I am so frequently paralyzed by anger at the idiocy of our current government and the things that we debate/fund/ignore that I find myself looking at what i costs to live in another country and how I could work there again...

Every bill that discusses billions of dollars for arms or other invasive moves in another country, instead of handling our own broken medical and social infrastructure, not to mention corporate and environmental fuckups --well, see above paragraph. It's lunacy.
