 yeah, if those are your two preferred options forget the voting and join the church

bigger mainstream churches are better, catholic, anglican, presbyterian, baptist... the other, smaller ones are loony, often cultish 
 Not everyone is a cypher punk and can work on Bitcoin, lightning, Nostr, and antigravity so we are stuck with pulling a lever 
 what other options are there? 
 make a business? depends on how socialist and greedy the government is whether that's good or a struggle

it's not for nothing that merchants and travel are connected... governments will try to get their fangs into you if you stick around too long 
 i might just merchant myself around on a sailboat. that's the dream. if i wasn't so scared of being too lazy to scrape off the barnacles and look at a map. 
 lol, haha... not hard to find food out in the sea but you gotta replace your lines and hooks and fuel your cooker
