          prolly better to be broke and homeless in Prague than broke and homeless anywhere in the US, regardless of support network

      Lol me and my partner are on the same boat. We “qualify” for residency but we just don’t have the money to move. Its frustrating as hell.

    for every year that passes where we become more dependent on a for-profit healthcare system, the less likely it seems like we could even get out of it. or that the people in power would ever allow it to happen
