Prior to 1989, when Eastern Europeans fled to the United States to escape communism, I never imagined that four decades later, American’s would be fleeing to Europe to escape fascism.

@randahl you don’t escape the tax system which is a problem. The US is only one of two countries to tax based on citizenship and has an expectation to know all of your finances when you don’t even live there.

@randahl no one could or would have. USA always was problematic in some ways at the same time always had many positive & great counter points to make up for them. At this point it is not possible anymore to outweigh the harsh reality of USA being a fascist rogue state, weak and brittle. I just hope it turns back to its best glory form.

"tight box!"

Oh Randahl Fink, by 2035 everyone will be gathered in Denmark or higher as climate refugees.

Sorry Mr. Fink, I just like to say things with humor. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@randahl

A similar movement happened also in the 1950s during #mccarthyism albeit on a much smaller scale. Creative industries in #europe benefitted as a result. This was especially the case in the #uk . Worth recalling that #roycohn - later a mentor to #trump - was also #mccarthy's right hand man at the time!

@randahl with the only difference that we don't have enough strength to go and free them.
