Learning a foreign language and runing the fuck out of US is also an option. You don't need risk everything just to better a country where 60% of population hates you and rest is barely neutral.

Need ideas for countries. What's a good place I could move to that has decent public transit infrastructure, free healthcare and good welfare/retirement benefits, cheap gigabit internet, and legal cannabis concentrates?

(Last one is most important because I literally cannot sleep without weed; prescription sleeping pills are awful and do not work effectively for me. Also flower is a non-option cause the wife hates the smell and I want to be considerate.)

Germany, The Netherlands or Czech Republic.

Lets just wait what we Germans vote in 2029. Not sure CDU will kill off the AfD (i actually believe they will team up).

2029 may be too late. If things don't turn around after the midterms, I'm leaving the country.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean it is for sure good to plan ahead. Where do you plan on going if i may ask?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The Netherlands allows cannabis concentrates now? Last I checked it was only flower, and you still can only buy it in "coffee shops".

Did some limited research and it seems like no other country except Uruguay meets my needs. In those other countries, it seems like you have to make your own (illegally). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that you can't just walk into a shop and buy shatter, crumble, wax, a preloaded distillate vape, etc.

I don't have the skills nor the fancy equipment to make my own concentrates, so I guess I'm going to die here in the US... I don't want to have to go back to the days of taking several prescriptions for my various physical and mental issues. I just want to be able to freely hit the vape anytime and anywhere, and not have to look over my shoulder every time I do so. Those days are far behind me and I never want to go back to them ever again.

Japan still has legal CBN (and CBD), at least until the government figures out that people are using it to have fun and bans it. Although health care is cheap but not free.

Or even just still using English. Most countries use it in some capacity.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can get by with English in many countries but it doesn't work as a long term plan to just rely on English if you plan to move there.

Yeah it's being able to communicate somewhat vs being able to integrate language wise, right?

You're going to struggle to get a job most places if you sont know the native language

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's more like 30% of the population

Only 12% of African Americans voted Trump IIRC. The majority of European Americans did vote for him. Don’t let them hide what they are behind the decency of others.

This is how you concentrate evil, and doing so in a huge area with the most power and resources is a bad idea.
The better idea is to organize, spread the good out, beat gerrymandering, beat FPTP, regulate campaign funding and special interest lobbying, change the laws, bring back evidence based policy making expert council, and crush the enemy.... Or be crushed and or ousted yourself.

If you have an university degree or job that's in high demand even learning a foreign language can be done after you got out. (source: I have a shitload of America friends that came to Europe without speaking anything but English)
