I can't read the first link; it's behind a paywall.

So how many Americans leaving constitutes "record numbers"?

And are these people who have made their fortunes here in America, where opportunity is greater than anywhere else in the world, THEN leaving? That doesn't really help your argument if that's the case, does it?

EDIT: AI says there were 4,889 renunciations of citizenship in 2025. Wow. I don't know if our population can survive that kind of outflow. That's a whopping .00143%.

In just one year.

Because you clearly read all the intersectional nonsense that touts those ideas.

Just like the hilarious notion that the current United States isn't the best place on Earth, now or at any time in the past.

I mean, those ideas are equally silly, so if you'll believe one because your Marxist propaganda says so, why should I think you'd see through the other?

So, what country are you envisioning you and your family relocating to that will offer you something more than the inflation and empty promises of your current one?

I don't have the capacity to plan an international move for my family right now. Acknowledging that our government has sold out the American people isn't a plan to flee the country.

Must be tough living your life off false beliefs and that everything you believe and worship are lies.

So, you are choosing instead to saddle your children with inflation and empty promises, along with the prospects of being cannon fodder for a government that has sold them out? Seems pretty callous and unthoughtful.

I feel as if, I'd want to quickly come up with a plan if I felt it was all so bleak.

If you did, where would you go?

Well...

1. If that's what you really think and you think that represents some significant happening, why WOULDN'T you flee the country?

2. You sound like the populist conspiracy addicts here. Whatever you mean by your pseudo-Marxist graduate school buzzwords "sold out the American people" has doubtless been the case in some form since the country was founded.

And this place STILL ended up becoming the best place the planet has ever seen.

I found a different article with this info:

quote:

The U.S. government doesn’t officially track the number of Americans who’ve resettled abroad, so estimates of just how many people left can vary.

In 2025, net outward migration was between negative 10,000 and negative 295,000 people, Brookings estimates, forecasting a similar negative trend for 2026.

Others have pegged the outflow at around 150,000 people in 2025.

Before 2009, a typical year saw 200 to 400 people renounce their citizenship. By 2025, that figure was nearing 5,000, with more renunciations expected this year because fees to do so have dropped steeply.

Nearly all of the European Union’s 27 member states have seen record levels of Americans arriving to live and work there in recent years, a Wall Street Journal analysis found.

Outside of Europe, Mexico is another popular destination.

I'm choosing to continue working to improve the place in which I live. I consider myself more than just a consumer. Weird that you think there's nothing to improve here, otherwise you would have moved, correct?

No place is perfect.

I have to think there is a pretty wide gulf between an imperfect place and the dire situation you seem to have laid out for the current state of our nation, seemingly compared to wherever else you may have envisioned.

Or have you just been spouting a bunch of shite?

What specifically do you disagree with? What optimism does the government spark that am I overlooking?

Because the Lying Media (MSM) will not say a word. We send out, on average, to over 8 different forums information that, within 12 hours, will reach over 100k people, with so much of the material sent including a request the receiver do the very same thing.

On this forum, I am able to relax and vent while laughing out loud many times.
