I've been saying it since 2016: the EU should start granting political asylum to people from the US.

I moved from the U.S. to Germany in 2020.
My running joke since was wondering whether Iβd be eligible for citizenship or asylum firstβ¦.
Almost over the finish line for being eligible for citizenship, but I feel like asylum isnβt that far off.
You don't need asylum if you are a legal resident. Asylum is the most insecure form of permit, especially in Germany, where the society is currently getting more and more hostile to migration, including labeling countries like Afghanistan as "safe countries of origin" and organizing deportations with the Taliban.
I'm doing my part fleeing to Sweden, granted I'm a programmer and game dev so not a scientist. I'm done letting the US profit off my skills though
Don't forget to get rid of your US citizenship or they'll still profit off your work.
You will like it, Sweden has a nice relaxed working culture where we actually care about how people feel at work.
I want more European game developers, so yeah good on you
Did you just job hunt over there and get a work visa?
I've got enough tech experience I probably could have. I'm going back to school though out of savings and going to get on a student visa
Canada seriously needs to make a big show of offering the same thing. It's now or never.
We don't have the housing. Carney needs to get the government into home building yesterday.
Left for Taiwan in the first Trump presidency. Haven't been back since.
Jealous! Taiwan is an amazing place
Come visit. We are a very welcoming country and love foreigners and tourist!
I'd like to see numbers at scale. I don't see too many people taking pay cuts yet
Need any IT?
Germany needs plenty. But only the cheap ones with expert knowledge. Thatβs not how they would word it though
