Americans when European leaders start making the same choices that got America to this point.

    Happening in Canada too. For the last decade, virtually every province has been led by Conservative governments (except BC and that was just half a decade ago). Healthcare and housing has been slowly falling apart.

    Looking at the polls, what’s amazing is that most Canadian voters seem to think the problem is insufficient conservatism!

    It's the worst thing about being an American expatriate is watching shit happen again.

    It's bewildering to me that, after decades of getting (deservedly) dunked on by Europeans for our shitty systems, not only are American leaders still giving the whole flaming garbage heap the five finger salute, but European leaders are now saying "well, yes, the American system is awful, but we swear it'll work for us." And people are believing them. Unreal. I can't even imagine the frustration you must feel.

    We've talked about moving to Denmark or NL, but we're just not there yet, and with NL getting their own dollar store (there's a Dutch joke in there somewhere) Trump, I'm not so sure if we ever will be.

    What's the difference between an expat and an immigrant?
