it’s SO weird to be someone who grew up in America and has now spent about 25 years back home. i cannot understate the powerful effect of the mindset of “being an American”.
here’s the thing. one might say something like, “well get one and move!” just like they’d say to a tesla owner, “if you don’t want your car defaced, then just get rid of it!”
i’m not defending tesla. nothing burns brighter than an T. as in “time to leave”.
but you can’t just up and swap countries or cars every four years, right? there’s a word for that, but half the country refuses to hear it… it’s unsustainable.
none of what i just wrote is directed at you personally. i personally have a spare bedroom in Canada that you’re welcome to inhabit (barring obvious vets).

One of the biggest troubles of being a US citizen is the conservatives will happily tell you “If you don’t like it, leave!”
Not being a conservative, I know my associates degree self is not gonna be terribly welcome to vast majority of the countries.
It’s not hard at all. -If one has a PhD in the hard-sciences and at least $500,000.00 in savings prior to turning 30yo
