Very likely this case is decided this week

      The American diaspora is going to be such a funny phenomenon. Half will leave the country due to violent discrimination, and half will be boomer retirees frustrated by the increasing lack of treats and comforts.

        true. I doubt it's going to be any appreciable number of people though, given how hard it is to immigrate to places any better than the US

      my clown ass got a degree that's worthless outside this country, don't know how i could swing it. I live in a lib state that voted for Bernie in the primary, so hoping that we'll be okay if the federal govt collapses

        :sadness-abysmal:

        that sucks, there are only like a handful of degrees that make it easy to leave unfortunately.

            I switched to Computer Science myself so I can leave the country after my degree, it's probably the best one:

            1. great pay

            2. no certifications, so it's not like medicine or whatever what you'd have to train all over again/get re-certified in the new country

            3. practically every country has a shortage in IT work and it generally makes immigration easier

            4. English is the working language in a lot of countries in tech, so you won't necessarily need to learn a new language immediately

            apart from that - medicine, engineering, the trades maybe

      I am really seriously considering it in a way I never have before. I just need substantially more money. Should be easy enough to bootstrap my way out!

      I am making contingency plans. Duel citizenship is a good goal if it’s possible. I will stay here and organize assistance until my other option is death.

      i have hopes to but unless i can swing taking my trade with me which i highly doubt, i feel like my only hope is balkanization. I also hate that it feels like most other places would be a downgrade in trans healthcare/rights from my state.
