People outside the US, how do you feel US expats or exiles would do in your country or region? (lemmy.world)

NGL, not asking for a friend. Given the current trends in US politics, it seems prudent to at least look into it.

Most of the online content on the topic seems to be by immigration attorneys hustling ultra rich people. I'm not ultra rich. I have a job in tech, could work remotely, also have enough assets to not desperately need money if the cost of living were low enough.

I am a native English speaker, fluent enough in Spanish to survive in a Spanish speaking country. I am old, male, cis, hetero, basically asexual at this point. I am outgoing, comfortable among strangers.

What's good and bad about where you live? Would it be OK for a outsider, newcomer?

Ireland is full of tech jobs that pay well and that's the only way to live well here right now since basics are so expensive. Housing is a big issue, but that's not just our problem. Come on over, you'd be welcomed.

I would absolutely love to be in Ireland! Well, I mostly just want to sit and listen to the elderly talk about the days before they went to shit.

That sounds like you want to listen to taxi drivers. Elderly people know that things are better now than before.

[-] VintageTech@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah... I just remembered my History classes covering Ireland - it's much better. And boy oh boy if I could afford taxi's!

I don't know why but this is the first place I actually thought to move after Trump won again... I've never even been able to afford a house here...

I would love to take my family to some place that is more accepting of interracial relationships/children. because we all knew it was racist country but I didn't realize how racist it was until trump won again...

I could see them trying to end interracial marriage just like they want to outlaw same sex...

Ireland has its share of racists unfortunately but also fairly open. It's a changing country.

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah racists are everywhere unfortunately... I don't get it.. I know there is a huge drinking problem... But it's Ireland you have to kinda expect that

[-] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I'm not sure but it might be less of a problem with younger generations. They seem to be all round healthier which is great

Yeah bloody racists. It's bringing out the anti racists though which is also great to see.
