Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to get rid of citizen's united and implement independent district drawing and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Good luck finding a house for $450k and living without medical insurance.

I have to say, thats still a large swath of the US. Also depending on the interest rate, it could be better to have the mortgage rather than bought outright.

I also know a few folks who do just enough work to get medical insurance, and they really enjoy it that way. They have enough from their investments, and the ~30hr/wk they work is enough to get medical, dental, and vision. One works a horse stable, another worked at Starbucks for a while (when it still seemed like a decent company). At that point, there was enough return from investments that she started her own coffee shop (and brought in a couple other employees from Starbucks she really liked working with).

$2 million is still plenty for most people.

Edit:

Max $450k, 4br, 2ba, sorted by price high to low.

You can get more for less depending on location, but there you go.
