    This is something you learn the hard way about neoliberal meritocracy…“They only hire the best and you fight to get there, you’re the best until you inevitably aren’t at your best…and once you aren’t at your best even for a moment of weakness, then you are not the best…and you never were”. This is why everyone needs protection from a work culture that burns through people.

      You are all welcome to Europe for that. Come on over.

        Right, I’ll just conjure up a work visa for my bullshit job, sell my house and belongings, and leave my family and friends behind. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

        Europe’s going through a pretty big racist anti-immigrant phase, so probably not the best of ideas.

              🤷‍♂️ “Europeans”.

              I’m tolerant of Romani. Everyone I know is as well. My extended family even employs this lady to do some cleaning chores so she can support her family back in Romania.

              There’s always gonna be racist jerks. Shall we talk about the racism against black and Spanish people in America right now?

              It’s better in Europe. I didn’t say it’s perfect.

                the US is literally throwing brown ppl into cages without due process. there’s no comparison. anyone trying to equate the two has lost the plot.

          Who’s downvoting this??? It’s literally true. Listen to any debate of european legislatures on immigration and they will just say the things the American right has dogwhistles for.

          Maybe, but you got to give the honest people a chance to prove themselves

            They don’t need to leave the US to create a brain drain. It’s happening naturally haha
