    At the risk of getting too political, I live right on the border between two countries, and the difference is pretty stark. I am watching my country implode in real time. I've seen it coming for about 20 years, but now the rot is accelerating and my concerns are more ... specific. Plus I am a member of a class of people that is specifically being targeted by reactionary elements in my country, and that's only going to get worse in coming years. I have a lot of reasons for leaving.

    To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

    You're an old, white, Conservative male? :-D

    If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

      Poe's law stalks this response. That's all I can say here.

        Is Monkey Pox the new COVID? Is it possible to discuss this without going into the obvious geo-political ramifications. Does anyone have a problem with the coincidence of all of this?

        Covid conspiracy theories, like their flat earth, fake moonlanding and crop circle cousins have long since and many times been disproved and debunked. I figured the Code Project crowd were a more intelligent bunch...

          Poe's law is necessary in any medium of communication where facial and body queues are missing. It's been that way since FidoNet, if not before.

            Intelligence and education levels seems to have no correlation to gullibility. That holds true in political and religious arenas as well.

              There was nothing else I could say in response that wouldn't dive into the political arena so I stayed my hand.
