    Are you going to help me immigrate out of here? Will anyone on Lemmy?

    For all the political posturing and holier than thou attitude I see on Lemmy not a single one of you would do anything to help me.

      My thoughts are why should I move? America the country is beautiful and bountiful. I’m not the one wrecking it. I’d rather work on cleaning up the mess than just tossing everything I’ve ever had.

      People from other countries can mock, but a lot of what I see going on in the EU doesn’t seem far behind or is in some ways worse. Chat control, anti-immigrant policies, and a rise in fascism over there as well.

      At this point, I feel I’m still better off with the enemies I know.

        I think you’re having a better go than me. The reason I’m having such a rough time is that I don’t have the things that make life bearable. If I “tossed everything I ever had” it wouldn’t be much to toss.

        Trump and Musk took my job in May. I had to pick up a gig working nights for a third of what I was making without benefits.

        Once again thanks for the owl pictures.

          This year has been tough mentally, but I’ve at least managed to maintain overall stability, and thankfully my wife has done very well this year considering we lost both her parents in the last two years.

          I don’t know where you’re or what work you do, but I’m at a huge pharmaceutical company, so they hire damn near every kind of job since we’re basically self contained. I’m a nobody so my name won’t open doors, but I can always watch postings if you are able to get up to KOP or Collegeville. Like I said before, PM me if you ever need to.

          We can only make things better if we’re looking out for each other.

      What would help look like? I could answer questions, help practice the language etc. But otherwise what could anyone do? I can’t give you a job or a visa. My apartment isn’t big enough to house someone. There just isn’t too much us normal people can do.

          Well, that’s nothing anyone can just provide you with. You’d need to do your research, maybe ask around in relevant expat communities. Check if your country of choice needs people with your skill set. What I can tell you is that I know many expats who come on a tourist visa to job hunt, usually stay longer with a student visa and learn German in language schools and then try to get a job from there. It does require quite a lot of funds though.
