Hello Mark and Co,
Would you look to expand you horizons beyond the US?
Here in Grimsby, UK we have plenty of stories to tell, with an extremely similar struggle to the US.
There are both stories of people stuck and those looking to help.
If you can Id recommend watching a TV series called Skint- Grimsby & Scunthorpe
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2936388/
This will really give you flavour.
It can be seen here for free- with UK VPN active.

Thanks
