General Discussion

in Canada too. I'm so sorry you are cutting your losses and cutting your losses. I have been so impressed by the Americans I've met on the DU and elsewhere in the last 20 years. You are great good eggs and wicked smart. If the Southern US had the civil society of the northern and blue states this never would have happened. People immigrating to the West to make their fortune would have gone to the US if they were aggressive at all as you are the best and also the baddest (slavery). So you ended up with more aggressive people who are now MAGA. But you also have the smartest people too who are fully activated now. You'll get through this I believe more now than ever. When you are going through hell keep going. (((Hugs)))

P.S. we had the same ridiculous cigarette laws as you until the 2000s. We all have bad stuff in our national pasts. Yours just caught up with you.
