The US Passport is Getting WORSE

[@GwenSwan]

I agree 100% with this video. I'm Canadian but I grew up in the USA in Miami and did all my studies in the US. When my mother got sick with Cancer in Miami, she decided to go back to Canada for treatments because of socialized medicine. So I decided to go back to Canada to be with my Mom. But I still had to go back to the US to conduct my businesses. And each time I would cross the border the freaking US border administration would make my life soooo miserable that after being detained for 8 hours on several occasions and interrogated for hours for being a dual citizen and traveling back and forth and missing my flights and having to book last minutes flights again and having to stay in a hotel for an extra night and all these expenses that they forced me to incur and the waste of time they caused me and delays to my meetings and attending to my business, I've decided to burn it and forfeited my papers and citizenship. It's wasn't worth the trouble. These people have absolutely zero respect for the years of contribution I had given to their country. I have never set foot in the US ever again. Oh and moreover, because at the time I had forfeited my status, they banned me from entry into the US even if it was to catch a flight to go elsewhere in the world. So screw them. I hate the US . I'll never go back ever again.

Inflation sucks, but inflation was global, and in the U.S. it's come way down. In Argentina it's 276%; in Turkey, it's 75%; in the U.S. it's just over 3%; in China, they have had short periods of deflation, which is worse - and China lies about their stats anyway, so things are always worse than they say...same for Russia.

Most of the US government's unfortunate interactions with other nations, especially over the last 30-40 years, has been driven by a desire to defend the world reserve currency status of the dollar, all the while destroying it through irresponsible economic, social and political policies. There is no need for a world reserve currency. If you looked at nearly every American's balance sheet, you would realize that having the reserve currency has made them poorer, not richer.

[@albertwong4832]

Being a reserve currency is not from desire, but from having a desired currency because it is stable and freely traded. That is why the Chinese Yuan is not a reserve currency. It comes with many benefits and a few responsiblities.

[@xrpkidotec520]

​@lks11 is it possible that the reason why we are going electric is because the US can no longer bully its petrodollar on a pedestal. Due to the education of simply being able to use alternative fuels like bio-diesel etc. It's no longer reasonable to have a dollar pegged to crude oil and be at the mercy of OPEC..... also wtf is crude oil. If we pump so much of the earth's blood and those pools are empty can't that cause a foundational collapse of the earth's surface..... it makes no sense geological...... so with that said the dollar is naturally meant to be depegged..... now historically speaking what's the next global reserve currency...... XRP, BTC, XDC...... if so how can the globe come to a consensus....... now we have to stress test these DLT currencies....... if we collapse the dollar we best have a stress tested new currency on a global scale. Because obviously the globe should be free to all humans. We don't want to close borders it's best we stay globally friendly. So we have to have a credible, quality new reserve currency to equalize all economies and each economy will be as strong as its working class and not its swindling class/ evil lazy slothy class.....

[@elcaballeronyc]

@@deezeed2817the reason there has been a spike in demand for passports is due to more of the foreign countries that Americans visit requiring passport to visit and even the instances where a passport isn’t required having a passport simplifies the process so people are applying. Until fairly recently a person from the USA could travel around the majority of North and South America and the Caribbean with just a drivers license and birth certificate. Now unless arriving by boat or crossing by foot or car a passport is required and even when you can travel without it having a passport makes it way easier. Just got back from a cruise around the Caribbean and Central America and while a passport wasn’t necessary for the cruise and the ports visited checking in at the beginning and disembarking the ship at the end was way faster and simpler for those with a passport than those without one

Brazil operates its visa policy based on diplomacy. It's VERY difficult for Brazilians to even VISIT the U.S., why should Brazil allow American tourists to easily visit Brazil? I'm Brazilian and 2 years ago some of my family members applied for a tourist visa because they wanted to vacation at DisneyWorld in Florida. They paid a non-refundable amount of 300 US$ (very expensive to Brazilian standards), showed proof that they're not planning to overstay their visa and spent hours in line at the consulate just to be denied entry and be treated badly by the staff.

ESTA is travel authorization, not e-visa. From the backoffice experience, visa provision is a process that is longer and more scrutinized before and on arrival at the port of entry. Travel authorization is usually automated for 99.9% of people and only scrutinized at the point of entry. Also e-visa basically means same cost but no interview and sometimes no special visa paper stamp or stamp on arrival. Esta is cheap and just a flag that you can travel and will get scrutinized at the border.

To make matters worse, many don't even have money to go back to their countries. I know of a guy who told me he spent a jaw-dropping $20,000 just to come to the US. Now he is disappointed because the US is not what he thought it would be. He told me he was shocked to see so many homeless people in America, which is unknown where he comes from. Now, he's trying to see how he can go back home. But the problem is that $20,000 was raised by borrowing. So he has to pay that back. The reality is, and you and l know it. America is in a financial mess, and Americans are struggling. Many people around the world don't know this because they think the US is Hollywood. There was a time when the US and the passport were golden. But it is slowly coming to an end. As you may be aware, the world no longer wants to use the dollar. That's why BRICS has been formed.

