Grants for bike paths pulled because they are hostile to cars. Please, someone who thinks this is a good thing and makes sense explain it to me.

okay---i kind of agree with you. but yeah----if they build the darn paths, the fEEEEEEBleBikes will come, and the trails will be just as dangerous to actually Bike on, as the highways. See? People who are too WEAK and Feeble to pedal a REAL bike, will be flying blind nearly 30 mph, down a "bike trail"! Can't have that. Nope. In Holland, the cops now have test stands, to check EBikes(which evidently have become a plague like locusts) to see if they've been altered to increase their top speed, because it has become a problem. See? Yup.

okay----this thread has been VERY depressing for you kids, though it allows for a Democratic way to express your intense dissatisfaction with Dick Tator Mr Orange Drumph or however you refer to the current Presydent. But yeah---to cheer you up, I decided to post another photo-op pix of ol' Jimmah, your favorite beloved mild-mannered Leader of all time. (see photo). I guess he was in IWAH, The Meat State, rounding up Votes for the 76 election, and his handlers musta figured he'd have more IWAH appeal as a "Good Ol' Boy" if he stopped and pretended to make a snowball. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.Attachment 6533

I’m confused by what you’re saying. You say you would be likely to “leave next summer.”

do you mean leave the country for good? Or simply leave to visit Ecuador?

edited to add: as I read carefully, you were talking about a vacation trip to Ecuador next summer. So that doesn’t even get “fleeing this country “onto your calendar.

Hi, IL. Let me clarify - I would be leaving my employer for good - that's why I am stacking cash right now. After I leave my employer I could take whatever time I need to visit Ecuador for an exploratory visit. Should Ecuador not suit, Mexico is a good back up plan B and is perfectly acceptable - it's just that Ecuador gives a better chance of Passport B. Rob

Bobby, at the risk of encouraging you, sometimes you make me laugh.

okay---something happened to my new post about your favorite leader-of-the-left, the very kindly and soft-spoken jimmah cahtah (see photo). So here it is, again. But yeah---one of his very thoughtful acts was to grant the poor-little-rich-girl, Patty Hearst an early release, after she was imprisoned for taking part in criminal activities with a far-left terrorist group. Yup. (see photo). She's carrying an assault rifle. Yup.

Since this thread seems to be the one where organic discussions of fleeing the United States happens for the most part, I’ll talk about my new business idea for Nigerian scammers. They may already be doing it because they’re a very smart bunch.

Based on more than one Interview financial podcaster Caleb Hammer had with completely clueless young people who want to flee the United States, I believe there is scam money to be made in dangling “Skip out on America” programs in front of these folks.

The scam would be masquerading as a company that will guide you through easy ways to emigrate to the “better “ countries Rob lionizes. You know, those Meccas where the government provides many free goods and services and Nazi politicians don’t send goons after your brown skinned neighbors.

So, my scammer would sell these clueless people promises to get them permanent resident visas and easy Employment in high paying jobs and practically free apartment all for the low price of $14,996 ( luxury package) or $7,999 for the standard package. 20% off if you sign on today! Easy monthly payments accepted.

It is very easy to set up a website for a faux company and supply false documentation for all of these promised items all the while collecting the victim’s Social Security numbers and bank accounts and etc., for a double scam.

Really if you would listen to a couple of these interviews, you have to wonder where these young folks are getting their ideas about how welcoming other countries are to people like themselves that have zero money, that have in fact, debt.

I will admit that youth is on their side because some countries certainly welcome youthful applicants but those youthful applicants have to have some money or skills that are in demand.

I think most of them have very little clue what is involved, and how to succeed. It's a bit tricky to do correctly even if you have resources and are a "desirable immigrant".

(Now, it's fairly easy to just bop around the world, never staying in any one place long enough to exceed your tourist visa, but...)

(I still kick myself for not having jumped on a job offer in Iceland a few years ago that came with all the visa stuff dealt with.)

I received a “we are considering your application seriously “ letter for an interview in… was it Vienna? I’m not even sure why I applied for such a crazy faraway job in a country in which I had no interest. I remember the salary was crazy high, but later I learned that the cost of living there is crazy high. I didn’t go and I know thru the grapevine they had many applicants.

This was during a strange period where technical services library managers were apparently in short supply because I got similar letters from very large public library systems that were beyond my level of experience of the time.

And there were two occasions where a path existed for a job in
scotland (my dream country) directly in the specialized library field I was in. The first time I missed the opportunity and didn’t really know about it until the project was practically completed. The second time I was too comfortable in St. Louis to contemplate it seriously.

A few years ago I dug into some family history and German bureaucracy to get approved for citizenship. The beauty of it is with the EU it gives me residency rights almost (thanks Brexit ) anywhere I would want to live over there. Doubt I will actually ever move, but nice to know I don't have to base plans off a 6 months tracker.
