Lol imagine having enough money to buy/build a house and not just leaving this bullshit country and starting over.

"Enough money to buy/build a house" usually means "enough credit history to borrow enough money to buy/build a house" in the US (and most developed countries I would guess...).

There's not really a good way of borrowing enough cash to gently caress off to another country.

Sometimes things suck but in a different way that is less harmful to you personally, or to a somewhat different extent.

what im saying is sucking is like pokemons, and sometimes you have a chance to trade the sucks around until you find the one that is right for you

Americans talking about moving to a smaller nation for the sole benefit of their personal profit from it doesn’t sit well with me for some reason.

I ain’t ever leaving the gladiator arena that is America. They bred me, they get to deal with me.

Maybe it's because America started as and is still heavily advertised as the country where people went to Make It Work. Like, Europeans moved there because life in Europe was so lovely, and killed a bunch of Natives and brought a lot of slaves. It feels weird when a few generations later, everybody is like "Welp, that didn't work out."

People often point to Emma Lazarus’s 1883 poem about "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" at the base of the Statue of Liberty but seem to forget that in 1882 the US enacted the Immigration Act which pretty much made pregnant/single women, the disabled, the sick, and the poor inadmissible for immigration and allowed the US to deport any new immigrants who couldn't support themselves, and they also enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act which just straight up went "No Chinese allowed!"

1880s Uncle Sam was not a fan of Chinese immigrants.


The Trump administration also hated that poem, LOL

quote:

In 2019, during the Trump administration, Ken Cuccinelli, whom Trump appointed as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, revised a line from the poem in support of the administration's "public charge rule" to reject applicants for visas or green cards on the basis of income and education. Cuccinelli added the caveat "Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge"; later suggested that the "huddled masses" were European; and downplayed the poem as it was "not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty."

The worst are those who go to countries like the Gulf states where you can hire immigrant house maids who have no rights whatsoever and then the rich immigrants do their best to figure out how to exploit the poor immigrants to the fullest.
