I don't understand why Americans want to move to, particularly Europe so badly given they pay higher taxes for public services and earn a whole lot less overall. All the high-skilled people limited by their market in Europe move to the United States to earn more than they do in the old continent.
Have you been in a coma for the last decade?
New poster here. I lived in the UK for years and also worked in Germany for a brief period, plus many work trips to offices in Germany. Europeans make substantially less than Americans, especially at professional roles. Salaries are lower. Cost of living is still pretty high, especially in cities where the good jobs are. Many aspects of QoL is lower, such as housing and material comforts. There are some things they do well, such as national health (which still come with plenty of restrictions) and vacation policies. And I do love the cities. But European economies are more moribund and career growth is more limited. You'd be surprised by how many high performing Europeans have actually moved to the US for careers. Dubai is also hugely popular due to jobs and tax free incomes.
Europe also has significant cultural and political challenges. Some economic related, others over mass migration. The latter is an enormous tension point. And, guess what, European countries have stricter abortion laws than blue America (shocker, eh?). The grass is definitely not greener on the other side of the fence and spending a week in a fancy European city center isn't a taste of real life for the typical European. I've seen a particular hysteria and that is totally clueless among young progressive American women who have no idea what life is really like outside the US.

THIS is why america is going to fail. Not because of all the things 'wrong' with it (although those too) but because americans biggest achilles heel by far is a complete inability to accept and process feedback and constructive criticism.

Just go and overstay your visa. People here do it all the time and are celebrated. Just go somewhere with a one way ticket. What could go wrong?
One of my friends did this, she was planning on marrying a British citizen. He tried to move to the US but couldn't find a job. They both moved back to England when he found a position there and she was illegally employed in her profession months before they got married.
They've never moved back to the US and don't plan to at this point.
Do that or some of these women should go have some anchor baby somewhere with birthright citizenship.

And if none of that works, scream racism, sexism, or national privilege hoping to guilt and gaslight your way to the goodies you deserve just for being You.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I’m one of them.

Yes, you can do that anywhere. Every country just lets people in & lets them stay as long as they want.
And don’t forget to ask for your free housing, medical, & debit card.
And if you go to college, don’t you dare let them charge you anything but the same or less than they charge their citizens.
And the most important thing is to throw a public fit if you don’t get everything you want.
Have lots of kids too and get excited about all the diversity they will be adding to their communities that will be readily welcomed. I'm sure universities will roll out the red carpet and push them to the front of the line too in front of native born citizens.
