There are lots of American citizens living in other countries around the world while keeping their American citizenship. I've met lots who prefer living overseas to living in the U.S but they keep their citizenship.

Is that a problem?


Yes. The problem is all those people that find nirvana somewhere else, or promise to move because some political figure wins an election, they NEVER move. It's just pure unadulterated BS. I am calling every one of them on their BS because as far as I can tell almost 2 months after the election they are all sitting on their lazy asses:

  • Bryan Cranston said he’d move to Canada, the most popular destination—and also far above the United States in the latest economic-freedom rankings.
  • Raven-Symoné—whom I only knew as a Cosby kid but apparently now is some sort of impresario—said she’d move to Canada, indeed already had a ticket, “if any Republican gets nominated [did she mean elected?].”
  • Neve Campbell, who’s already Canadian, would return to her (and my) home province of Ontario.
  • ChloĂ« Sevigny likewise had a particular Canadian province in mind, Nova Scotia.
  • Lena Dunham was even more specific, pointing to Vancouver as her choice. “I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will.” I can’t confirm reports that Dunham is being sued for not doing so by the not-insignificant number of people who voted for Trump on this basis alone.
  • Barbra Streisand was picking between Canada and Australia (which is also freer than America).
  • Chelsea Handler has a house in Spain already, and threatened to move there permanently.
  • Amy Schumer also promised to move to Spain “or somewhere.”
  • George Lopez said he’d go back to Mexico.
  • Samuel L. Jackson had perhaps the most original choice: South Africa.

And I forgot the Queen of BS:
