    George Carlin’s punchline is appropriate here:

    It’s called the American Dream because you’ve got to be asleep to believe it!

    The zoomers arent alone. millennials and gen Xers are thinking about it too.

    That is so weirdly worded. How many generations does GenZ have that there’s a “first generation“?

    Edit: ooooh, children of immigrants.

    I’m putting away a sizable nest egg for my daughter in the hopes that she’s going to use it to get out of this god forsaken place when she’s old enough.

    That’s great if you are rich or have dual citizenship.

    The rest of you will be able to fend for themselves right?

    Am actively looking for jobs abroad. Thin on the ground if your field isn’t in demand

      There are a small number of countries that an American can immigrate to and gain residency on basically social security income alone, and a smaller number of those do not actually have age requirements on that.

      But uh yeah, generally speaking, you need to either be quite wealthy or have an existing job offer for a fairly high paying job to functionally immigrate to most countries.
