You guys (I used to be one of you guys before I immigrated long ago) have some serious structural problems that prevent effective protest.

I posted on Bsky that people in America should call a general strike and keep striking until things get better, but I know damn well that people are rightly very afraid to lose their jobs or be put in jail, even prison. And because your healthcare, mortgage/rent, even keeping your children, every damn thing is tied to being not-in jail/prison and making money, I understand why people don't get in the streets as much, the most recent, massive nation wide demonstrations - that the media barely covered - aside.

If you got skilllzzz the place I live has a pretty sweet immigration deal. We have had three American families move into our little neighborhood in the last 18 months using it. DM me if you want to know more.
