I would be moving to Canada ASAP… but I am currently crippled, don’t have a car.
I’m doing physical therapy every day, at home of course, we don’t have healthcare for the poor here, unless you want to owe 50k to 100k to a hospital/insurance…
…its working, i am getting back more capability… but I am not yet at the point where I could shove all my shit into a U Haul or something, not without extreme pain and likely undoing months of progress / re-crippling myself.
I just don’t have enough money saved up, I don’t think, don’t have a passport, do at least have my brith certificate… as best I understand, I’d have to apply for asylum.
Theoretically, I should still be able to continue to recieve US Disability benefits even if I am abroad, and that should be enough for me to survive in like a studio in a small / medium sized town…
…but… at this point, that could basically randomly change without warning, if some random executive order from Trump or new policy from the SSA just decides that those not residing in the US now don’t actually get any money.
Theoretically that would be illegal, but lol, not like our laws are holding together very well these days.
And from what I have heard, on youtube at least, from following a few Canadians… it would seem there is, at best, mixed sentiment as to whether or not Canada should do some kind of mass amnesty type thing, for fleeing Americans.
I dunno, you got opinions or maybe advice around all that?
I’m keen to get the fuck out, but I also don’t want to be a burden.
I suppose I could just pack my most important shit into a large backpack / rucksack or something, take a long haul bus… wouldn’t be the first time I’ve lived out of a backpack, but dear christ, my last run of that literally nearly killed me.
