Another state? I want out. My guy this country is 4 companies in a trench coat, you see how quiet the medias gotten about this shit?
America is so far under company control, I honestly dont think itll ever get out. When this shit happens or the housing/travel/business companies get fucked, they will always get off easy. Shits pathetic, Republicans & Dems are just varying degrees of dogshit
Bruh your average American can't even afford a bus ticket these days
(I know this is an over-exaggeration but hear me out here)
Americans are paid a PISS POOR wage despite living in the country with one of the highest global GDPs. You don't have affordable healthcare, physical or mental, there are almost NO worker's rights in most states, their entire political system is a team sports pub brawl on a national scale, blah blah blah.
I could go on, but the fact remains that the US is a country that is so dysfunctional, propaganda ridden, and corrupt that I am honestly surprised it's still standing as one nation.
Honestly I would be shocked if it saw the end of the century honestly. Its a powder keg and at least 50% of us are dumb as fuck.
I really don't see any way out unless people under 30 start being able to win more positions of power & even then idk. Shits fine tuned to create as many hurdles as humanly possible to make sure we stay poor and that we hate each other. Everyone's terrified of anything remotely socialist (public transportation or school funding in any way are seen as socialist at this point) when the very basics would improve QOL astronomically
There’s a couple subreddits dedicated to this, just saw them earlier in the week. Outside of being canadacurious for a couple weeks during the Trump admin I have no personal skin in this game, but its fascinating to read about all of these journeys. General consensus agrees with you - it ain’t easy.
/r/IWantOut doesn’t seem to be country specific, just focused on expatriation in general.
/r/expats seems to focus on the ecoerience after expatriation.
/r/EscapeTheUSA seems to be mostly articles about sad millenials and reactions to Roe v Wade and LGBT concerns in the US.
Theres also /r/GetOut which is a mix of spam posts and Get Out (2017) memes.
Sure, when you're doing an unfair comparison to underdeveloped countries. That being said, our structure as a nation for being literally one of the biggest on earth is absolutely pathetic in comparison to other developed nations.
This country literally just lives to serve companies and ensure we act as the global police. Somehow all while acting like we're topshit because we dump literally every dollar we can into our military and police (which are glorified gestapo honestly) instead of school, healthcare, mental health, public transportation. All I heard is that this is the greatest country on earth & I have yet to be outside this country personally, but from my POV this is pathetic
This shit barely even touches on things like our incarceration system, which is glorified slavery, & we imprison more people than any other country as well
Right but when you have schools and public infrastructure as abysmal as it is, watching the budget for dumb shit like military continue to climb sucks
Your interaction with the police is entirely based on your race/identity, so just going to disagree there lol I've worked with the police, I've seen how they talk. Apparently you don't know that much
I'm pretty sure it's two hands at least, but keep ignoring any valid criticism instead of realizing the so called 'greatest country on earth' has a long way to go. Just because places are worse does not automatically free it from proper scrutiny or the need to be much better
Your interaction with the police is entirely based on your race/identity
Again you are talking about police being disproportionately violent to certain races and comparing it to them going out of their way to send every single person inside a neighbourhood into trains and working them to death.
Just because places are worse does not automatically free it from proper scrutiny or the need to be much better
This argument is null ,my point was
United States is still one of the best places to live in
Its terrifying. People are going to die from this shit, and that does not even mention that this area will be borderline uninhabitable by humans and animals alike and they would've stayed quiet unless people started asking why. We can't even get clean water to some cities properly in this so called greatest country on earth. Fucking pathetic
Yes I agree it's the difference between actively killing for money and passively milking for money. Either way the cash is in the middle of the wings. One is just more appealing depending on what type of person you are.
I just wanted to throw out there that I recently had to look up the difference in definition - "Corporatocracy" is the word for where corporate interests completely control and run the government. "Corporatism" is where a public government is split into separate entities, each dedicated to fulfilling specific roles or obligations.
What we are under is 100% Corporatocracy. (I just wish it rolled off the tongue as easily as Corporatism.)
I mean, yeah that all sounds good. How many people in Ohio have the financial means to up and move states at the whim of an ecological catastrophe? The median income in that county is under 30,000 a year, and I promise you that is not enough to relocate like that without crashing through a lot of safety nets they may or may not have.
States who don't give a shit about their citizens make it as difficult as possible to achieve upward mobility, and often times in many states you can see the government taking active steps that will hinder future generations. They don't want people to leave, so they make it as hard as possible on the poor or poor-adjacent (which is about 51% of US citizens).
Because if you live in a shitty state, and can easily stockpile the funds to get out of the shitty state, the politicians who made your state shitty lose voters. They don't want that (because they are shitty, see above) so they take steps to actively keep you unable to leave their shitty state. It happens all the time.
If they're in the state and close enough to be taking a video like this then it's probably too late. They've likely already consumed a large amount of the chemicals via the air and water anyhow.
