"Everyone is at each others throats" is some delightful both-sidesing.
These rich "common sense" centrists really have no idea.
It is nice to be so Rich & a immigrant to The USA, so that you can just leave. I been trying to live in Denmark, for decades!
Via con dios. I'm a blue collar paycheck to paycheck schlub. I have to stay. I have to survive. In the end I will bring a strong back and a shovel to clean up the mess.
It's funny, reading your sad little statement while thinking about the countless immigrants who left everything to start a new life in America, back before the fascists took control. We really are a sad little nation now, in more ways than one.
I'm telling you that I don't want to be involved in a conflict beyond my control but I'm willing to stay and work for a better life on the other side of the violence, and you're saying that it's a sad statement compared to the immigrants who left their violent countries to pursue a better life in a country with no war?
Can you understand your mistake here? I'm not leaving. I want to survive and use my skills to rebuild what I can after the 2-digit IQ war is over. I'm sad because I'm volunteering to clean up the mess?
He is feeling sad for you, and wishes a happier life, for you...
now the reverse is happening, only for people who can MOVE. like scientists and rich people.
Whenever I see people telling American to just leave the US, I always think "so I have to be rich to move to a new country? And I'm supposed to be a problem?" It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get just the application. It's extremely privileged to assume everyone can do that.
Back during W Bush second term, I looked at migration to just Canada. It was several thousands of dollars for the application, need to have employment shortly after moving there or before then. Now it's harder to do so.
THE PROBLEM is finding employment, i assume most people already had that set up prior to landing canada. its more likely if you are planning to go to "school" there , or have a in-demand job that canada needs filling.
rich or have a Phd in stem that is niche, same goes for MDs in a in-demand specialty.
Must be nice to have the ability to do it.
He is literally not American
Yes I’m aware.
There are relatively easy paths out. If you're young enough, Canada offers a working holiday visa program
I was able to save enough and do it while working as a line cook. The most expensive part is physically moving
We should be celebrating other people leaving. It hurts the regime.
No wonder why he left.
ITT: People mad that Canadian celebrity won't stay in the US and fix it.
I'm surprised people here aren't mad that Hayao Miyazaki rarely visited the US since Bush II.
ITT: People who don't know that most immigrants around the world are in fact poor people
Must be nice to be so rich you can just decide to leave.
Exactly, in the article he sees the problem but instead of using his money to help he fucks off to be safe. He may not be an asshole but he's a a bit cowardish for it I feel even if he can still help from NZ it's more likely he will just focus on his life there than try to put out the gordian garbage fire that is the US
Why does a canadian have an obligation to help the US?
He owns more wealth, property, and control of businesses in the US than well over 99% of Americans.
"At each other's throats?" 30% of the country is behaving like Nazis, others are calling them on it, and a disturbing percentage are silent. Yes I suppose more people could be silent to help preserve his feelings.
He has the money and platform to speak out. Instead he leaves.
He can still speak out just as well
Money is also the #1 thing this adminitration cares about. Cameron taking him money, businesses, and most importantly tax dollars to NZ and Canada instead is the most impactful individual action he could do
Yes take what you could and get out while it’s bad. Fuck off then.
Could'a helped with his hundreds of millions of dollars instead of making Unreal Engine's Smurfs and the Chamber Of White Saviours for the past twenty fucking years.
