My first memory of a “global event” was 9/11. Then the Patriot Act and the Iraq/Afghanistan war. Then Citizens United and single-payer ObamaCare got shutdown and I gave up on the US, put my head down and got to work on an engineering degree so I could emigrate.

Leaving family and friends behind fucking sucks, but I can always come back when things simmer down, or at least provide a place to go if things don’t.
