I currently live in California, but it's literally impossible to afford to buy a house.

Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I'm not sure I could handle the snow.

I got German citizenship. Took starting over and doing a degree in the country for it to be possible. I also brought fluffy and we did a rabies antibody test and some other things so they didn't need quarantine.

Edit: This is why I said you need to humble yourself. Maybe that was a poor choice of wording, but the US is a sinking ship and I'd sell all my belongings again if things start looking that dire here too.

Well, Germany is on that track, I'd say, with the Nazis on the rise and the general opposition to just about any kind of change at every level of daily life, absolute digital incompetence and a bureaucratic apparatus that mainly works for keeping itself alive.

Yes, sadly you seem right.
