While I know most Americans feel that way it isn’t true.
Migrants, refugees, immigrants… These words apply to white Americans as much as they do to brown central Americans or darker Africans. When you’re wealthy you become an expat.
A expat can pack up their stuff, fly somewhere else, get residency and citizenship based on investment, and that’s it. Very easy in the 2010’s.
If you don’t have the money for it, you can still go but you’re going to be limited where you can go fully legally. You may have to illegally work to get to a “desirable” location.
But most people who are in the USA came because of relatives that left everything behind except 1 trunk/suitcase and went for it. It is not easy. But it is possible.
To say you just can’t because it’s expensive is the lazy way out. You can’t do it comfortably and easily if you’re poor. But you can walk across the Mexican border, 2000 miles walk, just like others do in reverse. You just choose not to.
For Americans and Canadians on a budget, southeast Asia is a great place. Easy cheap visas and lots of countries to do border runs if you need. You can cheaply buy residency in many of them.
You escape BEFORE the regime change. You do not wait to escape.
It was evident that this was the path the US chose in 2008 election vitriol and then 2012 with the tea party. Then in 2016 Trump, it was as blatant as can be. You’ve had 8 years to plan and leave. You now have 6 months.
Make sure you have a passport. You should have been trying to obtain secondary citizenship. Even with all the money and education, you are only allowed to stay in a foreign country on a residency visa. Americans call theirs a green card for example. It is tied to your passport. When your passport expires, OR IS CANCELLED, then all the visas tied to it are also affected. In some places you can stay as you transfer your visa to your new passport. Some places you cannot, you must exit and re-enter. If your passport is invalid, you can only exit back to the USA if you are only American. The cancelled part is the scary part because the USA already does this. If you don’t pay your taxes, or child support or if you have a warrant or even probable cause against you the US will cancel your passport. It’s the easiest way to force Americans back home for prosecution.
Your #1 goal should be starting to obtain citizenship elsewhere. If you have grandparents from Europe, see if you can get it. You have relatives in Canada, mayve you can get it. If you can’t, then start looking to buy citizenship or residency with a path to citizenship. This is 6 figures and can be instant like Vanuatu or take years like most of Europe. But again, better to start now.
As the Chinese routinely say, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time, is now.
The US is vast and it’s unlikely to devolve into anarchy. It may get very violent and bloody or it may become more like a governmental issue where you just get locked up if you’re bad. In that case storing some of your stuff in a storage area isn’t too risky. If it goes into anarchy, then it’ll be lost. Otherwise just keep paying and avoid.
I believe we’re looking right at 1930’s Germany. The parallels are uncanny. Those who survived, left. Those that waited until they were being rounded up to leave, mostly did not make it. And they lost everything they had and their families ever had.
I completed my move out 4 years ago now. I can now eat popcorn and watch the US implode from the other side of the world. I will lose some money, some possessions, and unimportant things. But my keepsakes and most of my assets are now free of the US.
Many telecom operators have a special code that is used for recording. When you’re making a call, you or the other party may press the record button. This will save both the input via microphone and the output via the speakers as one audio file for future use. When you press this button a special code is sent back to the telecom.
Until recently most places in the USA did not do anything with this code. But now it’s catching up to the rest of the world. Once this is pressed, a voice will tell both parties that they are being recorded in the recording. This is so that you can’t later say “I didn’t know they were recording me!” and if you have every-party consent laws, then that recording is illegal so it cannot be used as evidence and the person recording could actually be charged with a crime.
You can start the recording with an accidental face press, pocket press, keypad entry, or a malicious app. If either of you accidentally started it, then there’s your answer. If neither of you did, then most likely one of you is infected or one of you were connected to a relay tower decrypting your calls and then passing them through to a real tower. Whoever was operating this relay station was a n00b idiot though. Both are concerning.
Is this really the first release of the series? Wow. I capture card recorded that in the 2000’s off the TV and it sits in my library. Have watched a few episodes by my adult self and some with younger relatives.
What I have learned is that 90s animated comedies are not as whizz bang fast action packed as these shitty new shows. So it doesn’t hold the attention of the younger ones.
Only exception so far has been Animaniacs. The youngin’s request that show.
A fence of a few Canadian Geese is all you need.
I have no idea what you’re saying your goal is. You have a GED. You no longer get a diploma. Sure there may not be a rule saying you can’t be Rodney Dangerfield or Billy Madison, but you gain nothing. A GED is a high school diploma equivalent in the USA and is acceptable in other countries too.
Your next step is community college. Or taking the ACT and SAT and applying to a 4 year university with your GED. Wasting time getting the equivalent of the equivalent gets you nowhere unless you have some very specific and weird requirement.
It gets you community college which gets you to university. It also gets you to the category of “highschool diploma or GED” for maximum level of education which can be huge for many jobs. Many even receptionist jobs have that as a requirement.
You’re not at a destination. You just reached a higher rung on the ladder. Keep going if you want more.
The GED is essentially a participation trophy when you compare American education globally to other developed nations.
The curriculum and difficulty of the school you went to is variable. That’s why in the USA there are “good schools” and “bad schools”. One of the best things to learn is how to learn and how to teach yourself. That makes the teacher’s mostly irrelevant as well and is what’s needed in real life because you won’t have a senior huddled over you 24/7 telling you what to do in any position that pays well. That’s why it pays well.
Congratulations on your GED, it unlocks many opportunities. If your career path can benefit from higher education, there are good options online today.
It was mentioned, father is dead. He was born during the rule period for babies from 1952 to 1986. You only got US citizenship to an American parent if the parent lived in the USA for 10 years BEFORE the child was born. Otherwise, it doesn’t count. Or of course child born in the USA. But this guy was born in Canada. He missed the window to apply for citizenship before he was 18.
So he doesn’t get it. That simple.
What he’s trying to do is prove his dad lived in the US for 10 years before he was born, but that’s difficult to do with a dead parent as those are not records that are usually kept. For example how many paystubs do you have of your grandparents from the 1940’s? None most likely.
They never passed previous tests of citizenship. They just claimed to be a citizen and the different US systems weren’t linked so he was never caught. Now they are linked. And he was caught.
Hopefully not all at one time. You’d need a lot of OJ to recover. /s
Congratulations on being a good human. Society applauds you.
Always carry one with me in my big bag.
Great. Let’s keep going world! Get rid of these Bald Eagle Terrorists stealing land all over the world and bombing anyone not white.
Do not take anyone that buys a mac seriously. In any way.
32GB has been my minimum laptop memory for YEARS now. My current laptop was 64GB from the factory and 2 years later I made it 128GB. Nice socketed ECC RAM. If the RAM or SSD is soldered on a laptop, I’m not buying it.
Fascists will fascist. The US is no different than China to anyone paying attention. Except your people get none of the benefits that the Chinese do like modern and clean cities and infrastructure, lower cost of living, low crime, etc.
One of the best. He needs to win.
Directly from many venues. And some ticket sellers that aren’t owned by them. Some smaller venues use them, and some artsier places.
But for the mega concerts, I just don’t go where Ticketmaster holds the venue contract. I fly and see who I want elsewhere.
Superhero movies are worthless drivel. I love cinema, go every week generally. I’ve stopped watching any of these stupid superhero action movies. I just don’t care. They are poorly done, stories are wildly dull, and they don’t deserve my money.
I’m lucky to be able to go to films from all regions of the world played on the big screen major cinema. The stuff being cranked out by Bollywood is far superior. The dramas, the action, the comedy, all better. Even their superhero movies are equally meh.
