Depending on how much family/real estate you have, moving out of the US isn't as difficult as you might intuitively think it'd be. At least not to other english-speaking countries like Canada, the UK or Ireland. Though do keep in mind that with the UK you're hardly making your situation any better, yes on paper you get public health care and it's still worlds better than the US, but it's in such shambles you don't want to rely on it. Tories! 🥳 🤢
But even outside of that, moving to some other countries such as France or Germany depending on your language skills isn't as problematic as it was even 10 years ago any more, either. While these are still largely language dependent, a lot has internationalized in larger cities and having to rely on some english is no longer a big deal.
Canada's not doing much better mate but we're hanging in there. Til our next election I guess.
Yeah I know, Germany is swinging far stupid-right, too. It's shit everywhere, but it's still better than in the US.
The world follows the US's lead. When the US took a hard right turn after 9/11, europe slowly started following. I can't believe it has taken the US this long to rebound, (granted gerrymandering for the last 13 years has drastically slowed it). As the US rebounds, europe will too, slowly.
Are we rebounding? It feels like the downwards slide is continuing.
Sitting at the bottom I hope, waiting for shift to happen.
