  1.  @TheReferrer72  Wake up, its the vaccinated who are at risk. You are so programmed. Look at Israel, one of the highest vaxed nations on earth, look at their hospitalization numbers. Get off mainstream media and look at other channels besides YT.

  2. Many people have a romance of Europe and really have no understanding on what is going on politically.

  3. SA Rand was worth more than the US Dollar in the 1970;s, this was when the US economy was supreme. Tells you something. I remember growing up being impressed with the SA Krugerrands.

  4.  @spicychad55  Actually it's the opposite. It's a country that isn't a bitch to the EU and protects the rights of its citizens against outside interests.

  5. Explored it about 10 years ago, decided against it for a number of reasons. While one can easily purchase land there, water rights do not automatically come with the property you buy, so that is a BIG Problem. In addition, gas prices are high- similar to Europe- so the most beautiful areas of the country one can't easily be self sufficient due to weather and energy costs. Also, unlike many part of Latin America, there are a lot of really woke people. One can see this with the recent election, many of the younger people are social marxists to boot. Finally, many Chileans are unhappy with their medical care and by South American standards is fairly high.

  7.  @JB-wr2lx  67% of Canadians didn't vote for Trudeau. They must count votes like the US does. Remember Stalin said, its not who you vote for its who counts the votes is what matters.

  8.  @TheElectronicaman  Look at Israel and the high rate of vaxed. If there is one group of people that should be against it, it is them. Every country that signed the Nuremberg Convention agreed that there could never be forced vaccination again. Any country that requires it, should be thrown out of the UN, if there was any honesty going on.

  10.  @nazfar6700  There are plenty of areas in Canada where you can walk over the border and get into the US. Once there, get a bus, go to airport fly to Mexico

  11.  @b__w_4565  Depends on where you live, many states have allowed students to be exempted for years. When I took some college courses about 10 years ago, I had to have proof that I had tetanus shot but nothing else. The present vax is technically not a vaccine and the CDC will not release its research for another 50 years, leading sensible people to say, well I'll wait 50 years to take the shot.

  12. $4000/month should qualify you for food stamps in SF Bay area. Renting a room in someone else's place is like $1500 month. Not really a great recommendation.

  14.  @tstcikhthys  I realize that is a Cultural Marxist talking point, but no other country is defined as "American" except the US. One can be a resident or a citizen of any Central American or South American country & be located in the "Americas", but one's identity is in the individual country that they are a citizen of. So, someone from Chile has an identity of being Chilean, not being "American". Yes, they are located in South America and realize they are in South America. Even in Mexico, which is in North America, refers to Canadians and people from the US as being "Norte Americanos", so they are associating that they aren't Americans even though they are technically North Americans. Btw, Canadians only refer to themselves as being from Canada, not as being North Americans. I live in Central America and travel throughout SA, by comparison they aren't doing anywhere close to my primary home in the US. Many people from Europe and the US make their money remotely, so they don't connect with how hard locals work in these country. I could write a couple of books on how different life is down here, I have a more positive view of the US the longer I am away from it.

  15. How do you think you are going to get temporary residency in Mexico with $40 in your pocket. Mexico is declining many people who don't have the ability to prove income. Minimum income for a temp visa is $2500/month for 1 person. If you buy a home for 350k then you can qualify with that. Or you need to show about 140k in your bank account. The old I'll stay in Mexico for 6 months and then go to Belize for the weekend and fly back in has come to an end. So, if you can find work online and can show that as your income that may work. If you try to overstay your tourist visa, do not get on a bus the immigration police are pulling people off buses and imprisoning' them. They may deport you back to Canada.

  16.  @EYNugget  Problem is it is too conformist, look how the treated people with the last manufactured health crisis. Many of these nations wanted to imprison people due to lack of compliance.

  17. Good move... Some of Texas's challenges is that many liberal people have left California and are starting to change the landscape there. They leave California because of the high cost of living, not owning that they and the way they vote is what has caused the high cost. They moved to Austin, which is like a mini California high taxes ( higher property taxes than CA) with escalating real estate values. Of course, there are many other areas of Texas that are not like this.

  19. Nearly all of Asia is humid. Since I'm not a "city person" there are less offerings for me in that part of the world. China releases their nuclear waste directly into the ocean, so not sure how safe it is to be eating seafood in that region of the world.

