Dude, it's over, you won. You don't have to pretend to believe that bullshit anymore.

The only nice thing about this election is I don't have to give two shits about Podesta's e-mails or the random insane bullshit people like you imagine are in them anymore.

Why in the world would the GOP ever leave the filibuster in place? Mitch will remove it at the beginning of the 115th Congress. Boom. Now Obamacare can be repealed with simple majority. I bet you dollars to donuts that insurance prices , however, will not go back down to pre-Obamacare prices. Because profits.

The fact that prices went up at all shows there is a huge problem. We're already paying more than anyone else in the world, why can't we get something for our money instead of having to pay even more?

Because politicians don't represent you, they represent the people paying their bills.

Sounds simplistic but if you look at the system as a whole, ask who its benefitting the most, doesnt seem to be the electorate.

We have the same problem in the UK, it got us Brexit and you folks Trump.

As Michael Moore said when he predicted a trump win, "It's the biggest fuck you they can send".

Good riddance. Canada is great, until you realize you need the US healthcare system for any major surgery (unless you want to wait years) and you truly don't have the freedom of speech.

Please don't repost comments, especially uncivil and unsubstantive ones, when the community has appropriately flagkilled the previous.

My wife is an American and we live together here in Denmark. If you move, please reach out. We'll be glad to welcome you!

How did you handle permanent residency requirements for your wife? I'm a Danish citizen, with the fiancé being a US citizen - and my understanding is that it wouldn't be easy for us to live in Denmark due to us having an unreasonable burden in demonstrating attachment to Denmark vs the US ( https://www.information.dk/indland/2016/07/nye-regler-famili... ) --- and with the president-elect having talked about pausing l…

She's doesn't hold a permanent visa yet. It needs renewal every year, and after 5 years, she just needs to apply for a permanent one. We were lucky, since I have 3 kids from a previous relationship, so my attachment to Denmark is nonnegotiable. It took 5 months for our family reunification visa to go through.

In regards to your visa in the US, I think you should just wait it out. I doubt it'll get paused overnight, since the business impacts would be too great.

For Americans coming from NYC or SF, is the cost of living really that much higher?

I can only speak for myself having lived in Copenhagen/Boston/NYC; cost of living is lower in Copenhagen, but so are salaries, expect a huge cut in pay as well as on your ability to live a comfortable life on a tech salary. In NYC I can do a normal sit down lunch at $40 multiple times a week, without really batting an eye - whereas that would be painful in Denmark - on the plus side you usually have catered lunch whi…

Healthcare in Denmark is just fine in my opinion. We also hold a private insurance through work.

What is it you feel you need to wait for?

Also, in regards to salary: Yes, it's lower overall. But it's still high, especially in the tech sector. I get paid roughly the same as my US counterparts (we have offices in Copenhagen and New York).

Would Muslim Americans be welcome, given current trends?

Here is what a quick google search throws: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151220/05391733140/denma... http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/26/europe/denmark-vote-jewelry-bi... Suffice to say not exactly a paragon of liberty and freedom for all. But it might work for white techno elites for whom being not in US/UK and writing web apps is all they want.

That law hasn't been used once.

It's also the same if you get government benefits. If your wealth exceeds 10.000 DKK, you will have to use your own money to get by, until you run out.
