Best speech I've ever heard of an FDP politician

I will fight to defend our rights to express ourselves, love who we want, be who we want.

The biggest and most immediate threat to these values are our governments. Implementing surveillance policies under the disguise of protecting children, while failing to bring those to justice that are actually harming them. (Epstein is the current example, the abuse in the church has been known for decades more)

Corrupt politicians are representing the ultra rich and multinationals instead of the people, funneling our tax money into their own pockets and blaming immigrants and asylum seekers when underfunded infrastructure fails. Fueling the fire that enables the political shift to the right without any regard for the consequences.

In short... the answer is NO, there is no government worth fighting for. There is no government that represents me.

Eating out is expensive, I would recommend at least Fr.150 per person per day for food. That should cover 2-3 meals and a coffee, sweet treat, etc.

In Europe it's normal that supermarket prices are significantly cheaper than restaurants. The people preparing our food deserve a living wage.

Sure there will be some fancy ski hut waiting for someone rich or drunk enough to shell out 100k for booze, but just because it exists doesn't mean it's the norm.

100% and it's fully normalised now, I've even switched to UK English spelling myself and on all my devices.

My parents' iMacs are running Linux and everyone is drinking local Kola. My focus is now on encouraging friends and family to join in and helping where I can. (mostly the tech stuff) I also like to throw US and Israeli products to the back of the shelves in supermarkets. Even made some 'Buy European' stickers to put over barcodes.

They MUST have free child care. And MUST send their kids to public schools. Only then will the systems be improved for everyone

And I've never seen fortune's work so well summarized. Conservative Debtslop should be on their cover, right next to their usual lead story of iPhone 20 Lets You Talk to Ghosts, Insider Confirms

Are you working for fortune's marketing department?

Easier said than done, but it's the only way to find peace.

Also signing people up for spam mail can give some temporary satisfaction.

The US have an extraordinary ability to ruin anything. Things are either capitalised or policed

Voting is a good reason to keep the citizenship.

In regards of taxes, if your place of residence collects more than the US would, nothing is actually owed. In the EU most (if not all) countries have much higher tax rates than the US, so the only "crime" would be the failure to file. Not sure if this is why the folks I know are getting away with this.

But generally yes, my friends are not planing to go back and much prefer paying higher taxes in return for accessible healthcare and public transport.

In my circle of friends none of the US Americans living abroad file their tax returns and haven't done so for many years.. especially if you're not planing to move back to the US, I really don't see the need to continue compliance with the IRS or renounce a citizenship. Keep that passport and keep voting. Throw dog shit over the embassy fence.
