I know what an exit visa is. Anyone with any contact with cuba, venezuela, china in the past decades would know. To believe that export control = path to exit visa is an insult to those who actually lived those restrictions and ignorant of past export control restrictions.

Well, I escaped an authorization regime. The USA appears to be another one all of a sudden. I cannot believe what is happening, but it is very much incoming. All the signals are here:

One true party: check

Pay to play: check

Manufactured internal culture war: check

Journalism destroyed: check

Scientists defunded: check

I have seen this playbook before. This is what we escaped from. What in the actual f is happening?
