    How can they move to another country? Countries aren’t just taking whoever shows up. Even Americans have to bring something to the table. Doctor? Engineer? Ok. Barista? HVAC guy? LOL good luck. Gen Z hasn’t figured out they’re stuck here. Time to start fixing shit.

      Some countries like Geemany or Italy (some towns) will actually pay you a living wage if you are moving and are a professional, not much mind you, but enough to support you until you can up on your feet. There are other countries with similar programs but I don’t remember right now.

      EDIT: I forgot the thing with Spain. If you have citizenship with any latin american countries, they will give you a work visa there super easy and cheap. So if you are an American GenZ who’s parents are Mexican, then you just got your Mexican citizenship thanks to a recent change in Mexico and can also apply to move to Spain.

      For your skilled and educated workers, its very easy. Not to mention your neighbouring countries have experienced brain drain for an entire generation because of higher American salaries.

      Prepare to experience brain drain as your best doctors, scientists and engineers easily move to other countries leaving you grasping to have enough people in critical areas.

      This is one of the reasons the US excelled as a super power. Getting a constant import of the best and the brightest from around the world makes all your companies more successful and your army stronger and better equipped.

      Time to start fixing it? These people are leaving because it’s painfully obvious that this shit is on the brink of getting much worse.

        You missed the point.

        WHO is leaving?

        HOW are they becoming citizens of another country?

        I’m not saying we should or should not leave. I’m saying most of us don’t have the option to leave.

        And your response is “can you blame them”? LOL no I can’t blame them. I also can’t be them, and neither can you unless you have an amazing career or the right family member in another country.

        So time to start fixing shit. Because there is nowhere else to go.

      Millennials figured out it’s cheaper to send kids to college in Europe.

      Gen Z graduates college in the EU, compares the living standards, and stays there.

      This is brain drain, not American Asylees. Although that’s coming if we stay on this path.
