Today's reality is wilder than anything Onion can come up with.

If you hada disposable five million dollars why would you want to live in the USA?

[-] Apricot@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago

To get in on the corruption?

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 15 points 2 years ago

Five million to join, and all the exploitative labor practices you want!

Regulations you say? Never heard of em.

Labor laws... What, you need to hire prisoners? They're cheap!!

And better yet, the sorry bastards have to pay so much for health care they're practically indentured to you.

Five million to get in, and all the land we can sell.

This is the darkest timeline.

Selling citizenship like blue check marks? This sounds familiar.

Other countries do this, too. Here's 18 of them: https://www.globalcitizensolutions.com/golden-visa/

Rich people play by a different set of rules than you do, even in places with slightly less oligarchy.

The US is already on that list, and the golden visas top out at $100k. This is just another Trump scam.

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for that list. Seriously considering some

I bet it's not a gold card. It's just a painted on piece of toast.

It’s yellow and brown on inkjet paper that says

We are slaves for the highest bidders. We have been for a long time but this is just the latest security update for them. This is an offer for people to come to America to live out their corruption in admin-created, perfect poor environment for them to abuse.

He looks very old

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

If you give me the $5 million, I'll take one of the disgusting things off your hands.

Dollars won't be worth much soon anyway.
