My friend is doing it next week. She had to hire a firm that specializes in helping Americans renounce their citizenship. The consulate gave her a lecture about how she shouldn’t do it and are making her travel to participate in a renouncement ceremony!

Interesting! What's her plan for after?

She’s had a New Zealand passport for 25 years and just got tired of dealing with American taxes.

Ah makes sense.

I was hoping she didnt have any passport at all.

I think it's time we begin more hardcore experimentation with stateless sovereign individuals.

curious about this re: friends who never went to the doctor re: pregnancy & so their child doesnt have any paperwork proving their existence anywhere. as in: no social security #, no birth certificate, nothing
