What a boneheaded reply. Don’t be a fuckwit. Cut the ableism, lack of awareness, personal privilege, and national differences. What are people with disabilities supposed to do? People who don’t or can’t drive? People talking care of their infirmed family? People without the thousands of dollars needed to enter a country and live there without a job until they find one that will sponsor them?

According to you, they should take the risk on being sent back to the US poorer than when they started, end up homeless in a strange place, and/or let their family members die alone without support.

I say this as a US citizen trying to get out and having done a TON of digging into what it takes to leave here specifically and go to a European country. There’s more involved than you seem to know. And a boatload of risks.

Not everyone lives where and how you do.

It’s not easy. The oversimplification here is absolutely off the wall. You don’t know their situation, so saying “just leave” in the most blasé way possible because you were lucky enough for it to be easy for you is borderline insulting. Family, pets, financial situation, medical situation, and so many other factors play a role in why someone can’t up and leave. It costs a lot to immigrate and move thousands of miles away. Not to mention language barriers.

It’s very real. Ruined people’s lives and even negatively impacted plants and animals nearby. He also performed an experiment on people at a con with a control group and a group being hit with infrasound to prove out the effects.

Benn Jordan has an excellent video on this where he investigated infrasound and spoke to people impacted by it. Well worth watching.

Agree. I switched to Kagi a couple of years ago and I won’t go back.
