    As an American who just emigrated, I guess I jumped. I can still vote from overseas, but I’m pessimistic about the future.

        Japan. I had an offer from an EU country that logically would have been a better choice. But I couldn’t resist my inner child/weeb.

          Do they ever harass you for leaving the designated tourist areas?

          Not bait I’m legitimately curious.

            No, I’ve never experienced anything like that. Even in small towns. I’m sure it happens, but I don’t think it’s common as long as you’re respectful.

            The worse thing I’ve personally seen were no foreigner signs on bars during new years eve.

    Its such a shit situation. If you want out, you generally need to get a job in another country. A job in a different country generally pays significantly less than the cost of living in most of the USA, so you need to already have a significant amount of money already saved to even consider it an option.

    Most of us are just fucking trapped.

      And in the case of the EU you probably aren’t getting in unless you’re highly credentialed. For all their shit talking they sure hate large-scale immigration.
