    I wish I were financially and mentally in a position to take advantage of this program because life in the United States is shit.

      If you can’t go to canada choose one of the nordic countries or most of europe. Alot cheaper to start there. Good luck king

        Bureocracy with work permits and citizenship is straight out of Monty Pythons Brazil. At least in Finland. 6 month wait times are not uncommon.

        In general for a lot of people, just getting up and moving to a new country, let alone a different city/state in the the US, is financially off the table. At least that’s how I see it.

          Yes absolutely, it’s still financially easier to go to a country that values citizens and has high population density.

        There’s rumoured to be an immigration window that will be opened if a Christo-Fascist gets elected. This should be in the Scandinavian countries.
