This is really sad

[Gizmo1137]

Sadly this is what tens of millions of Americans wanted.

An unfortunate truth and now many of them are scratching their heads and questioning their choice.

Wishful thinking. The reality distortion field is still at full strength.

Well, glad we lived when we did and we got to see and enjoy many places in the US. We also discovered there are even way nicer places in other countries too. And we have come to prefer places where there is diversity of cultures and where people don't all look and think the same. And you may have noticed US insurance policies recently added nuclear fallout exclusions.

One can pretty much easily live in most countries for up 90 days. So if you rotate between 3 or 4 countries, you can completely avoid having to live in the US. You can essentially become a citizen of the world. And if you no longer live in the US, you can renouce US citizenship too, stop paying US taxes and still receive your US social security payments (it is your money after all)...well, at least until all this program's funding is diverted someplace else bankrupting it. So there's zero reason to get frustrated. Just work the problem to maximize your happiness and safeguard your assets. Just say'in...

You could not be more wrong.

If only I could. I would lose my military and I think federal civil service pensions.

Most businesses in this country have been running extremely understaffed for 3-4 years so a few cuts should not affect the way state parks are run. You can spin it any way you want though which is what the media always does on both sides.

Now that is indeed sad....sorry. I suspect the military may have difficulty attracting volunteers in the not too distant future. So maybe the draft system will be returning too.

The family living across the alley from us is Japanese, my neighbor on one side emigrated from Cambodia and was in a Khmer Rouge prison there in the 70's, the neighbor on the other side is from New York, across the street is an Indian family, a Latino family, a family from Thailand and one from Vietnam.
Not sure what cave in America you've been living in. You should get out more.

We applaud your appreciation of diversity, equality and inclusion and we are very happy for you. Not many have that depth of understanding and empathy.

Thanks, I applaud your leaving America in search of DEI. You'll be missed.
