I understand that there isn't any changing your opinions on any of this that you're presenting as a problem...seeing as how this is comment page 20-21.....But keep in mind that a vast majority actually enjoy living here in the US of A....And you're also not going to change their (my) opinions on the matter. So all you're doing here is justifying to yourself your reasoning for leaving what I see as a great country to live in...No need to justify it to any of us, really. |
I think you underestimate the problem ...
If you look at the migration statistics within most countries you can see people moving from one region to another when the kinds of problems that TheRealMafoo brings up exist in one region and not the other. A disproportionate number of these people who are migrating away from these problems are entrepreneurs and people in high value careers, and the region that scares these people away tends to see a reduction in standard of living and slower growth because of the loss of these individuals.
While it is not as common, when a country is too small to offer much variety or the problems become widespread these individuals tend to be the first to leave the country; and much like the regional migration, the country they leave sees a reduction in standard of living and slower growth in the future.
There are reasons why cities like Detroit will never recover, and one of the reasons is that the people who can fix it left a long time ago.
