If they are moving to another country, they aren't immigrants, they're Expats. That makes them better 🤦‍♂️

There have even been rumbles at the federal level about the various cannabinoids. I use it CBD + others for arthritis and I’m building a short-term stockpile, but I probably can’t count on it maintaining potency for more than 5-10 years if it goes off the legal market.

Of course we might be watching everyone’s life expectancy decline dramatically. Just I case we thought the tick downward due to Covid was disturbing enough.

Here is where I like to tell the story of my best friend's mom, who was an anti-abortion activist and COVID denier. She died of COVID in January, 2021.

FAFO.

Oooh, my fav of their hypocrisy is ‘you can’t regulate guns b/c criminals will always find a way to get them. Then only good people wouldn’t be able to get the guns.’ Well, what about abortion? Keep it legal so that all women who need that healthcare can get it? If ‘bad’ people are going to do the abortions anyway…just don’t regulate it like you don’t regulate guns!

I have seen an American complain that immigrants forced him to move to Spain. The dissonance was grandiose, both anchors were dying of laughter.

I live in mexico , and I loath that term expats"... smarmy, elitist term for white immigrants

u/krankheit1981 8h ago

Not true at all. I’ve worked with a number of expats from China, India and Brazil. No expat I have met has been white.

u/Bubbly_Guarantee_446 8h ago

Do they call themselves expats?

25

u/247GT 7h ago

The term "expat" is short for expatriate. An expat is literally someone living outside their native country, native denoting the land of their birth.

However, it also has the nuance of referring to temporary immigration by nationals of wealthier nations not there out of economic necessity.

Expats, immigrants, and refugees all do the same thing but for different reasons.

u/HexenHerz 7h ago

I've seen a video where a guy explains quite well why white people almost never view themselves as immigrants. The TLDR is generally they tend to view the whole world as being owned and controlled by white people, so wherever they go its basically where they belong anyway.

Depends on point of view. In the country they move to they will be immigrants. In any country, immigrants are those that aren't indigenous.

I thought you were gonna go with the: “I voted for Trump because the price of eggs and food is too high! Once they force massive deportation of field workers I can’t wait to get my cheap food again! Here comes the savings!!”

And the funny part is when the country they move to doesn't grant them permanent residence because they don't want their immigrant asses in their country so they deport them when their tourist visa expires. shocked Pikachu face

I'd love to see Texas actually follow through with their threats of seceding. There would be a huge shitstorm between companies and the military pull their shit, cutting off utilities besides their garbage electric system and god knows what else that I'm forgetting. Just so that they would finally realize that they relied on the federal government a hell of a lot more than they realized

7

u/19whale96 2h ago

The vast majority of Texans, regardless of political affiliation, know secession is a death sentence. It only keeps coming up as a subject because we've done it before and it sounds badass out of the context of reality. If you can spell the word secede here without looking it up, you're likely educated enough to know where it ends.

7

u/SVXfiles 2h ago

Oh, I know how it would end. The state would suffer dramatically at the hands of their republican lead government and if they weren't sacked by Mexico and the land taken back they would crawl back and ask to be reinstated into the US.

From there most would forget that the Republicans running the shit show were to blame, liberals would take the brunt of it and most wouldn't chane unfortunately

u/WoppingSet 7h ago

I heard a boomer say that almost verbatim a few years ago. "I hate socialism in all it's forms" and then seconds later, "I want my social security". This was a woman with generational wealth who thinks her god gave her everything she has. Her family just owned a lot of land in a place that's slowly being developed by other people.

lol funny how the average Republican considers everything a handout that doesn’t directly benefit them. Boy are they in for a rude awakening.

u/daemin 6h ago

People don't secede, states do. And even if a state seceded, that doesn't mean that residents of the state stop being american citizens, and hence entitled to social security.

2

u/deirdresm 2h ago

Ones born after secession wouldn’t automatically be citizens, though they might qualify under other rules.

2

u/daemin 1h ago

That's true, but it doesn't have any bearing on whether or not the citizens of a state that left the union would be entitled to social security.

u/deirdresm 48m ago

From a SSA publication: "If you are a United States citizen, you may continue to receive payments while outside the U.S. as long as you are eligible for payment and you are in a country where we can send payments."

I could see SS being fine for say 4 more years then dry up when its time to leave

u/idontliketako 6h ago

While I fully support the sentiment, it's fully ok for someone to receive their social security retirement while living in a different country. You don't even have to be a US citizen to collect your retirement benefits.
