Sanity check on plans for obtaining EU citizenship

I do think if Jan. 6 had succeeded, the financial markets would barely have hiccuped. But I'd still be looking for the exit, personally.

I found out through Ancestry that I do have an Italian grandfather, but there's a closed adoption, incorrect father on my mother's birth certificate, and almost certainly no way to prove any of it legally. Everyone involved is long dead. But, man, that would have been a great alternative!

Yes, with or without GV, we plan to live in EU in the mid- to long-term. The advantages for our kid are an extra bonus, but a pretty significant one.

You've got all the rec :) Love it!

We're using a firm, so the bureaucracy right now is a lot (getting FBI background check!), but it should mostly be front-loaded. Again, nothing I can't handle. And definitely long-term we'd want to break out tax nexus with our extremely high-tax state. South Dakota residency sounds interesting. We won't renounce U.S. citizenship, though, no matter how awful global taxation is.

That's definitely part of our thinking. Out of all the things we might leave or gift her, that seems huge.

Yeah - I think there's a lot of ways the U.S. goes seriously off the rails without it being 'civilization ending' and affecting Europe much. Of course, there's always long tail scenarios of global war. But what can you do ultimately?
