most of their churches are indoctrination factories. Brainwashing quashing that pesky CRITICAL THINKING HABIT to where they can hate & persecute progressives, liberals, people of different sexual orientations, scientists, freethinkers, etc. & hopefully their zombie jew on a stick will approve.

Captain Fatass Bloodsucker wants them to leave, but also he wants their support, he wants the support of most of the people that he's pissing off / has pissed off. NAIVE, ARROGANT AS HELL ( a place that he'll hopefully find OUT ABOUT..... !! ) & STUPID.

A TON of businesses are going to pay a potentially LARGE price for glaringly, patently BLINDINGLY obvious reasons. PLUS I know a fair amount of immigrants, mostly people who want to make an honest wage.

Walter, thanks for a truly incisive piece of thinking. They dovetail quite nicely with my own.

I agree with the commenters who don't want you to leave. And — on the other hand, my wife and I will be empty nesters after next summer. Hopefully...

We watch House Hunters every night in bed before bed and it would be so nice to cut our living expenses in half and not deal with the racism, bigotry, and maga bullshit we can't seem to escape here in the US.

Our kids will all be adults after our youngest graduates next year, but I just don't know how far away from them we could stand to be. Mexico? Canada?

We'll see. I kind of wish they were younger again and we could just pack everyone up and go somewhere interesting. I stayed in Puerto Vallarta for a while many years ago. I loved it.

Thanks for sharing, Walter.

Thanks William!

You could always get established abroad and then come back for weeks or months at a time. I've been trying to figure this out myself. Thanks for the comment!

I think it is something we definitely want to do. Our business is web dev so it's all work from home. All I need is good, high-speed internet and I'm good to go.

You might want to reach out to https://substack.com/@elizabethsillecklarue

She often writes articles on moving abroad, and I believe she does some consulting work in that field. She's a smart and honest person. I've worked with her on some articles for Medium.
