Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.
…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?
I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.
Just in case that happens, don’t hesitate a second, don’t feed your flawed system a single dime, but buy tickets to a decent country with your nose and get affordable healthcare in one of the hundred+ countries you can visit visa-free. Returning is optional.
Signed: a dude in his mid-thirties that writes code, has lost the ability to use his hands for months twice so far and genuinely worries about holders of one of the most travel-suited passports seemingly being brainwashed into thinking they’re chained to freedomland or something.
Have you actually done what you’re suggesting? Because my understanding is that it is incredibly difficult to immigrate with a disability, even if you have useful skills. Profoundly more so if your disability has made you unable to work.
Without going into much details: yes, but it seems like you’re speaking of a permanent disability, while I had temporary disability in mind when I was writing that. A permanent one would require changing careers and a chunk of a lifestyle so large that emigration is peanuts in comparison.
Ha, thank you. Fortunately for me, I’m a dual citizen, with family happy to have me anytime. I suspect that day will come, though I really , really love the life and community I’ve built where I am and will be devastated to leave it.
I wish you many years of good health, friend!
