      Yeah, woke up and checked. Fuck. Guess we’re fleeing the country.

        I wish you the best of luck and expediency in that endeavor. I’m pretty solidly stuck here; all my family has been here for generations, so I have no “heritage” to speak of to get myself citizenship in another country.

        If/when I leave my job I do have the option to drain my retirement as a (mostly) untaxed lump sum; I’m under 30, so I don’t expect retirement to still exist as a concept in 40 years. I expect the fund will get taken out from under me either way, better to at least use it for myself.f.

          I’m really sorry. I feel bad for you and for so many others. One of the mods in c/News has a gay and a trans kid. Another has a daughter-in-law who could get deported. They don’t have the luck I have. I wish they did. I wish I could take all of you with me.

            Funny enough it wouldn’t be hard for me to get a job in the UK, but I would still be working for the same branch of US government 😐
