Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
My past (albeit limited) research on the topic has indicated that there's probably no country on Earth that lets welfare-dependent schizophrenics immigrate. But (just to double check), if one were to have to flee America (say, come 2029), which countries would be the best shot?
Without savings, the ability to claim us benefits abroad, ancestry, or changing that disabled status, nobody. Ireland would take you if you were irish. Paraguay and portugal if you had even moderate savings. Plenty of places if you're self supporting. You're probably stuck in the US if you can't find any paying task you can do.
Just as I thought. And, no, I don't have any ancestry recent enough to count for another country. You have to go back, like, five generations to reach my most recent immigrant ancestors… and they were Silesian Germans, so no luck there.
So, how would I go about finding a "paying task I can do" in a foreign country?
Or, more likely, you're right, I'm stuck.
And with no hope of fleeing the slaughter to come, then I suppose that just leaves the sort of thing the mods have told me I can't talk about.
Well, if you are absolutely certain that "slaughter" is near, and there is nowhere to run, then the radical solution is to preemptively join the winning side.
If the year is 1913, this is the right time to join the bolshevik party, and when the boog comes, you are not class enemy, but distinguished comrade and old revolutionary veteran.
