I quit. American politics are a circus sideshow full of dancing turds. At this point, let it burn. The side that I vote for won’t even stand up against this shit, so what good is my vote now?

Just a bunch of rich assholes doing whatever they want.

Come to Europe. We got ice cream and free healthcare. Also you don’t need a gun to protect yourself when going out for a walk.

I think those of us who want to leave cant..

I mean I KNOW I'm fucked, I'd save my wife...but who would accept us? Likely not one single European nation.

I'm disabled and autistic with no work history but menial jobs that I couldn't do for more than a year before massive burnout. I'm sure that some country somewhere would want me, right? I can play the guitar for a few minutes before my messed up hands hurt too much.

Kinda ready for the extermination camps, tbh.

All of them will if you have a million in the bank... If not then its a long hard road.

[–] littlebrother@lemm.ee 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly...I'm not rich.

So we're fucked.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t need to be exactly rich.

What are the obstacles to taking this step? Is it only a financial matter? What is you and your wife’s profession? You can pm me if you want to.

[–] littlebrother@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Unfortunately internet stranger. I cannot divulge my information, my wife's a tech teacher and I'm screwed. It's about it.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

You could be a houseman. We have a lot tech jobs in Germany and not enough good personnel.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That’s not exactly true. There are countries who welcome you if you have like some useful skills.

I'm a middle school teacher and my partner builds houses. What country in Europe will take us? It's a nice thought, but no one will accept us.

[–] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 minutes ago

Albania. It's nice here. There's a construction worker shortage, and no shortage of jobs for teachers that speak English. You can even show up and hang out for up to a year with no visa.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Teachers and construction workers are always welcome. The teaching part could be a problem because of the language and licenses, but maybe a state were English is a more common language.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

A little closer than Europe, Canada needs both. Depending on age and some other factors it shouldn't be too hard, tho it is not easy. Just don't choose Quebec or New Brunswick if you don't speak french
