The American dream is over: Why some first-generation Gen Zers are moving abroad
The American dream is over: Why some first-generation Gen Zers are moving abroad
The cost of health care and rent, as well as a chaotic political system, has these children of immigrants leaving the American dream behind to live elsewhere.
“That being said, I am happy to give up my right to vote as a trade for a significantly better quality of life. It’s cleaner, it’s safer. There’s more opportunity in mobility,” she said.
“There’s no one on this planet who could be that bad of a person that we need to assassinate just to keep them out of the presidency,” Christian said. “How radical the American culture and society is getting in its entirety is making me go, ‘I really need to get out of here.’”
Christian and Salah said they won’t be voting, and Do said she is still learning about the process for voting abroad right now.
“I think American politics is a joke,” Salah said. “I think we’re seeing that no matter which party is in power, no matter which face it is, it’s kind of the same system.”
Jesus fucking Christ.
Come to Finland, we are the happiest country, and we need more people.
Summer is full of mosquitoes and in winter you don't see sun at all.
Language is hard but English is well spoken. This adds complexity to getting citizenship, but you can get permanent residency by working here for five years, unless our xenophobic party doesn't increase that to eight years.
We are quiet people unless we are drunk.
Password in the border is pronouncing Sauna correctly (sau - na, not like soona, unless you are from Savo, where it is pronounced saana).
Edit: Here is a government site that lists jobs that you can apply as foreigners and move here with visa: https://www.workinfinland.com/en/
I imagine that means moving abroad is going to get even more expensive. Great
Those who are coming down to Mexico, calling themselves "expats" (ex-patriots?) instead of what they truly are, illegal immigrants, aliens that just want to get advantage of our cheap prices, are not welcomed here. We don't like these people just as you never liked us. Fuck off and go fix your country like we were/are forced to do ourselves by imperialistic racist powerhouses like you.
You are only making the price of livinghood raise for everyone else, you are only getting more innocent poor people killed, specially if you don't work for a mexican company, but an american one remotely. Fuck you, you are the worst.
I immigrated to the us as a child, now as an adult I'm considering a move to Europe for the quality of life. Immigration is not easy though but if the US becomes the hell hole the gop wants, I'm out dawg.
IDK, every generation has had challenges to face. If this generation thinks the answer is to move away and everything will be fine and dandy, I'm afraid they're mistaken. You're going to have to earn it and put in hard work, no matter where you go. And while the US has some issues that get magnified, the grass is rarely greener on the other side.
