I'm Hiding 🇦🇺

I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

    I live on the other side of the world, so my chances of going to the US are much lower than yours. Nonetheless, I have always maintained the same opinion.

    It is not worth going to the United States. If I say the wrong thing or step in the wrong place, I’ll be shot or sued or both, probably in that order. And if I’m injured, I’ll be financially ruined.

    If my employer wishes me to go to France or Switzerland or Japan, who they do business with regularly, I will be willing to go. But if they ask me to go to the United States, who they also do business with, I will refuse even at risk of losing my job, which I like very much. I believe it is one of the most dangerous “civilised”, “western” countries now, at least to outsiders.
