This is one of the many reasons that I’m traveling the world to look for a new home. I love my city and surrounding metro. I wrote an angry diatribe when an asshole politician criticized it. A friend suggested submitting it to a local paper and it got published there. I wanted to live here for the rest of my life. America is too hostile towards regular people. Its values don’t match mine. I’ll sadly accept a lot of things in my life changing in ways I regret to separate from it.

>America is too hostile towards regular people. So many family members constantly remind me that "your brain is capable enough to escape most of America's problems, just earn more money..." And I keep having to remind them that I don't want to out-compete against others, just so I can have basic healthcare (not attached to employment). Universal healthcare would "lift all the boats," and not just the yacht-owners'. >This is one of the many reasons that I’m traveling the world to look for a new home. I just applied for my passport, and am looking forward to worldly exploration.

  > I just applied for my passport, and am looking forward to worldly exploration. Congrats! Travel is super important to gain perspective - culturally, politically, and socially. As an added bonus, having a passport makes ID verification much less of a pain in the ass (typically you just need a passport rather than a state ID + other documents).
