Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

.... Until you need a job.
I need a job so yeah, I did angrily send my passport to persona. What can I do? No job means I'll have to remigrate back, I'll lose everything I have built here for the past 5 years.
So I need linkedkn as half the jobs are there now.
Not that it mattered. I sent out hundreds of job resumes by now, and I had literally a single reply.
I did get an offer from a company, pay us 10.000 dollars and we will get you a great job, no guarantees though. Thry actually do seem to work, not directly a scam, but what the fuck, why is it that this is how i need to get a job?
Either way, its fucked and its done. 2 months from now I'll be living in a different country because I have gotten exactly a single interview in 2 months so far...
I'm in IT, so that's fucked, but I'm also on a work permit that requires anyone who wants to hire me to jump through a few hundred hoops, and they may need to wait 2-16 months (!!!!!!!!!!) for me to get the required permissions to start. Granted, 16 months is an extremely worst case scenario, BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY as laid out to me by multiple immigration lawyers by now. I'm highly qualified, I'm very nice in person, respectful and calm, I can build up your entire IT department myself as I've worked literally at every position from the lowest to the highest. I have broad knowledge about almost everything IT. I'm willing to take low level jobs if that will get me something.
Nothing
So I'm fucked and fuck this world
