One can dream! Seriously though, it’s pretty difficult to immigrate and no country wants Americans right now. That’s just reality. |

I did it.
I'm loving life in Singapore now, and never planning to return to the US. |
Just go there and start working. |
Another talker and no action. You’re making up an excuse. |

I hope you aren't a liberal complaining about Trump if you are happy living in the "competitive authoritarian regime" of Singapore. Otherwise, you are either seriously ignorant or a hypocrite. If you just like clean streets, we used to have those before your party took over our cities. |
+1 I am actually a huge fan of Singapore but try doing the protests that has roiled the U.S. since BLM and see where that gets you. An invite to the police. Singapore just announced the vetting of “undesirables” before they are allowed into the country and immigration is strictly enforced. |

I have been offered a teaching job at an international school there. How’s Singapore for someone who’s never stepped in Asia? |
It’s really great. I love Singapore. It’s very easy for someone new to live there so it’s “Asia Lite”. The only issue is that it is expensive especially for housing and schooling if you are not a local so you have to ensure your new job pays enough for that if you have kids. |
| For the people who are like, Just go! Leave, we don't want you! What's up with that? Americans outside of the USA are still Americans, must pay taxes and can vote. Why the vitriol, is it jealousy or something else? Genuinely curious. |
+1 women who have never been to other places think it's greener somewhere else |
| Move to Canada |

If it’s important to you, you make it happen.
I did it when I was in my 20s. Lived abroad for several years. Not with the intention of leaving forever, but it was a possibility. 40% sounds like big talkers. When you want something, you do it even if it’s not easy. |
| Will those 40% renounce their citizenship? If not this is all performative protest larping. |
