    Good luck emigrating unless you can afford those countries that let you buy residency.

    Props to anyone who has successfully moved to another country because eegads that is not an easy or quick process.

      One of my colleagues is a British man who just gained his US citizenship in 2021. He’s been here since 2007 on a marriage visa. And prior to that, he has described the immigration process as “arduous.”

      And getting married is apparently the easy way to get in.

    I’ve thought about it; but with a wife and two kids it would be difficult if not impossible to pick up and move somewhere else and start all over.

    A few years ago I had to get picked up by an ambulance, and got to pay $500 for the privilege.

    That was the cost with insurance, and my job actually has pretty good insurance…

      Every time Americans are assigned a Republican president, the amount of Americans entitled to seek asylum elsewhere ticks up again.
