I recognized this story from the "made in the USA" thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15794202 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15794202) and thought your story a little curious so thought I'd look into it a little more (i.e. Google your name).
Assuming this is you: https://peterburk.github.io/ https://peterburk.github.io/
"Political issues have caused me to wander around the world looking for a country willing to simply give me a visa."
What are these nebulous "political issues"? Why do you think wandering around the world is likely to result in a visa?
You say in your bio: "Where am I from? To the English, England. To the Swiss, Switzerland. To the French, France." You also claim to have lived in France most of your life, which would entitle you to French citizenship should you wish it.
You should be able to live and work in the UK, Switzerland or pretty much anywhere in the EU. What exactly is preventing you from doing so?
> If I am lucky to get a visa to a Western country, then I might earn more.
Again, do you not have English, Swiss or French citizenship? Can't you work in most of Europe?
It sounds like you should be work in most western countries and derive a western income without any problems.