  20.  @lizcosgrove8199  Well, look at the present admin in power. Hunter Biden's dad picked the worst candidate in the Democratic lineup, anyone else would have better. So, we really don't have a VP that can be counted on. The speaker of the house is a senile alcoholic who is totally corrupt. Hunter's dad has moments of lucidity, but mostly he rambles on and on, craps his pants and clearly is trying to listen to what some one is telling him to say. Most of the world leaders don't even bother to listen to him. Look at our POS sec of state that can't negotiate jack. Compare that to Mike Pompeo of the previous administration, who had served in the navy, graduated from West Point , and had serious negotiation chops. Can you imagine that we would be in this situation if Donald Trump had been elected. While Trump is highly flawed, he wouldn't have abandoned American citizens and allies in Afghanistan. Hunter's dad refused to have serious talks with Putin, again this would not have happened with the previous administration. The world was a much safer place under Trump. Trump restrained nato, this situation in Ukraine would not be happening and we would not be having crazy gas prices.

  21.  @delroywilson9588  Since we aren't time travelers, its all perspective. The 1920's were a time of affluence, most people had indoor plumbing unlike 20 years previous to that era. As far as the USA goes, we had gone through WWl and had the naïve belief it truly was the war to end all wars, no such thought exists anymore. People in general didn't lock their doors, violence was quite rare. The country was more homogeneous in general, none of this culture wars that plague us now. Growing up in the 1970's, was an ideal time in retrospect. There was not the addiction to the celebrity culture that exists now. The lifestyle that I had growing up was maintained by a blue color father and today to duplicate it would require both couples to work who had advanced professional careers. My parents purchased their nice 4 br home for 2lk in 1959 and sold it for 36k in 1973. 4 years later it sold for 125k. Now it is valued at 1.5 mil. People's income has not increased at this level, so yes quality of life has gone down.

  26.  @douwe4549  Merida is a big expat center and it is also a very " safe" place in terms of lack of crime. So, it attracts a certain type of expat. Many of these type of expats feel safer with mask compliance. Often people bring their attitudes with them. The level of mask compliance varies from state to state in Mexico. In general, the average citizen in Mexico gives lip service to the government and goes about their own business. I follow several channels on people who live in Mexico. Jeff Berwick lives in the area around Acapulco, and he is always walking around the streets there with no mask on. So, you may want to look at some of these channels and there are lots of FB expats sites for guidance. Personally there is a big difference between wearing a mask in public areas vs being required to have a vax passport. I was in the hospital in the USA, and once I left my room had to have a mask on. Plus during my month stay, I had to have 11 CV tests, so being state bound does not mean there aren't compliances one need to do. The country of Panama was a big mask compliance country, however at present there are only 130 cases for the entire country and they are removing all restrictions beginning of the year. However, if one goes indoors there will be a mask restriction.

  27. One thing that is a small issue to some is that the EU doesn't allow some herbal medicines which to me is anti-freedom. For example, one is not allowed to have Melatonin which is a substance that helps me sleep. Again, this over the counter in the USA and most other countries around the world. This is just one instance.

  30. people should be working on their side hustle that one day will sustain them. Their job won't sustain them. There are so many skills that one can learn online that can be adapted to living in a remote location or another country.

  31. Aren't people responsible for their own life? Plenty of people on social security benefits live well in Ecuador and Mexico for retirement. What about someone learning some skills that they could use online, there is training through online portals like Linkedin Learning and the like, where they go work online. People are teaching English remotely for $20/hr and work part time and live well in certain countries. There are options and I'm showcasing activities that don't require a high level on business acumen that can easily be learned.

  32. In the EU, one is not allowed to have melatonin. This is a simple non prescription sleeping aid throughout most of the world, the EU also bans some other herbal treatments as well.

  33. Don't delude yourself, its a world wide problem. Most politicians around the world are Narcissists, so are many people in top positions in business and the arts.

  34. If you were smart, you would be in the neighboring country of Panama not Colombia. If you don't sell products or services within the country, no taxes at all. Top tax bracket is 25%

  35.  @douwe4549  In my area in California which is a super liberal area, people are starting to avoid mandates and not wearing masks in super markets. So, there is starting to be more of a push back. Some states like Florida are pretty clear that they are not enforcing mandates at all. So, it will be interesting. It's certainly depressing to hear about the Netherlands since compared to other areas of Europe it was more free just a few months ago. A channel for you to watch is Tangerine Travels, young couple who have been in Mexico for the past few years. They covered some recent problems in Tulum and Playa del Carmen. They are located at present in Quertaro, Mexico and noticed that it was fairly mixed with people wearing masks in his most recent video. Best of luck.

