This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

From the numbers in that article it's about 1 in every 2000 Americans going in 2025. Surprisingly high rates.

9600 last year, so less than 1 in every 30000.

That's only to Ireland. It was 180,000 left the US in total.

Further down it says:

"at least 180,000 Americans" voluntarily left the US in 2025, which it said was a record high.
