@jaj@mastodon.social The #USA used to be a great place to visit. I went there several times on business around the turn of the century. I liked it so much that I took Mrs Wife out there, and we made serious plans to emigrate. Only 9/11 stopped us — the INS, understandably, slammed the shutters down, and we felt the world had changed and become too unpredictable for us to make the move. I wouldn't go out there now, though. One of several reasons I've let my passport lapse is to make it harder for my employer to ask me to visit. It wasn't until 2015 that I felt relief that we'd stayed at home, rather than missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange
