    Neat. I wish I could do that. I tried several years ago when I actually had some money because I saw this coming. Nobody wanted disabled people then, and less so Americans now.

    People wouldn’t listen back then, when I was called hyperbolic and alarmist, and good fucking luck leaving now. People think leaving is easy – it’s not. We’re stuck in this shit show.

    Can’t fix it, can’t leave. Going down with the ship. Fuck everyone who voted to kill me. I will not survive this administration. I’ll probably die within the year because, though I worked my ass off in IT since the 90s, I had to burn through my savings by being weak enough to get sick. *I already have to choose between food and medicine, so I mostly don’t eat. I’ll just stop buying medicine.

    So fuck me, I deserve to die now. There’s no escape. There’s no hope.

      Most Americans have absolutely no clue how involved the immigration process actually is. Unless you have specific skills, have immediate family in the country you’re going, or are loaded… 95 times out of 100 you’re not going anywhere.

      Although where there’s a will there’s a way. You get a tourist visa, overstay, marry a local.

      I’m glad I’m a dual citizen with money stashed away in both the US and the country I was born. If shit gets too bad in the US, I can lay low elsewhere while things calm down.

        Yep… and if you managed to pass the initial barriers of immigration, but have elderly parents that you’re concerned about, there’s 0 chance they’re getting into the country you were allowed into unless they’re already loaded. That’s the only way for the elderly.

      I believe in Karma.

      I think each life is a journey that brings your soul closer to godhood or further from it. I too think this admin will end my life early even though I am healthy simply because they suck that much.

      It comforts me knowing how hell awaits those who lack empathy. How their hell may be a next life like yours, full of struggle only to fail because of that which is out of your control. Just as mine would be a hell for someone like Zuckerberg or Musk. Perhaps it is needed in the grand scheme of soul growth for without pain, there is no pleasure.

      I hope your next lives are more comforting and pleasant and that you can find peace and even happiness somehow in these coming days.

      My heart goes out to you.
