Gonna be even more fun when all the empty trucks leaving from the empty west-coast ports I’ve been reading about for the past few days become empty shelves over the next few weeks. The real pain hasn’t even started yet.

Yes, comrades, Emmanuel Goldstein has struck again. Obviously this is all his doing.

Would if I had somewhere to go. It’s cute that you think we can just snap our fingers and immigrate somewhere, but while most countries are happy to have Americans show up at the drop of a hat to spend money as tourists, nobody wants us staying there to live. Unless you have a ton of money, advanced degrees in an in-demand field, or a job waiting for you and willing to sponsor your visa, moving abroad is very difficult. I have none of those things, so unless I win the lottery I’m pretty much boned. Or until I have a legit asylum claim, or Austria decides having an Austrian great-grandfather is enough to qualify you for birthright citizenship, whichever comes first.

I think that pretty much sums up the entire ethos of Silicon Valley these days.
