FUCK BEZOS

First step for moving abroad: subscribe to the Post.

No. The post helped create the suffering to come.

Shame of Jeff Bezos and Shame on WaPo!

Analyzing the demographics that voted against Trump and voted for Harris one would say this would be the ultimate BRAIN DRAIN from America… So much talent, native born and immigrant like would just up and leave… oh well. 51% of Americans did it to themselves.

This is such a sad story to even write.

Canada

How far has the WaPo fallen? Far.

Here’s an idea - if you live in a traditionally blue state with a high cost of living, move to a cheaper swing state instead!

rickschmitz.bsky.social•108 days ago

It’s cute how Americans assume that they can just move to any country they like and will be welcomed with open arms. Virtually every country has immigration laws like the U.S.’s. I live in Germany only because I was offered a job at a German company, I have a degree and I’m experienced in my field.

mitchcrease.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes. Particularly when they think they can emigrate to Canada without going through the immigration system like I had to.

Pay wall denial.
This is not the kind of article you pay wall! Gawddamit wapo

No doubt these countries are flattered to be considered our safety schools.

glenjackson.bsky.social•109 days ago

It’s because of corporate media like you that people are leaving

vdaishin35.bsky.social•108 days ago

Surely you will need to adapt with your host country's values, norms, and cultures, otherwise you'll be deported 🙄

edwalker.bsky.social•108 days ago

Do not go to the UK. Go to Ireland. It's in the EU, and can get good fresh food.

buffalogirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

But housing tho

alpaca-rachel.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yup. I am one of many who have considered moving to Canada.

amcansuv.bsky.social•103 days ago

Come to Vancouver! Just a couple of hours drive from Seattle 😉

alpaca-rachel.bsky.social•103 days ago

Good call. Vancouver is where I have pictured myself heading. 🏒YVR 😀

amcansuv.bsky.social•103 days ago

Depending on your profile, getting the papers may be pretty straightforward

"My candidate lost. I don't know exactly what will happen here, but I don't want to stay and fight (not literally) for my country"

Cowards 😑

pechelele.bsky.social•109 days ago

US media did their part.

jacksprat39.bsky.social•109 days ago

Leave it to the gutless Washington Pustule to opine on leaving. Besos, the swine.

neurogod.bsky.social•108 days ago

Stay where you are Americans and deal with it.

lyle-stratford.bsky.social•108 days ago

Writing from Canada. Why not stay home and fix the mess that you’ve made, rather than run away from it? Just sayin….

goldenlassogirl.bsky.social•108 days ago

Because a bunch of us have been trying for over a decade but our politics are rigged. Our kids are being shot in schools, pregnant people are dying untreated in hospitals and public education is on the chopping block.

lyle-stratford.bsky.social•108 days ago

I agree with you. Democracy is under threat in many countries, where moneyed influence is driving out moderate voices.

adaminthailand.bsky.social•109 days ago

I did it last time. Best decision of my life.

vagina-monster.bsky.social•108 days ago

I thought hard about it, had a few things lined up but just couldn’t do it.

amy-musician.bsky.social•108 days ago

Paywall.

aliceinkeynes.bsky.social•109 days ago

Thanks, Jeff.

willlondon.bsky.social•109 days ago

what did Bezos get? I'd love to know.

bluemeade7.bsky.social•109 days ago

Zero tax for his massive cap gains on AMZN. Zero tax on his businesses. Predatory work rules, deregulation. No unions. Everything.

willlondon.bsky.social•109 days ago

🤦‍♂️

willlondon.bsky.social•109 days ago

Well... we know why. And no thanks to Bezos and the WaPo!

willlondon.bsky.social•109 days ago

So, Elon Musk is co-President? Is that right

bxscihs58.bsky.social•108 days ago

If what I read on X is accurate, Musk threw Stephen King off because King called him “ The First Lady”. I adore King; he was my go-to Summer reading. Is King here???

willlondon.bsky.social•108 days ago

He will be soon, I think!

garretevans.com•108 days ago

He has an account, I believe:

@stephenking.bsky.social

bxscihs58.bsky.social•108 days ago

Ty
Just followed him!

willlondon.bsky.social•108 days ago

Cool!

realeventhorizon.bsky.social•97 days ago

He last posted 5 months ago here. He said on twitter that he was moving to Threads. His account on twitter is still on, so he was not banned by the idiot.
