What country would you move to for the next 20-30 years (assume visa isn’t an issue)? Two kids in two, including one going to college in 4 years. Both highly educated looking for highish income jobs.
Where would you live? Where would you want your kids to go to university?

Most EU/Canada - economy not as robust, lower salaries, could be fine

Middle East - high salaries, high standard of living, no political freedoms

SE Asia - fast growing, interesting opportunities but also authoritarianish (Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia come to mind)

I realize these are regions and big differences are exist between say Germany and Portugal



If you aren’t already a dual citizen or married to a citizen of another country, and you haven’t started to move, you’re going to have a very hard going to another country. No one is going to let us in. There are too many of us, and we were jerks m


Is it true though? Many countries offer nomads visas and many Americans move to Portugal, Spain and other countries

That's hilarious. Hate America, but can't go to Europe because America might not defend you anymore.

You pay out of pocket. It is cheaper than any premium here. No plan needed. Our last ER for broken hand was $120. A kid's allergic reaction to a cat and 4 hour stay was $40, and our baby's fever and ambulance coming out was free. They didn't even ask if the kid had insurance. They come out really fast for children.
For eldercare there's social services, neighbors, retirement homes, and you can always hire someone part time for 500 euros.

Which country?

Trump released a bunch of Taliban fighters, so yea, I'm sure he added to that paradise.


In the end, Biden was responsible for the dumpster fire of the abrupt and reckless withdrawal crushing the hopes and dreams of thousands upon thousands of Afghanistan women and children.


No, dumpy made us leave

Already lived in EU - no thanks. Nice to visit, though. The only country I would consider is Canada. But how would one go about getting green card or citizenship? I haven’t looked into it.

Also we find your support for genocide disgusting (and yes we are well aware that our US puppet governments didn’t do anything). Please just stay in the US. The world doesn’t want you.


Are you also sick and tired of 90 percent of your country being poorly paid South Asians who scrub your toilets and wait on your fat asses?

So ... a terrorized American considering the Middle East or SE Asia? What? Frying pan into fire?


Yep. Navel gazing as usual

You mean he was responsible for executing the Trump Plan for abandoning Afghanistan? Yes, he was.
