Would say all you American folk are welcome to come to London, but it would be cruel to invite anyone into this Brexit limbo.

Here are some alternatives.


Estonia
Pros
Good internet
Cyber citizenship
https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/about/
Old architecture

Cons
Who knows any Estonian culture?

New Zealand
Pros
Weather
Scenery
Lord of the Rings

Cons
Weta bugs may eat you alive in your sleep
Limited career opportunities

Finland
Pros
Not Trump for president

Cons
Finnish is an impossible language
Cold

    This. I'm in a position where what he does will have little impact on my life directly, thus I am in a great position to help others who are impacted. I totally understand people wanting to flee if they legitimately think life will get worse for them (and it probably will), but I have no reason to. So I will do my utmost to make sure things don't get worse.

    I've seriously looked at Australia (Sydney) and Germany. Like, lined up jobs seriously.

    Palm trees.

    It's not happening, though.

    My dad's grandfather was Latvian so we tried to get EU citizenship that way some number of years ago. We don't qualify because Latvia was Russian controlled at the time of my great-grandfather's departure. We could get Russian citizenship, but how much better is that anyway?

    I know if Brexit tries to fuck with me Vitamin D supplement prices, I have 2 outs. Barbados/ Spain.

    Can't really put a price on a lifetime supply of vit D.

    Check the projections. He would have to win FL, NV, OH AND flip one of hers.

    The sense of unease I get thinking how a Trump presidency could allow me to be discriminated against because of something I was born as is unreal and shocking. I was naive to move here with Obama as the president thinking that there would always be progress. I have seriously considered moving to somewhere in the EU as I have citizenship there.

    Australia or Spain. We would prefer Australia but I have friends in Spain who would help with the move.

    If Trump wins according to a few family friends in the US, their position is that - "nothing new will happen in the US, we'll just have an embarrassing leader, all major decisions have to pass both houses and everything that Trump is promising is stupid."

    Not well enough to decide if this is true.

    Can't you just move offices?
    Tokyo and Sydney are pretty great, haven't seen the European offices.

    Trump has about zero institutional support. He can not get his ideas turned into law. Neither of the two major parties want him there and he would be impeached for spilling coffee on a blue dress.

    I believe a Trump election certainly wouldn't be a spark to a massive influx of closeted Nazis coming out of the woodwork all over and starting any sort of movements; but it might spark a few crazies to do their crazy shit branzenly before getting their shit shut down.

    Then again, Clinton being elected would do the same apparently?

    I'm glad the crazy ones are going to out themselves eitherway this goes, apparently.

    That said if it ever does turn into a shit show here then Sweden or Czechia seem like solid choices.

    Or, you could just go to Perisher, the largest snow resort in the southern hemisphere. Or Thredbo, Hotham, Falls creek, Buller, Kosciuszko park, Alpine park, Namadgi, Baw Baw, Selwyn, Charlotte pass and much of Tasmania.

    I keep telling y'all that we have everything.

    2nd Amendment Time? Not that I actually support armed revolution but he is basically the kind of person it was put there to stop.

    As we will likely have a Trump presidency, a GOP controlled House and Senate, and at least one Trump chosen and GOP approved Justice on the Supreme Court, I am now genuinely considering a move to Canada. It is that or not have children.
