A favorite refrain of people in the U.S. when a presidential election approaches, is "If _____ is elected, I'm leaving the country." With the thought of a possible President Trump, I started wondering which countries people who really meant that, might choose, and what the criteria might be...

With the [dollar] reserves being drawn down to such a precariously low level, what simultaneous but opposing factors are causing the parallel dollar rate to drop? It seems too early for the rate to be affected by optimism over a possible Macri win, in the face of the very real, not just...

Does anyone know if CNN International is broadcasting the Democratic debate, and if so, at what time? On CNN in the US, it is at 8pm edt, but not necessarily broadcast live on the international channel. I see that it can be streamed live, but would prefer tv if possible. Thanks!
