The proceeds from this sale will go to solving my housing insecurity through permanently leaving the rental crisis in the USA; establishing myself in Budapest while I make my application for citizenship by descent; this will allow me to remain in Europe: as my home country of the United States falls deeper into fascism.

The price of this work was calculated in two ways: first the work has 82 pages and it priced at 82 USD per page. and
the price of this work is equal to the minimum amount I need to arrive in Budapest and file for my Jus Sanguinis (blood rite) citizenship to remain in Europe. my claim has been pre-cleared with the consulate and all that remains is the formal application.