Hey ive been watching your channel for some time now and i highly respect your knowledge on the worldwide stage, ive been to many countries as a us citizen including living in dubai last year for 6 months with my residency and living in bangkok for 1 month, only thing i disagree is the value you place on the US , everyone hates us policies and tax rules including me who owns multiple businesses which is why i setup shop in the dubai freezone but one thing i must note is that the USD is more valuable and secure for any of us expats! What people fail to understand is that its easy to bash the us while living in a cheaper country like Thailand or Malaysia while gettiny paid in USD but lets see how much you like those countries if all ofnyour income is was paid to you in that local currency. Thats when you will realize the vakuebof the US and mostly the USD, i hate the US policies but i realize i live very comfortable in asia with the security of all of my income coming in USD. i would never trade that for there local currency! This is the point that needs to be stated. The true making money in USD but living in a country like malaysia or thailand off of the USD

As a violent convicted felon who has served his time (assault 1 back in 2007) was released in 2010 I’ve had no issues gaining a passport once I’ve finished my parole so I’ve traveled to the Schengen zone (France 🇫🇷 & Belgium 🇧🇪) I’m wondering if with Etias implemented next year if I would have an issue traveling to Europe. Also I’ve been to Türkiye 🇹🇷 and I had to pay $50 for an Evisa to travel there. Supposedly Türkiye 🇹🇷 doesn’t allow convicted U.S. felons if discovered but I didn’t have any issue obtaining their Evisa and being allowed entry into the country.

In 2019 I decided to move to France from the US. I'm born and raised in the US. I didn't realise how bad the US is until I decided to move out of the country. For all of you Americans who say land of the free. You'll learn just how free you're not when you try to leave the country. It was easier to get into France than to get out of the US. I have a completely different perspective on the US now.

[@Abicated]

The reason the US is called the land of the free is due to having more absolute protections in place for things like freedom of speech and other First Amendment protections. Is the moniker a bit hyperbolic. Yeah. It used to be, less so, but it has nothing to do with your ease of leaving or entering the country. Sure, there are plenty of things America is doing wrong,and, like you, I gained perspective on those things by living abroad, but part of the reason I came back from Europe is because I saw people starting to get arrested for social media posts. Now England is talking about trying to extradite other nations' citizens for violating its laws on speech, and all I can think is," I dodged a bullet.

[@hungo7720]

I understand why you rant the US excessively from the perspectives of a nomad capitalist. The US definitely has a handful of chronically pervasive issues regarding the economy and passport index but it isn't as ostensibly shabby as depicted. It is obviously better off to have mutiple citizenships but I reckon the US passport might be just prestigious enough to visit most countries on earth.

[@nurainiarsad7395]

To visit, sure. To do business, not so much. Your government has a habit of sanctioning all manner of people, countries, entities, banks, companies - this jurisdictions applies to US persons, meaning that you personally cannot deal with parties under sanction which cuts you off from business. A clear example is the BDS movement against Israel. By law, an American person cannot deal with anyone of any company who even personally expresses support for BDS even if they don't actually do a boycott. Think about what that means for company liability if they have an American dealing with foreign business partners in countries that are generally anti-zionist. You' re just not going to get some positions, because of your nationality being such a massive risk.

Getting a USA B1/B2 visa is almost like a lottery, and you often get rejected for the same reason. They say you don't have enough ties to Brazil to qualify for this visa. For example, I work remotely for a tech software company in the USA and earn around $5,000 a month. However, since my wife and I are under 25 years old and didn't come from a wealthy family, we got rejected. Honestly, I have a secure job here, so how could they think we would immigrate illegally in such a scenario? I still want to go to the USA, but having only five cities in Brazil where you can apply for a visa and going through all of this makes me feel like I'm begging and humiliating myself to get a USA visa. Next year, we'll try to go to Canada. If that doesn't work, I guess that's it. The USA embassy treats South American people like inferior human beings. If none of this works, I'll travel to alternative countries, and they'll be the ones missing out on my money.

The Democrats are usually the ones who get defensive because their party did most of the damage (albeit Republicans aren't totally innocent) and the left doesn't want to admit that their policies have failed. The rest of us are aware our country is on the decline. But the first step to rehabilitation is admitting you have a problem. The Dems will not admit they can't manage government, so the problems don't get addressed. The second step is handing yourself over to a higher power. The left is increasingly becoming atheist, so that is another roadblock to recovery. As a nation, we need to vote out the left. And pressure the right to keep us out of war. We need to vote out any politician who supports mass immigration or supports the military industrial complex. And then, we can start to admit our problems.

I was waiting to hear you say it was “close,” or “it depends on your situation.” I chimed in “yes!,” when you named Switzerland as “first.” So much more freedom there (than in the US, UK, many other nations); more order and safety, more multicultural than the US (certainly per capital) leading to cosmopolitan cities. Number one for me for decades has been its breathtaking natural beauty…. Blathering on in favor of Switzerland: one has excellent healthcare, excellent infrastructure, etc. As a cultural matter (not solely based on laws, which the US has too many of but doesn’t even enforce in warranted cases, leading to increasing lawlessness), most Swiss people do what they say they will. They do have a sense of communal responsibility, eg voting (via direct democracy) for a living wage for employed workers (obv not those who are self-employed) in Zurich and Geneva. Most Swiss are proud of being able to afford doing so while keeping taxes low.

[@SilentRunningRedux]

*Edit: ”multicultural” … “per CAPITA” (not “capital”), although the cities are bustling with people from around the world, speaking nearly as many languages as one will hear in NYC.

I knew about ETIAS coming through. I will handle that as an American. NOTE: the places I travel to beyond the Americas often require a visa. They are India, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I have a standing visa in my US passport for India and for Vietnam. For India I have an OCI visa. For Vietnam I have a visa waiver because I am married to a Viet Kieu. My wife enters and leaves Vietnam on her USA passport (not her Vietnam one). She also has a stamp in her USA passport to do it. She gets hassled as a Viet Kieu if she shows her Vietnam passport to the officer. They want a bribe if she shows her Vietnam passport. The USA passport is a deterrent. So, for things like E-Visa I have done it as an American. I have gotten physical visas as an American. Typical stuff. I knew about Cuba for foreigners. That is why foreigners get a new passport and keep their mouth shut about Cuba for USA. This is why my friends get a new passport after returning from Israel.

It has not been pushed back yet again to sometime in 2025.
