Any US Expatriates here?

Best to stay away from Australia. Everything's ridiculously expensive or unavailable, nobody can actually do anything, you get fined if you don't vote, guns are only for baddies, the power is supplied by Elon Musk's big battery (which only occasionally catches on fire) and we're about to become a Chinese protectorate.

Quite sad because I loved it when I visited but yes, I am aware of the problems and thus Australia is not on my list.

I found a few places in the U.K right next to Jimbuna and another next to Eichhörnchen. I declined to buy the properties as I don't want them complaining in Subsim, " well, there goes the neighborhood. " in the event I moved there.



Seriously, the U.S may have it's issues but I would rather be here than anywhere else.

You could also move to our little island here in Denmark.

Here we have the motto-What can be postpone to next week we postpone-With other words-We take it very easy...

It's also very calm here and the busses is free-no cost.

Actually, I've looked into Denmark, it is on the list along with Switzerland, and Finland.

Move in next to Jim?


We could go find Steed's flat?


Just think of the fun you'd have at the pub?!

Exactly, we may have problems, but overall, it is still a nice place to live and big enough that frankly most problems can be ignored

I have to disagree, especially for those of us under 40. We are a nation of corporate feudalism, intertwined with a emerging theocracy. Supreme Court which just took away the right to body autonomy from half of the population, said let each state decide if they are worthy of controlling their own body. Why? because it suited their religious views and they used their legal "thought" as a façade to justify their actions. Other rights are next...guaranteed. US has a broken election system and a myriad of other problems. I am in my late 30's and have decided I do not want to waste my life in this country. I am in a more fortunate position than most and would likely be fine here, but there is better out there and as such I refuse to be stuck on this sinking ship, that will likely sink during my lifetime. Future of the USA is not bright, especially for younger people.

So where are you heading Bub? What nation do you see as a preferable alternative to this one?

I'm sticking it out 'til the bitter end. I've been to several other countries both as a visitor and temporary resident. They were nice, and I enjoyed my time there. But there is no place I'd rather be than here. The U.S. isn't perfect - of course - but it is my home and I love it dearly. And as others have mentioned, every country has its own problems.

If I'm going down with this ship, I'll go down fighting.

Besides, this country has been through worse. Civil war, depression, world war, Woodrow Wilson ...

Wrong. They did it because of an oft forgotten passage in the Constitution known as the Tenth Amendment. The federal government's charter only provides a very limited number of powers and duties - and those don't include making decisions on abortions. Many federal laws are in direct violation of the Constitution. There is a reason this is called "The United States of America" and not "The Federal District of America".

(NB: I am pro-choice.)

I am still researching to make my decision. Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Germany have my interest. I have a friend loving it in Panama, although may bit a bit too hot for me down there.
