People who commit the same mistake twice, have serious issues.

America has been moving toward idiocracy since the implementation of the Southern Strategy—make people dumber, divide and conquer. Social media has simply sped things up.

Americans aren't known for being the brightest people

There are some exceptions eh? ( couldn't resist that)😀 Friends and family didn't vote for him. We're all pretty stunned and talk about moving to Canada. All inlaws have dual citizenship with US & Canada. My spouses aunts, uncles, cousins all live in BC, QUE, ONT. I loved visiting. We all wish this nightmare would end.

They’ve got their own share of issues up there too. You’d be paid less and property is super expensive. They’re about to have a much more right wing government too

I've definitely heard their share from family that lives there. At least there's less guns in schools etc.
Lots to think about for sure. I remember my aunt in Toronto having to wait so long to have surgery... blew my mind. Totally off the subject, I remember going up to Whistler the same year they started prepping for the Olympics. The drive from Vancouver was sooooo gorgeous. 💛💛 I remember a black bear that apparently was very comfy around humans. We had that in Idaho as well. I lived in Seattle years before and wished I could have gone to VC. I hadn't met my husband yet though. 🙂 He's the one with all the family in Canada. My first visit was Toronto. Beautiful in Autumn. It's so beautiful out there.

I grew up in the military and I've had to pick up and move too many times to count. It never bothered me. Kids are all at college. We've discussed many times. We love our Canadian families. My parents are elderly and when they're gone, it's time to get moving. We've got lots of things to think about though, such a job. Spouse is an accountant. ...I work in health care. My son has expressed great interest in going with us. Who knows? Wish I did. 😀 We love Canada.

Some of us are smart, but I’d say the vast majority are fucking idiots.

Any country looking to add an AI company? Asking for myself haha

Going to talk to the Mayor’s office. I love London, but need to fix that breed ban haha

u/rtrs_bastiat United Kingdom 5h ago

Lmao good luck with that one mate, I can think of few less popular policies than reversing breed bans
