Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA? (lemmy.ca)

I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

Droughts in the west are going to end up causing mass migrations once all the water is finally gone, and the extreme heat in the east makes me think if anything people are going to be leaving the USA, probably in our lifetimes.

    Well what about the East part of the US? The US is a lot more than the desert ridden south west.

    Might want to see this: https://lemmy.ca/post/1090349 I can see this becoming a norm over there.

    Looks like the upper Midwest might be ok, at least for now.

    Good post. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out but while those temperatures mentioned in the post you provided are hot, it is certainly not the worst in the world. Areas near the equator regularly see temperatures higher than this during the summer. Those nations survive in the hot conditions so I guess the USA will have to adjust as well.
