“Move?!”

You make it sound like moving houses. Just pack your shit and drive off. Most countries don’t want us, especially if someone wasn’t born lucky enough to be able to go to college, and has some formal education. Even if that was easy, it’s fucking EXPENSIVE. thousands of dollars. A lot of us are barely getting by, and a lot more don’t have the luxury of spending thousands to go to another country. And all that, to move to a place where you won’t have citizenship without lots of work, and hell, If facism takes over that country I’ll get kicked out. Not to mention leaving my entire family behind.

All this assumes I’m moving to an English speaking country, otherwise I’ll have a language barrier at the same time I’m trying to rebuild my entire existence in a new place with unfamiliar culture.

There’s probably so much more. It’s not impossible, but for me it’s not feasible at this time. I desperately wish it was.

Edit: sorry if I came off as a dick here, it’s just frustrating seeing the thing I want so bad (to leave) simplified so much. Especially if you didn’t grow up here.

Lucky for him he’ll get the best medical treatment on the planet. Meanwhile if I broke a leg I’d be destitute

How many MAGA folks will ever see this? Probably very few. And most of those few will dismiss it without a second thought.

You make it sound free lol. I definitely would love to make it harder to get a license In the USA, but you have to learn, get a permit, drive with an adult for six months, pass at least one written and one driven test. Spending 5200£ is fucking ludicrous. No test should be that hard

Very professional reply here from UncleBadTouch lol

Great. Now that I finally got my 100$/mo med that I need.

I second this. I’ve been there before. I won’t lie, getting the right treatment down might take weeks, or months. But in the end, after all the work it’s so absolutely worth it.

Utilize whatever resources you have to get it done. Some states have resources for this kind of thing if you’re in the US.

 

I just can’t seriously believe how fucking stupid things are here in the US.

President Cringe-Lord and co-President Donald Cunt have done unbelievably awful things to the core of our democracy - and it feels like no one cares.

The “Free Speech” snowflake is using his power to delete anything he disagrees with on any site he can put pressure on. (Reddit, Twitter, or WH announcements)

Checking out twitter for the first time today, I saw nazis and genocide posts within seconds of opening a new feed. His influence over public discourse is insanely obvious and incredibly hateful. Yet, people are still willing to buy the merch and cut off family for the sake of the cult.

This doesn’t feel real, we can’t be this obviously ignorant. It just feels like the universe is playing a joke on me
