I guess it depends on how you define "poor". If "poor" is never having to work, getting to chase your dreams and ambitions with your entire life, and never having to worry about food and housing and healthcare, then sign me up.
"Forward Deployed Engineer" is on your website and links to LinkedIn, but it's listed as not accepting applications there.
Your company is awesome, I tinkered with something exactly like this but with a little plastic RC excavator. I'm a web developer but probably not a competitive candidate. Just wanted to say "cool!"
What's the best combination of close to the US, high living standards, good healthcare, and feasible to immigrate to as an American with a pretty normal professional career?
Space junk isn't a problem at the altitude that Starlink operates at and they harmlessly fall back into the atmosphere after a given number of years. Please take the Musk-bashing astroturfing elsewhere.
To dig through the materials these bunkers are made of would require technology advanced enough they would know what radiation is and how to detect it.

This is something I've come to learn as I get older. I used to beat myself up over all the stuff I thought I should be doing with my spare time but didn't. Then I realized - if I'm not doing it and I don't feel motivated to do it, then it's probably not actually that important to me.
I make decent money. A lot less than all the FAANG engineers here, but still probably double the national average. I can't afford a house in the major city I live in and not sure I ever will but I'm comfortable and just trying to enjoy my life at this point.
Not sure if this was the first year for tax returns to have it, but I was asked to document every single time I spent bitcoin to purchase something.
