@georgetakei Is there a big hurdle to moving to another state? I don't live in the US so I'm curious. I'd try to move to another state if they tried to take away my rights.

@chris it takes money. It takes a lot of money. Money that most people absolutely don't have.
And speaking of money, when and how do you find a job at your destination?

@viq I recently moved to another state within germany for a job. I didn't find it that expensive. It wasn't free but it was not too much either. But I see that I have some benefits: I don't have a house, I had a job in sight, germany is smaller and I had some money saved.

@chris moving to another state would probably be better compared to moving to say Spain, minus the language barrier and *some* of the paperwork.
A lot of potential work places won't talk to you unless you're where they are.

@viq That's so odd. When I moved I just applied and went to an in person interview once. When I got my contract I started the moving process. It was stressful and annoying but that was about it. It sucks that is so hard to move wihtin the same country. United States sounds increasingly like Loosely Connected States. But still working in Spain (minus the langauge barrier) wouldn't be that hard either I think.

@chris once you do find work. How do you do that?

@viq I apply remotely

@chris and you get "you're not here, we aren't hiring remotely". Or "please come to our office on Tuesday morning for an interview".

@chris (and you don't get paid for the days you're not at current work. Also your boss can decide they don't like you not being there, and it seeming you're looking for other work, so you're fired)

@viq Yeah I forgot about that. In germany you have a minimum of 4 weeks of vacation time (excluding sick time) and you always have a work contract with usually around 1-6 months (in my jobs it was always 3 months) of notice.
