recohnises a country as bad enough to flee from. With what a giant threat the US is, other countries won't risk taking its citizens as refugees any time soon.
That's not how it works. Under international law, the country can't eject someone who is seeking asylum
That doesn't have anything to do with what I said. People fleeing the US will not be granted asylum in any country of the world due to what I said. They can apply for it alright, just won't do them any good and they'll be sent right back.
the ones that can often are. it's not particularly easy.
You offering your couch and sponsorship?
Nobody want us. Immigration is very difficult. You have to be rich or have some sort of unusual leverage (like skills that are in demand).
We are.
My friends who didn't leave yet are at least in the research phases: applying for visas, or contacting grandparents and collecting documents to facilitate getting citizenship in other countries
What's the over under on Smith doing this in Alberta within a year?
Can we just build a wall around Florida and let the ocean fuckin take it?
What did South America do to deserve that?
I said let the ocean take it swallow it up and all. Make if the fakelantis for all I care.
This kills the populace
"Yeah, but only the weak ones...."
I was hanging out on some conservative forums when the news came out and almost universally people were pissed saying it's an overreaction to what they call the "overreach during COVID." And I'm sitting there reading these comments and thinking to myself that these people are so anti Democrat and anti "woke" that they seemingly have selectively forgotten that this is exactly what people were warning them about. They were legitimately surprised that this has happened and were in denial that this administration would do something like this.
These are the people that we are up against. They are ignorant and so angry at Democrats that they will literally forget that they were warned about this exact scenario. And the reason I bring this up is because they are ignorant, but they are not universally stupid and can actually think for themselves when given the chance. And we should use opportunities like this to educate them instead of saying "haha you get what you voted for."
Headline: Florida man identifies as petri dish
Should we pay teachers enough to live?
Nah, lets spend our time infecting kids with unnecessary diseases.
-- Florida politicians, probably.
(The future is dumb)
The present is pretty fucking wack also.
Not the school shots I would assume they would tackle.
If humanity wants to live on another world, we will first have to terraform it to suit our biology.
Likewise, in order to spread, brain worms would need to find a suitable host to terraform the rest of the species they want to inhabit. They should encourage unhealthy behavior, sow distrust in science, and be in a position of authority.
Hypothesis: RFK Jr died years ago, and is being controlled like an undead meat puppet by brain worms looking to conquer earth.
I stand with polio infections /s
Is any else worried a form of bacteria has figured out mind control and has infiltrated our government to weaken it for its world domination plans?
It's the lizard people. They're immune to our diseases.
Humans yielding power to bacteria is quite noble
Yet another conservative trying to rewrite the history of slavery.
"Ladapo exclaimed, "Every last one [mandate] is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery."
Yeah I remember Harriet Tubman railing against the tyranny of the MMR vaccine.
God where do they find these absolute fucking morons
