One of the first comments in that thread is encouraging them to ditch Reddit and join Lemmy. Good stuff.

Financial experts are seeing a spike in affluent working Americans looking to resettle in Europe.
Arielle Tucker is the founder of Connected Financial Planning, a company that helps Americans relocate to Europe.
Tucker received more than 30 new American clients in the week after Trump’s reelection, a level of interest that’s been sustained throughout the last few months.
Many of Tucker’s clients are in their mid-30s or early 40s and work in executive roles in tech, pharmaceuticals or finance.

Yet again, the average working-class person is left behind to suffer the worst effects of the policies that these people largely voted for and now cowardly run from.

No alternative to Reddit while including a Reddit link at the bottom is killing me.

Under the right director, with the right story, Jared Leto can be absolutely brilliant. There are plenty of examples of this, from 'Requiem for a Dream' to 'Dallas Buyers Club'. Unfortunately, the stars have to align perfectly for him to be anything other than a cringe factory of hammy over-acting. I don't know who is directing the new Tron, but the odds of them being the right person to pull a good performance out of Leto are not great. I'd like to be wrong, and I hope I am, but probably not. He's probably going to chew the scenes in the worst way, as he usually does, and be the worst part of the movie, as he usually is.

It's Floribama. So yeah. Total shit hole.

30% saying this has no impact on their daily lives.

"The eco-terrorists are just as bad as the Nazis!"

I've seen Reddit do the same thing for years and always wondered why. It's super annoying.

If you scroll down beneath the article, there are links to other articles. The graphic is from one called 'Markets tumble as China announces 34% retaliatory tariffs on US imports'. No idea why Lemmy decided to grab that particular image for this post, though.

Insurance is the biggest racket in the world. They literally looked at mobsters running protection schemes on local businesses and said "I bet that's scalable." It's why I will never have sympathy for people like Brian Thompson. He chose to do gangster shit and he got whacked. Them's the fuckin' breaks, pal.

Florida beaches have mosquitos too. And sand fleas. It doesn't seem to stop women from wearing bikinis.

I loved that show back in the day. Nigel Bennett is such a solid character actor. I don't remember how it ended though, which I guess means I need to re-watch it.

I lived in Florida for 20+ years. The beach is wildly overrated. Unless you surf or dive (and FL sucks for surfing), there's literally nothing to do except walk and sit on sand. Though I will say this: if you're allowed to have a bonfire on the beach at night, it becomes infinitely more fun. But that's pretty much banned in FL.

So yeah, I will opt for the forest almost every time.
