Oh, I’ve already left. I did that when a US hospital decided my wife’s life was less important than how much money they could make from an ER bed… [1]
I just thought it was pretty weird to be forced to become a citizen, just so I could leave the country without paying 23.8% of my entire net worth, including future income on things like investments, 401k, etc - all in one lump sum. Like that is even possible unless you’re stupid-rich and money doesn’t matter.
So I’m one of very few (I suspect) people in the naturalisation ceremony thinking to myself “fuck you, you motherfuckers, making me implicitly support this shithole of a government” when everyone around me is going nuts about becoming a US citizen…
