You have to wonder how long 'Obamacare' is going to last now with a Republican president, congress and senate...

> You have to wonder how long 'Obamacare' is going to last now with a Republican president, congress and senate... I don't think the Republicans have enough people in the Senate to block filibusters. So I assume the Democrats will use the filibuster to block repeals of the healthcare law.

NYTimes has an article describing how they can effectively dismantle large portions of Obamacare:

The snarky reply to the "moving to Canada" thing is: why don't all these California liberals want move to Mexico? It's closer, isn't it?

It's pretty clear what you are insinuating, but Canada is more culturally similar to the US, and not Mexico. Also not to forget I have to learn Spanish.

well, French is not easier than Spanish. Culturally similar than Mexico and California? LOL!

I have lived extensively in NL and Denmark. Would give an arm and a leg to move there again. Need to find a job for myself and wife there

What is it like for an American making the move? What were the best and worst parts?

First paying the heavy Dutch taxes, then having to pay US taxes because you're still a citizen.

I recently moved from France to Germany, and the biggest cultural gap so far is that people in here respect traffic lights and using a qwerty keyboard. Otherwise, most people speak English and the lifestyle is similar.

Don't they use QWERTZ keyboards?

Yes. And France is AZERT and UK is almost like the US one but with minor differences

But I just set it to US-Intl (wherever the place) and be done with it. I don't look at what's drawn on the keyboard

That "structural favouritism towards less populated areas" is a very old design feature of American democracy. Without it, everywhere but a small band in each coast would become politically irrelevant, much like it's already ignored by the media.

That sounds awful, until you realize just how many people live in those "small bands".

I'm not 100% sure: here's a quote – 'I didn't "flee" America. What I fled are tribalistic homo-apes who have reverted back to simply responding to their instincts. Just a bunch of reactionary emotions without rational thought.'

Did he find the homo-apes to be less reverted in Spain?

So far, so good as far as I know.
