      Voting rights groups have said the bill will pose a barrier for millions of American women and others who have changed their legal name because of marriage, assimilation or to better align with their gender identity. An estimated 69 million American women and 4 million men do not have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.

        I think many people also aren’t aware that you still have legal obligation to pay taxes to the US even if you move outside of the US. You’ll have to pay income tax to the US and whatever country you move to. Double tax burden.

            It’s called the foreign earned income exclusion.

            Yeah, due to the high inflation, it’s gone up to $126,500 in 2024 from $107,600 in 2020.

        its even harder if you dont have a degree. The only people who really can get out are white collar types. Trade certs dont mean too much abroad + you have to have a job offer before you can get a work permit in most places ive looked at.
