      Have you considered that at least some of us have attended protests too? What are your suggestions? Revolution sounds good to me too, but I’m afraid that’s a hard one to get started and, with our surveillance state, a pretty sure way to end up in prison.

        Not to mention we’d be fighting against the might of the US military.

        Last time I checked they’ve got the capability to turn someone to paint faster than you can say, “Do you hear something?”

          I moved to Taiwan. Pay is less than America, but cost of living is also way less so it’s relative. We get universal health care which offsets the lower income.

          For reference, my water bill is around 30usd a month and my electric is 100usd. My 5G unlimited data cellphone is 20usd a month.

          Childcare is way cheaper than America, and more abundant.