  36.  @navigator590  It's only good if you bring your money from a first world country & cash out to a third world country. The average people in third world countries often have hard lives.

  37.  @dougscott188  Problem with Ecuador is that if you get a residency you can only leave for 3 months out of the year or you lose your residency. Also, if you keep money in a bank there, if you leave the country you have to pay the government a percentage of YOUR money you took out of the bank. There are several other disadvantages but mostly related to being a business owner there. It could be ideal for someone who is retired, who doesn't plan on traveling much and banks in another country.

  38. #4 is what concerns me the most about mentalities in Asia. Too much of a conformist mindset.

  39. Well, he was raised in the Boston area and his mother was a teacher. So, he was raised with a liberal agenda and then lived in Hollywood for years, so has zero idea on how the rest of the country lives. While he seems like a decent person, I'm sure it opened his eyes being there. I remember back in 2004, I flew to Oklahoma City to pick up a rescue dog I was going to adopt. I had a long flight from California, there were no direct flights to Oklahoma City, and arrived late at night, thinking I wouldn't be able to pick up my rental car. But this was very cheerful, well attired young man, assisted me with the greatest courtesy. He inquired about my flight, inquired if I was visiting family and so on. The cost for the rental car was very inexpensive, he handled the entire transaction quickly and got me on my way. I remembered thinking that I felt that I had entered a different time zone, like I was in the 1950's or so back there was great service.

  41.  @Cpt.Phenom  Panama has many different types of residencies. Check out the channel, Panama Relocation Tours there is a iot of information on the channel. One of the benefits of Mexico is that they don't require a background check. From what I hear because Canada didn't sign the Hague convention, Canadians seem to have more challenges in authenticating documentation. Most countries want a background check and it is only good for 6 months.

  44.  @John-wf5if  You sound like someone who doesn't pay any taxes at all. The problem is that 50% of US residents don't pay any taxes at all.

  45.  @alblez  Most people don't talk about it but Colombia does have the right to tax it's citizens on their world wide income. They are not organized to do it, but its coming. I'm not sure what their position is on permanent residents that might be a better option.

  46. This social engineering has been going on for some time. I've been aware of this direction for the past 15 years, this is not anything new. We are in the world of techno-feudalism, if you want a real red pill listen to Whitney Web.

  47.  @GVan1953  During the 1970's the SA Rand was stronger than the US Dollar, which is amazing because back in the 1970;s the US economy was the strongest creditor ( hardly any debt) in the world.

  48.  @mariacourtney8712  Yes, it is so sad. The amount of programming that people in the western world is under is truly overwhelming. I try to keep things very basic when I speak to Friends and associates. I ask basic questions like how can the inflation be only 7% when house prices in my area has increased by 25% in the last year. The average 3 bedroom rental has increased from $3500-4500 per month. That's a 77% increase in rents. Just in the past year, rib eye steaks have increased 37%.and Gas prices are 63% higher than last year. Yes, I live in California, so many of my clients can handle this increase. If one moves to Tampa, Florida which had a more reasonable market just 6 months ago, A 1 bedroom apt had a monthly rental of $850 on average, that same apartment is now $1500 per month. So, that's a 56.6% increase. How many people are making 50% more than they made 6 months ago. Another area that I like in Florida is St. Augustine. 1 year ago once could find a simple 2+ bedroom home for around $1200/month/ That same home is around $1800 month. That's an increase of about 66%. Home prices there have gone from just around 200k for a simple 2-3 bedroom home to about $380,000 for a similar home. That's an increase of 52%. This is not a home in the most prime area ( close to the downtown or beach). Presented with this info, most people have a blank look, I woke them up from their programming for a second. Then they get defensive and try to present some alternative info which is not valid. Well, I have protected myself and now working on a plan B to my plan B, so I guess it's a plan C.

  49. i think it is interesting how many times Casey used the word shit hole countries with no response from Andrew or any of the subscribers. When Trump said it people went nuclear.

  50. I enjoyed Bermuda when I stayed there about 15 years ago, loved the old school British Crown Colony vibe. People actually greet you with a Good day on the street and dress for dinner. Not for those that wear flip flops and shorts, a more elegant experience. Everything is well cared for there, so one needs a great deal of wealth to live there. They have a separate MLS system for local citizens vs the International market. So, pricing is much more inflated unless one is a citizen there. But one can have a very gracious life if they have the funds to do so.
