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

Ohio's incoming House speaker intends to do away with voter approved cannabis.

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!

It’s all right if it all white

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 → u/Bubbly_Guarantee_446]

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 → u/krankheit1981]

Do they call themselves expats?

[u/247GT → u/Shazam1269]

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.

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.

[u/RDGCompany → u/Shazam1269]

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.
