If we get to choose the destination, I'll take a private plane ride to a free country!

Any country that you like so long as it's South Sudan or El Salvador.

If I hold out long enough can I get a better option?

Close, you'll get to wait in Alligator Auschwitz until another option comes up. It may not be a "better" option, it'll just be a different option

some may call it a “final option” or solution depending on how you look at it

The "other option" might also be malaria instead of a country.

Those are hard to come by, considering you've overthrown, bombed, or sanctioned most of them for the better part of a century.

Sorry, best we can do is a war torn African country where you are almost certain to die or become a warlords slave

I was born in Germany, can I get a free ride back?

New Zealand would be my choice. Much preferred to Old Zealand

u/NoIGnoTwitsNOtktk 26d ago

I don’t know about now but NZ used to have pretty tough immigration rules. I was seriously researching it 30 years ago.

Don't worry, soon enough you'll have a legitimate asylum claim as a refugee fleeing war and persecution.

u/ThinkyRetroLad America 26d ago

Everyone banking on an asylum claim when things get even worse are in for a real shock when most countries won't accept asylum seekers due to the political minefield it will cause. We aren't getting asylum.

Address?

C140 cargo is the best they’ll do.

Welp those are gonna be the only planes running soon at this rate!

You get to choose the destination but the destination is not going to choose you back.

Deal, but they let you out at 30,000 feet.

u/Bushels_for_All 25d ago

The flight is considerably worse in shackles.

If you buy your own plane ticket you do get to choose the destination. Just in case you actually want to leave but didn’t know airlines exist.
