RE: Our future.
Emigrate from the USA to where?
We have people all over the world RISKING THEIR LIVES and BREAKING THE LAW to come here even as we speak.
I know a Russkie guy, his wife and him just got their citizenship last year, awful proud too. Reason why he wanted out was racism. He was ethnic German, his ancestors came to Russia during Catherine the Great's tenure as farmers invited in to develop the land which was like our wild west. They faced ethnic racism even in Siberia. He even changed his name to a more Russian sounding form trying to fit in, but said he was a marked man. Couldn't get good employment, always feeling the racism even though his people had been Russkies for 300 years. His wife and him came to USA on scholarship,(very highly educated)and stayed. Raising their kids as Americans, achieving the American dream, just bought their first home; but still prefers the Russkie Hockey players first, ha ha. Good guy, conservative, and will raise a good family, respectable & an attribute to his community. Tells me that no matter what happens here economically, America will always be light years ahead of what life was like in Russia.
I have met other Russians here in Alaska who said that some things were better in Russia, like basic health care. One lady told me her first child birth was free in Russia, her second child cost 8K in the USA. She also said that in Russia, everybody got a 2 week vacation at a cabin, for her on the blk sea, National law or something. Bu she wasn't going back either all in all. She realized economics was the basis for a good life and it was better in Alaska than Russia.
WE have always had quite few Russkies in Ak, proximity. Heck we can see Russia from here.
