Move, Canada is a shit hole
Um idk man they got better healthcare than us down in the ole hickville USA. π
Cheaper you mean
I mean I would rather get some healthcare than none because I canβt afford it so that makes it better.
Real
I'm starting to think that no place is left that isn't turning into a shit hole.
Very helpful, I'll up-root everything tomorrow.
Anywhere you recommend?
China. They will be the next super power and housing is cheap.
Oh yeah, and so little spying and the privacy of their citizens is respected, I know
You're absolutely right, but if everyone goes authoritarian . . . they are likely to end up on top /s
Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking.... Wait we are talking about the US right?
No, the topic was Canada and moving to China for less surveillance and more privacy, my confused friend. The west is regressing to where China already is and then plus some.
If you mean Internet monitoring and social media policing... Wait are we talking about the UK?
Vpn's are banned there too.
