    Can I leave the United Sates? Norway or Switzerland would be great. Or Ireland. Or Canada. Look man, can I just get the fuck out of here with my cats?

    Oh… No… I can’t? I’m not a doctor, or an engineer, or a billionaire, so I’m trapped here? Cool.

      Norway or Switzerland

      You just happen to mention some of the only countries in Europe (Iceland and Liechtenstein complete the list) where tuition fees at university are the same for citizens and non-citizens and they are close to free. You’d have to learn Norwegian or French* tho, but that’s not an unatainable goal.

      *Don’t learn German, Swiss-German differs as much from real German as Dutch or Danish. It’s simply misleading that it’s called German and not it’s own language. You wouldn’t understand it after you’ve taken German classes.

      I can’t imagine the intent behind it was to be “competent”; it’s all hack and slash. From a different perspective they’re perfectly competent because they’re destroying undesired things and they provide a lightning rod for public ire.
