The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

But why?! The USA is a paradise for women! Isn’t that what Margaret Atwood taught us!?

      I’m not a woman but it’s been my dream for years. Now that I have a child it’s my goal to help him escape.

        Quite a few European countries including the UK I believe are starting to develop policies that would help highly educated Americans get citizenship on a fast track scheme. We don’t want a lot of scientific knowledge to go away just because America has decided to fall apart. Come work on our particle accelerators, experimental fusion reactors, or join the European space agency. It would be nice if we could have human space flight independent of Roscosmos and NASA. Maybe we could even beat NASA back to the moon, since I can’t really see Artemis making any progress anytime soon.

        I don’t think anyone’s got as far as actually implementing any of these policies yet, but they’re on the way.

        I’m sure China would also happily accept Americans, but you might not want to go that route.

          Did I mention I have an art degree lol. However my wife is an engineer, I’m trying to convince her but it’s slow going. She doesn’t think it’s as urgent as I do

            Same. My wife doesn’t want to be far away from family.

            I’ve got 2 kids and I want them to have a better life.

            I’ve looked into emigrating and I’m afraid I just don’t have the spoons for it either. Between those 2 hurdles, I don’t know if it’ll ever happen.

            Still, there’s potential. We both have degrees. I just hope she doesn’t become a target. She’s a little higher profile.
