Before the election results came out, a lot of celebrities had declared that they will be immigrating to other countries (especially Canada and Mexico), if Trump becomes the President of the United States. Almost one month has passed since he won the elections, and none of the celebrities have renounced their American passports.
I doubt that anyone would agree to surrender his American passport, but that's not it. The fact that a very large number of people do not support policies Trump will bring more tension in the society. You exaggerate This is the era of Slacktivism. Most of the effort you can get out of millenials is a like on Facebook. Even at those Dakota Access protests, not counting the locals who had an actual incentive to do something, all the protesters were professional protesters (some were Canadian / European) and middle-aged university academia who took vacation time. Only time millenials went out in droves was those Occupy Wall Street protesters and they were predominately white millenials too. Those young white people will be Trump's support base if he does deliver on jobs.

The real reason is White Man's Burden and the elites' fear of other white people. Traditional White Elites cannot imagine a scenario where lighter-skinned Asians, let alone 'brown people', are the inheritors / controllers of Earth. To the eyes of these white overlords, the only people who can compete against them are other white people - hence the hostility towards countries like Russia but also internal-hostility towards their own white people. This internal hostility towards white people manifests itself into class warfare and a term we call 'Cultural Marxism'. The elites push the 'browning' of society through the refugees / mass immigration, and even promote racial mixing, but with few exceptions the traditional white elite marry within their ranks and have few non-whites non-elite acquaintances. There had been a few exceptions to it, if you go back a hundred years, like Kaiser Wilhelm and Randolph Hearst who saw Asians as a threat. Donald Trump, although more concerned about Latinos, does seem to view China and Japanese as potential adversaries to the traditional white elite. Otherwise the white elite today only fear other white people - for they, in the eyes of these elites, are the only ones who can replace / challenge their iron-fist rule of earth. The elites are racist and anti-racist ~ after all, they invented both terms.

Reminds me of the purge when the politicians go around murdering the poor.

New Economy Movement (XEM) When the New Economy Movement emerges, a utopian light will shine on this world and all prisoners (who are political prisoners of the regime) will be freed.

I was interested when I found out you could work towards a permanent residency. Then I thought about it and thought maybe it's not realistic. What's the odds for maintaining a work visa, although there is a 30 day window, for 4 years? That means you cannot ever get fired or, if you get fired, then you get 30 days to lineup a job but most English teaching positions only hire twice a year. Seems the easiest way, so long as you have money laying around, is to stay on a student visa studying some fluff or investing $150,000.

It's the same in the UK. I have a friend, who left the UK because of growing costs of living and moved to Australia. Not really a third world country, but he's really happy there. He used to have a business in the UK and couldn't afford anything besides a typical daily life, so if you're thinking of moving to Europe from the US, think twice. As for the Philippines I also have a friend who lives there and he spends most of his year working abroad in Australia and Germany as a salesman. He said to me once that it's very hard to live and work in his country and people usually live in poverty or work abroad.
Australia has fairly high wages and arguably low cost of living. You can get a roommate situation for as low as $600 AUD a month and yet make $2,880 a month. You speak as if to go to Australia is easy. You tried to live at 40 degrees and 100% humidity? Besides, there are very many poisonous snakes, crocodiles and spiders. In the ocean, sharks and poisonous sea animals, and jellyfish. And you're speaking like it's easy to live in cold climate. I had a chance to live in a house heated by a coal furnace with temperatures close to -10*C outside and it's no fun either. -10*C is warm I had been waking up to -30*C for the last days. The urban legend of everything past -5 feels the same isn't true at all. I can crack open the window and my hair will freeze. You can go to sleep with 4 blankets on and still wake up freezing, because almost no building is insulated for this extreme weather. I don't bother with winter jackets but thermal underwear and thermal undershirts can be very expensive. In addition to heating, a big cost people in warmer climates don't know about is vehicle. You need 2 sets of tires, 1 being winter tires and they go up to $1,000. Almost everyone also has been rear-ended or trashed their car because of driving conditions.

Definitely not the egalitarian distribution.
There's probably been 50+ projects which tried it and only 1 lives to to this day - NEM. What happens with these equal distributions is everything becomes dump city, as people scramble to get their free $5-$500, and you're lucky if even 1% becomes active participants in terms of marketing or development.
In truth, the thing with the best track record so far seems to be PoW - although many PoW projects have been failures, I think 8 or 9 of the coins in the top 10 in CMC are PoW.

Limiting your options because of a Girlfriend sounds like a bad move, overall. There's billions of women in Asia.
There's plenty of bilaterial Holiday Visa agreements between USA and foreign countries, and the age cut off is 30 and sometimes age 35. Americans can go to Australia and make $33,000 from an ordinary minimum wage job.
There's opportunities to make $1,000 to $2,500 USD a month teaching English in a number of Asian countries. Granted in Bitcointalk's case, where half the posters are dropouts who somehow stumbled onto a help desk position in the early 2000s, most of you would probably be limited to teaching illegally in China but the underemployed university graduates should look into this option.
