That used to be a popular destination. Most have returned.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Those who can afford to leave should. Why stay in a ***** storm?
I'm looking forward to turning in my US Passport.

Do you intend to renounce your US citizenship?
Obviously turning in your passport would not do that.

We bounced around the notion of leaving. The wife was a very strident NO on France. I would only consider CR or Belize or NV etc. were I single and relatively thin on resources.
I'm willing to pay more to live here for the stability and overall quality of life.

Yes, I do plan on renouncing my US citizenship.
Yes, I know this. I have plans on getting my Singapore citizenship. I will become a permanent resident. After two years I can apply for citizenship. My cousin went through the process and has her Singapore citizenship. She's been there since 1996.Â
We have put together a plan for both of us. She gets a permanent work permit and I get citizenship. That's the short version.

Guess which state has the most mooooooooslims? NJ.
The moooooooooslims in Singapore are from South Asia and China (sunni). The mooooooooooslims in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen (shia).
We have contingency plans. Bangkok/Vicenza/Tokyo.
We'll be fine.
