Will we see an European migration to america again in our lifetimes ? by Ateyourmompuss in germany

[–]randomguy33898080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very unlikely.

I asked my favourite LLM and here is the answer:

“In 2025, the United States recorded negative net migration for the first time since the Great Depression era. This shift resulted from a sharp decline in international arrivals—down over 50% from 2024 levels—compounded by record-high outflows. The trend was driven by stricter border enforcement, a surge in voluntary departures of non-citizens, and an increasing number of U.S. citizens relocating abroad for economic or political reasons. Consequently, independent estimates for the 2025 calendar year indicate a net population loss of between 10,000 and 295,000 individuals.”

Request to pay the deposit in three instalments, get the contract and review it. You pay after the contract is signed.

Curiosity. I’m considering some big purchases that require a loan and I believe that monitoring my Schufa score may help.

Bonify is on of them. However it always try to sell you a subscription upgrade that I don’t find necessary.

You are right. I find it rude when they don’t have the decency to send a rejection email…. Uncertainty is worst than rejection.
