True!
I wonder if the numbers will have an impactful change when comparing the people that said they would move out of the U.S. due to 2016/2020/2024.
That would require money, which most of the working class does not have.
The people spewing this rhetoric are those higher up the food chain; moving out of the US was also said in 2016 and 2020.

But what does it take to move to Canada? Is it even possible for Americans? And how difficult would it be? In short, it’s not an easy journey, but it can be done.
To gain permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship, the process is complicated. You must be 18 years old. Then, you can apply several different ways — via specific provinces, via a special entrepreneur route, with help from a family member or spouse already living in Canada or through Québec, which has special immigration requirements, Business Insider reported.
The more skills you have, including fluency in English and French, the higher you’ll “score” on applications, making you all the more likely to gain residency.
Skilled workers are able to apply for residency via a fast track, called the Express Entry system. Under that, skilled workers are transitioned into new roles in the country and given scores based on their talents and job prospects when they apply that then contribute to where they’re placed and if they’re placed. Those with top scores are given permanent residency on a Canadian work visa.
Once a permanent residence, you’re entitled to healthcare coverage and are able to work, study and travel anywhere in the country. But, you can’t vote, run for office or hold certain jobs with top security clearances.
Permanent residents could lose their status if they aren’t in Canada for at least 730 of the days during the first five years of their tenure, and to continue it after five years, they must meet that requirement and then declare their intent to stay Canadian. The only exception is for Crown servants or their families working on behalf of Canada abroad.
Those requirements must be met plus some to become a citizen. Permanent residents have to be physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the first five years of their permanent residency — more specifically before the date their applications are signed. Consistency is key — inconsistency in living and simply being in Canada can be a red flag to immigration officers reviewing citizenship applications.
Income tax filings have to be sent for three years of that five-year period leading up to the date of the application signing, which is to show the Canadian authorities that the individual’s job is legit. You must also speak English or French, not necessarily fluently, but you have to be able to prove that you can make small talk in one of those languages, including giving directions and using basic grammar and being able to describe yourself.
A general knowledge of Canada is also required, including history, values and other institutions and symbols of Canada. The test is written but can be delivered orally.
Even then, there are a number of reasons why an application can be denied despite meeting the aforementioned requirements. Any crimes committed within four years of the application submission are likely to disqualify a prospective citizen.
X users flocked to the social media platform, which is owned by Elon Musk, to vent their frustrations and discuss their plans. Many joked about moving to Canada amid the results, like user @desjjong, who wrote, Chat if yall fumble this country’s election im moving to Canada or sum s—."[1]
Oh, thanks for that information!
Russia’s foreign ministry and security service “are putting finishing legal touches” on the removal, said Kamulov, adding that the final decision will “hopefully” be announced soon.
“We once again appeal to Western countries with an urgent call to acknowledge responsibility for the post-conflict reconstruction of Afghanistan, lift sanctions restrictions, and return Kabul’s appropriated assets,” he said during the opening remarks of the meeting, where Taliban’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi had also been present.
Russia has slowly been normalizing relations with the Taliban after it seized power in Afghanistan in 2021 following the withdrawal of the U.S. forces after 20 years of war. Since then, the Taliban has imposed harsh restrictive laws on women in particular, including banning them from speaking in public.
No international government has recognized the Taliban administration, but China and United Arab Emirates have accepted its ambassadors in their capitals.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a message on X that the attack targeted “solely military and security sites” involved in what he said was the Israeli “genocide in Gaza and Lebanon” and was conducted by Iran in “self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.”
“Our action is concluded unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. In that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful,” Araghchi said.
Hezbollah is both an armed group and political party that controls much of southern Lebanon. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, although the European Union has only blacklisted its armed wing.
As the UN Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting on the Middle East for October 2, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack “a big mistake” and said Tehran “will pay for it.” He added: “Whoever attacks us, we attack them.”
U.S. President Joe Biden said he would discuss a response with Netanyahu. Asked what the response would be, Biden replied: “That’s in active discussion right now. That remains to be seen.”
The number of ballistic missiles fired was about twice as many as were launched in an attack on Israel earlier this year, Ryder added in a briefing with journalists. The attack in April was in retaliation for a deadly Israeli air strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
World leaders urged Iran and Israel to step back from the brink and negotiate a cease-fire.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also called for an immediate cease-fire and condemned Iran’s attack “in the strongest terms,” while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the attack was “totally unacceptable” and should be condemned by the entire world."
There are many competitions that are open to people outside the US, so I would check others out if you are interested in rockets!

