       @Jerry
       Well, I didn`t exactly stow away on a cargo ship to go to
       Germany for a month but I did have to take that Icelandic budget
       airline, WOW air, which is not like Lufthansa or a fancy
       airline, or a really good one. Far from it, but then it`s half
       the price. You take your life in your hands flying WOW. I think
       they`ve got the most minimally trained pilots in the world and
       you don`t get any free food, not even free water. No nothing. A
       seat and that`s about it and pretty stewardesses.  So, yes, I
       had to really rough it getting to Germany with that airline.
       Lucky I made it there and back in one piece, but it was a bit
       like taking my life in my hands. And yes, I did spend a month
       there and ate well, but things aren`t as expensive as in the US.
       And people drive better too. Everything is better, safer. But,
       yes I do have to scrape by, because of this country and the
       lifestyle it imposes on us.
       And, I had to get away from these lunatics I have to represent
       to maintain my sanity.

       Jerry, are you suggesting I didn`t spend any money in Germany?
       How could I do that?
       But, yes, I am having to scrape by in the US. I`m not like these
       rich Americans, like I`m sure you and NealC are.

       It means that you have enough money to  bribe any government in
       the world to get any citizenship very quickly.  If don't have
       such power then it is just a babbling.

       In the US if you don’t have a lot of money, like if you are not
       mega rich, you`re just disposal garbage. No one cares about you.
       People here live in their insular little worlds. Most know ZERO
       about international issues, they never travel outside the US,
       even fewer speak or even try to learn foreign languages because
       they are too dumb, and most couldn’t even find Europe on a map
       if their lives depended on it. Ask an average Texan about Serbia
       he`s say „What`s that? Is that that new restaurant that just
       opened up next to my (beloved) Walmart.“ These idiots feel all
       tough and macho because they own a military assault rifle. The
       rest of the world that knows this truth just shake their heads
       and are baffled by the level of idiocity and self-centeredness.
