Maybe that sounds petulant and taking my ball and going home, but when a very loud minority is allowed to just run roughshod over the political agenda, we're no better than a lot of countries out there.

The recent shift to 100% work at home for both of us has made this more than just a pipe dream. We shall see what happens. But it's not getting any better anytime soon, just seems like it's going to get worse and worse for a while.

We actually had the talk too and I have dual British/US citizenship, but a move would not be financially prudent for me with only a few years to retirement, but who knows.

I am fed up with the bullshit in our government, and disappointed in our regression as a country when it comes to unity and acceptance, but making that big a move at this point would be rash.