There are many great competitions where previous programming experience would come in handy.
One competition that takes place in the U.S.:
NASA Student Launch
It actually IS rocket science! Student Launch is a 9-month long challenge that tasks student teams from across the U.S. to design, build, test, and launch a high-powered rocket carrying a scientific or engineering payload. It is a hands-on, research-based, engineering activity and culminates each year with a final launch in Huntsville, Alabama home of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The activity offers multiple challenges reaching a broad audience colleges and universities as well as middle and high school aged students across the nation.[1]
Culminating Event Dates: April 30 – May 4, 2025
Culminating event location: Huntsville, AL
Eligibility: Open to U.S. Students
Grade Levels: Grades 6-12, College and University
We must not fear using our critical thinking muscles, or else we will lose them.
There should be no need to ask, but I guess some still need to…
The normal route would be to check profile information and history; then it becomes really easy to figure out, for some.

You should see what happens when political tribalism takes place in the United States.
Strong emotions and financial strain with the working class at an all-time high, disdain towards other groups, and fights break out.
Assassination attempts and murder of activists and politicians due to disagreements.
I think it goes back to dividing the working class and keeping us entertained so we don’t pay attention to the status quo.
No need, it just didn’t do well.
It happens to those that try.
Like the duopoly, we can criticize these warmongers on way more than just focusing on their looks; it downplays and distracts us from focusing on their abysmal record.
Edit: improved sentence structure
Like all websites, there are fake ones and then there are official ones.
Many will be clones of what the original website looked like.
Wrong question and framing.
Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.
Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.
You Can’t Keep Your Parents’ Skulls [Caitlin Doughty | September 4, 2019 | theatlantic.com]
Under U.S. law, it’s nearly impossible to get permission to decapitate and de-flesh a relative’s remains.
Abuse-of-corpse laws exist for a reason. They protect people’s bodies from being mistreated (ahem, necrophilia). They also prevent a corpse from being snatched from the morgue and used for research or public exhibition without the dead person’s consent. History is littered with such violations. Medical professionals have stolen corpses and even dug up fresh graves to get bodies for dissection and research. Then there are cases like that of Julia Pastrana, a 19th-century Mexican woman with a condition called hypertrichosis, which caused hair to grow all over her face and body. After she died, her husband saw that there was money to be made by displaying Pastrana in freak shows, so he took her embalmed and taxidermied corpse on world tour. Pastrana had ceased to be regarded as human; her corpse had become a possession.
So where do skulls on bookcases come from? In the United States, no federal law prevents owning, buying, or selling human remains, unless the remains are Native American. Otherwise, whether you’re able to sell or own human remains is decided by each individual state. At least 38 states have laws that should prevent the sale of human remains, but in reality the laws are vague, confusing, and enforced at random. In one seven-month period in 2012–13, 454 human skulls were listed on eBay, with an average opening bid of just under $650 (eBay subsequently banned the practice).
If there were any legal wiggle room that might allow a person to get Dad’s head liberated from its fleshy shell, Tanya Marsh would know how to find it. Marsh is a law professor and the expert on human-remains law. “I will argue with you all day long,” she told me, “that it isn’t legal in any state in the United States to reduce a human head to a skull.”[1]
I agree; growing crops and having a healthy garden takes a lot of labor, time, and multiple tries.
When ever I see and marvel at a new local community garden or personal garden, the first thing that does not come to mind is “that looks easy.”
You are welcome!
