Rich Americans are getting second passports, citing risk of instability

create instability
profit from said instability
run from said instability

get gov't contracts to rebuild after instability

They're afraid of instability so they go to Greece?!

If you have a Greek passport you can live anywhere in the eu right?
- Yup, the same works for passports from other countries like Malta and Cyprus which iirc literally just sell citizenship.
- Not quite so simple, but makes things certainly easier.
  "As an EU citizen, you have the right to move to any EU country to live, work, study, look for a job or retire.
  You can stay in another EU country for up to 3 months without registering there but you may need to report your presence. The only requirement is to hold a valid national identity card or passport. If you want to stay longer than 3 months, you may need to register your residence.
  In many EU countries, you need to carry an identity card or passport with you at all times. In these countries, you could be fined or temporarily detained if you leave your identity documents at home - but you cannot be forced to return to your home country for this reason alone. "

To be fair the same British who voted forn Brexit were already living in Spain (the awful individuals in the US and UK are related because of terrible media groups such as Fox and Sun).
- A rapid change, you say?

Dear blue and white collar workers, please consider coming to Germany. We need a FUCKTON of People.

Last time I checked, even most IT jobs required you to speak German. I'm not saying this is unreasonable in Germany, but I think it might make it harder to attract a fuckton of people.
- A lot of Germans speak English, depending on the region. Also, I've found that some job postings tend to over state their standards, in other words, please consider my Duolingo subscription when reviewing my application.
I'll go but how? What do I need to move there?

  "Persons holding a US passport may apply for their residence permit at the local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) after arrival in Germany and without having obtained a visa prior to travelling to Germany. Please note that you need to register your new residence (Anmeldung) with the authorities (Meldebehörde) within 2 weeks of having moved to Germany. You also need to apply for your residence permit at the local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) within the first 90 days of your stay in Germany. (...) We strongly recommend contacting the local immigration office as soon as possible after your arrival in Germany in order to secure a timely appointment.
  Please note that you may only take up employment once you have been issued a residence permit explicitly authorizing such employment. You may also choose to apply for a visa prior to travel, effectively permitting employment from the first day of visa validity"
- Just say the country you're arriving from is run by global terrorists who are destabilising the world in pursuit of money, you'd probably get asylum 😂
But don’t move to nazi states
It's VERY TRUE, but no body will take that invitation, job ads in Germany DEMAND that you speak fluent German to work here. I mean you are not even considered if you you tell them you will start learning the language. This happened to 3, highly qualified , experienced colleges of mine plus with me so multiple cases. I know at least 2 cases , where People who are living in Germany are afraid to change jobs within DE because they been rejected due to lack of German language.
I agree one might need to local languages, but no talent from outside is coming pre learned German in droves. There will be change in this before Germany REALLY NEEDS people. Till then one must talk DE or work with junior/inexperienced person leading to inefficiencies ( see FOR EXAMPLE: DB and multiple of your companies)

they get to fuck us over then scram to somewhere not as fucked over.

Was going to say it but my version was less concise.

There's no downside if you can do it and extreme wealth is only a requirement if some of the many offers don't apply to you. Spain was basically giving away citizenship a few years back. Bulgaria is pretty open.

I've lived in the US for quite a few decades, but I'm still a German citizen. When asked why I don't take US citizenship, I give a three-part answer:
I don't believe you can owe allegiance to two different entities at the same time.
Between a German EU passport and a US Green Card, I can travel almost anywhere in the world.
I f I ever run into legal troubles, first call is to the wife, second goes to the embassy.
- This is a personal decision but I think it's better to be pragmatic about it. If your country of origin permits dual citizenship I'd do the naturalization simply because it gives you more flexibility. It's a more secure status, no need to worry about renewing or spending longer periods abroad. And you get to vote of course.
  Citizenships and passports are bureaucracy and they don't define who you are, that comes from your heart. I'd look at it as a practical matter.
  My understanding is that Germany is looking to start permitting dual citizenship later this year.
- Can I ask why you live in the US when you could live in Europe?
- Is that a personal belief, or a legal one? Because the US does recognize dual citizenship. Germany does too, in certain conditions.
There is a downside to US Citizenship for some though, as one of the only countries on earth yo demand you pay taxes on income earned outside the country
- demand you pay taxes on income earned outside the country
  Good thing the super wealthy don't have legally-defined income to be taxed!
  ..No, wait. Not good. The opposite of good.
I think Portugal will basically sell you a passport for a €250,000 investment. I don't know about Spain. I had Spanish residency years ago but moved away and let it slip, residency was pretty easy to get back then. I'd fuckin love to have an EU passport.
These are all lame countries anyways, now I would love to have a Denmark or Sweden passport or something but last I looked it was pretty hard (For us lowly plebs anyways...)
- Schengen is Schengen.
- Spain is a lame country?

Worried about the increasing instability that they fucking created with their sociopathic levels of wealth seeking.

Speaking of instability, I'm actually baffled at Canadian government.

They didn't try to attract US and UK companies to set up offices in Canada when many people in those countries were worried about Trump presidency and Brexit, respectively.

As I've said for a while, anyone with more than two brain cells and the means, is leaving the USA or planning to leave quickly right at the edge of disaster.

The instability they funded politically so they could get more tax breaks, profits and suppress labor.

They got theirs. Set the place on fire while they run off to wherever like Ted Cruz when things get a little uncomfortable.

God forbid the rich have to live in the world they made.

Super weird to read this having emigrated right after RBG died. Like, I'm not rich I just read the room.

I visited her grave in Arlington. Nothing crude, just a low, under my breath “god dammit ruth…”

"We have ONE passport, yes. What about second passport?"
