Come to europe. The pay might be worse, but your benefits will be better. I would recommend germany but that is only my bias as a citizen. Maybe could visit some major cities and choose what fits you best. Language will not be a huge issue (alteast where i live), i personally know people who get by here by only speaking english.

We must build a wall around Europe, so that Americans can't come here. When America sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing guns. They’re bringing GMC trucks. They’re racists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Can I bring just a little one? A taste? Just as a sometimes treat!

It is not that easy. Unless you have a very in demand skill US citizen cannot simply move to any EU country.

You're too kind and thank you, here's actual future footage of me moving to Europe (or new Zealand):

Probably lots of places have record leaving numbers. We have record-high population.

Your country doesn't want us, unless they're going to take political asylum seekers while maintaining 38 of our military installations there. I don't guess that's in the cards.

I mean you are right i that i do not know how hard it is to come here. I guess you would need a job offer and some work visa? I just know that we need loads of working people. It is easier if you are persecuted, but that also makes sense, right? So political asylum seekers are taken but are you one?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The US doesn't have a problem that would qualify people for Asylum yet. But man is it going to be wild when hundreds of thousands of Americans are fleeing the Christian Taliban.

[–] LowleeKun@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

Let us hope that i does not come to that even if it might feel too optimistic.

Unless you're Russia, running away with a bunch of secret documents doesn't qualify you for asylum. And I'm not sure anyone is looking to get out of a dangerous country and into the war in Ukraine. At that point I think they'd just go volunteer with Ukraine.

Conclusion from your reply:

Running away with USA mass surveilance classified documents: no asylum

Running away with Roscomnadzor mass surveilance classified documents: yes asylum

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, I forgot, also with war crimes classified documents

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Lmao the point is the US and Russia will always take defectors in from the other country.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 4 months ago

Lol! You can't read my mind?

Sorry, I was thinking about the current political climate, recent political developments and how that may change. As someone else mentioned, unless you're in a few specific fields of employment, it's not happening.
