[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait I thought that housing is so expensive because so many illegal immigrants are coming in that they’re taking up all the housing and if we fixed that housing costs would boom!  Go down![/quote]

It was only a net decrease of a 150,000 people. When it gets to negative 10-15 million you'll see some results. Especially if all the people talking about moving upthread actually follow through. [/quote]

They won't leave.  The greener grass is an abstraction, not the reality for most people unless they are unsuccessful financially and need a socialist-style government to support them on the backs of taxpayers.  [/quote]
"socialist style of government" = taking care of people.

Thanks for agreeing with me that the US is only good for making money.

This country has a huge problem with wealth gap. No other first world country has such a large gap like ours.  So yes, the average person is much better off in other first world countries compared to the US.

Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, the Irish... and Israelis are happier than we are (and why not? We give them billions so that their citizens can get universal healthcare); we have the worst gun violence and deaths; we have the highest incarceration rate compared to other developed countries.

We are great at glorifying greed, and telling individuals to pull themselves up by their bootstraps all while handing out billions to industries that back Rs, like farming.

Not saying those other countries don't have issues. Of course they do. There's not such thing as a perfect country, but they certainly have a better qol than the average Americans do.

DH is from the UK, and he's noticed over the past 30 years that the cost of living in the US has surpassed the UK, and he's right.   The US is right below Finland.

Healthcare index: US is just above the Philippines and way below Mexico.

Quality of life here is great, if you have money.
