Daaaaaamn 😔
Checking in with the chorus of over 30s that basically don't expect good things to happen again.
Yeah I don't know who these over 30 happy people are. The pres just said he plans to rendition citizens to a foreign prison anytime he reasons they did something to warrant it. My brother with kids is super worried. I don't have kids but still not likin it.
We're moving with as many of our adult children as we can convince and logistically manage out of this place. The US is losing two STEM PhD holders, multiple bachelors in engineering, and other bachelors degree holders. Yes, we're stupidly lucky to have the resources to make the move, but it's going to basically destroy my retirement resources. It's worth it if my children have a chance of a better life. We're racing the clock to get out before the borders are closed.
Fuck the Nazis in charge of this place and the people who voted them into power.
You're a good parent.

So yeah, thank you for being rational.
They were lucky enough to have bought houses during the great recession.
Mystery solved.
