Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How much do you make? I'm up for some light marriage fraud if you'd like a Finnish citizenship.
Hahaha. Love it. Happily married though. But in all transparency I make ~$400k in the US, but similar prospects overseas probably pay closer to $80k from what I've heard.
I don't mind a pay cut. But my research this far seems to indicate that settling down somewhere else permanently is difficult.
I’m an American living permanently in Germany. It is difficult, especially keeping on top of paperwork. It’s not impossible though, and even easier if you’re in tech (I’m assuming by the fivefold pay increase). If you learn the language of the place you’re trying to stay, it’s much easier.
Just be aware that Germany is turning more and more right-wing, too...
I’m well aware, but it’s a good sight better off than the US for now. Citizenship in an EU country entitles you to freedom of travel within the EU and residency in any EU country, so once I get that, my husband and I will be able to look at other countries (though really only the Nordic countries and Ireland are better options, that we can see, and those are all pretty expensive comparatively), but even just in Germany, the difference is wild. The institutions here are much stronger, as is the sense of solidarity, so even with the (terrifying) success of the AFD and BSW/FW peeling off votes from the left and more mainstream parties, there’s a very long way to go before Germany is as far to the right as the US. Plus, you have a right to healthcare and much stronger workers’ rights (and rent is way cheaper outside of major cities, I’m talking €400/$440 for a two bedroom).
Yes, you're correct.
Cool, I'll look into it, thanks!
