I would say sad if not for the fact that I'm not going to visit some third world country where I could get killed by thugs or mad men or get indefinitely detained by a petty dictator.

Right? There are places where a couple hundred thousand USD will buy citizenship and a really nice home, affording one a place among the landed gentry, and less subject to the negative aspects of the totalitarianism. You'd just have to praise the leader when questioned. If people in the US are going to have to do that for a $450k house and barely enough wage to afford it while having to praise the leader, it makes other options start looking more appealing. Having said that, feudal lords don't like economically mobile serfs, so wages will continue to diverge from GDP per capita until workers own nothing and can't leave.

They're already kidnapping citizens.
Weren't they starting with the shit hole in Florida while rfk Jr tried to plan out replacing ssris with being farm labor?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
