Avatar director, who moved to New Zealand after the Covid pandemic says he will soon be a citizen of a country where people ‘are, for the most part, sane’
Yup. I mean, I get it, but I would not advertise it. If everyone jumped ship, those that simply couldn’t would drown within it, so he isn’t exactly helping the situation. Need every vote possible, and dollar for that matter.
I mean, remaining on a sinking ship doesn’t save anyone else from drowning. Some people have a life raft, I can’t blame them for using it. I would get out if I could, cause things don’t seem to be getting better anytime soon except on the off chance the midterms actually save us.
Ideally, the folks getting away on the life rafts wouldn’t be determined by how much money they have. Maybe send the most vulnerable first, and the people with the means to resist stay behind. But that’s not how this situation works, unfortunately.
It’s a crabs-in-a-bucket situation. Why pull down the ones who can escape?
Honestly, if I was relatively wealthy, odds are that I would tuck tail and run away from the US. Unfortunately, my poverty has backed me into a corner. Flight isn’t an option, only fight.
Yerp, the wealthy are always insulated from the problems they create. And then they get upset when we try to tax them to contribute to fixing those problems.
“It doesn’t affect me, why should I pay for it?” “Motherfucker, you caused it!”

If you think America is a sinking ship, what does that indicate about the continued safety of NZ?
Huh? New Zealand is in much better shape than america.
You let the fucking same wolves in!
Jesus Christ people can’t be serious right now,
Why are you assuming I’m from New Zealand? All I know is they don’t have federal agents going around executing people extrajudicially in the streets…
