Yeah, a lot of industries that the USA needs is basically overseas at this point.

    It'd be a shame if this trade war escalated to make consumer goods unavailable/more expensive during what will probably be the hottest summer in human history and an election year where the majority of Americans hate their unhinged genocidal president who's gaslighting them about the ersatz economy.

    Even if it's not a recession, it's basically "hard economic times" masqueraded as a "booming" economy... which is a term that means nothing at this point.

    The least the US can do is make it easier to leave the US. Like what is even the point?

    It's not like the rich need workers anymore, and they'd be happy to see us lowly poors go.

    Is it hard to leave? I thought the big issue was getting residency in the new country
