Apparently, all the locations around the world to Renounce citizenship are booked full.


Who here would do it if it came to it?

Do you remember when the banks were bailed out in 2009? Where’s your outrage over that?

If we have “socialism” in this country, it is for the benefit of Big Business and the wealthy.

Well, this one is moving back after a dozen years of being an expat.

I am working on dual citizenship. This country is going to hell and I definitely need another option. I would prefer not renounce my US citizenship but you never know.

They were loans and the USG actually made a nice profit off the interest paid back.
Did you know that ?

Yes, it worked out rather well.

But government took ownership interest in private business. When GM became "Government Motors", that is socialist behavior. Does saying that was a good thing make one a socialist? Certainly more logical than those saying Biden is one.

There should be an equivalent to the Darwin award for people who improve a country by leaving it.

You certainly do not improve it by non-stop importing of 3rd world migrants that have no skills, education, or benefit other than manual labor.

I'm afraid my medical condition keeps me from answering. When I reached adulthood, the organ that made me feel I had to justify my decisions to strangers completely atrophied.

Investment is easier. A lot of legal work and tracing family roots the ancestry route. Greece is the target, but Portugal is an option. Montenegro has a good program as well, but not yet EU member.
