It depends on the country, but many are just time based. We moved by getting work and education visas and are renewing them until we can apply for residency, then citizenship. Luckily we’ve been planning this for over a decade and we had managed to save up and plan… I’ve personally seen several people try to do the same and had to return to the US for financial reasons. It’s heartbreaking.
Nah so he can prosecute people crossing state lines for abortion
I dunno, Thomas is still there, and I’m sure he wouldn’t be with their iron clad ethics guidelines, right?
I mean they don’t deny it. Here’s some of their representatives’ Christmas cards: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/christmas-card-guns-lauren-boebert-thomas-massie-start-new-culture-ncna1285709
I’d settle for inventory sorting
No you indict a ham sandwich, you convict criminals.
You guys only got one isolated revolt last time, and remarkably anyone who had a gun illegally didn’t fire it, and anyone who had them legally didn’t fire until it was the last option. Hopefully it won’t get out of hand if he loses again, and I feel a whole lot better that someone stable is in charge for the lead up to a potential transfer of power this time.
All that said, I don’t have high hopes. Bo Burnham said it best: how is the best case scenario Joe Biden
The people don’t need to be taken seriously, the issue does. Arguing over semantics isn’t helpful unless it’s “Legislating against assault rifles won’t do anything because that’s not a thing. We need to …” And the words after the ellipsis can’t be “…do nothing.”
If anything good can come out of tragedy like this, maybe it can be better mental health awareness/action.
We already did, to New Zealand. Education visa to get a PhD my partner had been eager to get, followed by work visa and/or resident visa. Few more years and then permanent resident then citizenship.
We’d been saving up/planning for a decade because we wanted to leave anyway, the environment that gave us Trump only encouraged us to leave. Years later and I’m still 100% convinced we made the right choice for us.
I suggest finding a culture that fits yours, making a very detailed budget, exploring all the options for visas and plan for future visa extensions/applications, and making some sacrifices to get where you want to be.
Lots of EU countries have generous options if you have lineage, I’d start with that as getting into one of them gets you into all of them eventually.
