I regret clicking on number 3
I forgot this was a thing. She didn't ask me any serious questions and they seem tangential to vetting. All three were dumb and not obvious vets
@lurkerhasarisen Ooh I see; so that's why It just seemed asinine. Why leave the means of production that made you rich in the first place?
Addendum, @Vermillion-Rx:
I hope you replied with:
a census taker tried to survey me once. I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
thip-thip-thip-thip-thip-thip!

@FrancoAP There are fewer and fewer first world people that want to go to the US. Your immigration is gonna be second and third worlders, as well as repressive places like China.
Most of my nephews and nieces have left the US behind for their European roots. Not because of some deep connection to it -- although them speaking the language growing up helped as well as a ready passport / dual citizenship --, but because they can get education cheap, housing cheap (relatively), healthcare reasonable and feel they have more opportunity to rise up the ranks. As well as having 3 weeks vacation a year and many have longer.
Some of them come out of apprenticeships without debt and being paid a small amount plus room and board and their work experience is seen as a better resume by companies than the people who went to college, have big debt, and low in practicals in the meantime.
The US is really expensive in many aspects except for doodads that I find less and less impressive as time goes on. Rent is high, food is expensive (and very monotone), and every place is looking the same. I love America for unique stuff especially the National and state parks, but the bullshit that has been rising since I was born makes me want to skip out as well.
