The least the US can do is make it easier to leave the US. Like what is even the point?

It's not like the rich need workers anymore, and they'd be happy to see us lowly poors go.

If I could get the fuck out of here I would have done it yesterday. The truth of the matter is that I am quite literally trapped here

Is it hard to leave? I thought the big issue was getting residency in the new country

What benefits does that get you vs having dual citizenship?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It gets you out of having to pay US income tax.
