This stuff is really sad.

(Note: as the article points out, the US has had a similar policy on Europeans since 2009)

Definitely want to focus more of my travel on countries that actually want people to visit them.

I believe this is when the benefit of a Canadian, Australian or Swedish passport shines through. Or any other countries with very low levels of conflict with others. 

We already see less need to settle in one place for the more well off. The countries need them more than they need the countries - for tax and spending.

Serious person doing serious things. This is where I write random stuff. Live free or die. 

Note while some motives for visas are petty, the main reason for a visa restriction is to create artificial supply curves for low paying labor skills which protects the local labor pool. 

I have thoughts on how crypto solves this but I can see motives of politicians protecting the existing locals.
