    it is still very easy to get a passport. I helped a friend get theirs last month, and more over the years.

    don’t listen to any of the ignorant comments saying it’s difficult to get one; they don’t know what they’re talking about.

    you can do it online or in person at a US Post office.

    fill out the application form, takes maybe 20 minutes tops, pay the fee (165$), they take your picture, you will get your passport in the mail in a couple of weeks, it lasts for 10 years, renewable on the go from embassies and consulates.

    If you have any questions about passports or traveling, fire away.

        yea, but $16 a year for an instant 50-90% reduced cost of living with guaranteed high-pay employment and no income tax while retaining access to consular services is a pretty good deal.

        not as good as 7 bucks a year, but I’m not exactly going to quibble over the extra ten in the face of all the benefits.

          why do you keep saying lower cost of living?

          If you go homeless you can also have a lower cost of living.

          Contrary to popular belief, if you’re dead, the cost of living is zero.

            “why do you keep saying lower cost of living?”

            because a lot of americans are poor and scared because they are poor.

            move abroad, they aren’t poor and can rapidly save money.

            A lower cost of living means you have more money.

            I’m…not sure I can make this simpler for you, so I hope one of those sticks.

            “If you go homeless you can also have a lower cost of living.”

            Incorrect. You aren’t living the same way, you are merely surviving which I’ve already pointed out in my earlier comments by specifying the easy accessibility of a lower cost of living while retaining the same or better services.

            You can go homeless if you want, but that’s your own playpen, not my recommendation.

            “Contrary to popular belief, if you’re dead, the cost of living is zero.”

            How did you not know this before now?

            What did you think dead people were spending money on?

              yeah but we aren’t talking about emmigration, we’re talking about passports, passports make travel legal. They don’t allow you to emmigrate. (technically they do facilitate it, but you also need a lot of paper work with whatever country you’re moving to)

              Incorrect. You aren’t living the same way, you are merely surviving which I’ve already pointed out in my earlier comments by specifying the easy accessibility of a lower cost of living while retaining the same or better services.

              says who? You seem to think money comes from schizophrenia central, rather than like, a company that somebody works at. Or a job that they have, if you’re homeless, you would be spending 0 money on cost of living, and therefore have SO MUCH MONEY.

              How did you not know this before now?

              sarcasm, satire even.

              What did you think dead people were spending money on?

              If i had the same level of intelligence as you, cost of living.

                “yeah but we aren’t talking about emmigration”

                There you go! I just have to keep repeating the same thing and knew you’d eventually catch on. Spelling notwithstanding.

                'They don’t allow you to emmigrate."

                Not what we’re talking about, remember there champ?

                “but you also need a lot of paper work with whatever country you’re moving to”

                Incorrect.

                “if you’re homeless, you would be spending 0 money on cost of living, and therefore have SO MUCH MONEY.”

                What did…that’s it.

                Sweet summer child, homeless people in america without income make even less than your vaunted capitalists in America, again because the cost of living is so high. Homeless people with an income are not going to be saving any money. Because they don’t have an income.

                No wonder you thought dead people spend money.

                Dude. Book. Read.

                You’re hopelessly lost.

                You can also ask questions, so you stop sounding so ignorant.

                Your comments are embarrassing to read.

                Stop acting so scared. Ask some real questions. You can learn here.

      Do you prioritize not having illegal status in another country over your own ability to stay alive and stay safe?

        They deport you. Do you have confidence in evading authorities and working menial jobs under the table for a lifetime?

        That’s the point.

        I don’t think the United States is going to turn into freaking Yemen. It’s not good for your mental health and those surrounding you to start thinking you are actually going to get executed or something like that.

      other countries treat travelers very nicely. even Vietnam, which is the only country I was kind of nervous about visiting.

      staying and fixing the country isn’t really worth it right now, that’s like suggesting someone stay in an abuseive household and “fix” their abusive father.

      get out of the house first, go from there.

              “creatures that only exist in fiction?”

              Why are you asking me?

              “Like your comments?”

              Kid, the lines of reality are clearly blurred for you, but these comments are happening right now. They are not fiction.

              I pity you, sincerely. You must have a difficult life.

                you asked me lil bro.

                Kid, the lines of reality are clearly blurred for you, but these comments are happening right now. They are not fiction.

                advanced internet users like myself call this “humor” or “comedy” the joke here is that i’m making fun of your nonsensical comments by calling back to the previous comment you left, after responding to it, that would be referred to as “witt” or “witty humor”

                I pity you, sincerely. You must have a difficult life.

                thinking these jokes up is really hard, takes me all day.

                  no I didn’t sport, you got yourself all turned around

                  “advanced internet users like myself call this “humor”…”

                  just keep trying, I’m sure you’ll get there one day.
