The "economy driven by greed" is, in essence, what also makes the US the best place in the world to start and operate a for-profit business.
Good luck finding another country that is hospitable to a non-citizen starting a business, presents a ready market (all the Web2.0 stuff aside, it is still helpful to be close to the majority of your initial user base), has a legal system that affords you some protection, and lastly - has a tax system that allows you to actually keep a fair percentage of the money you earn.
I don't really care if you mod me down or not, but your post sounds childish and naive. You want to "start a company", but you don't even know where in the world to go, or where English is spoken? Have you done any research at all on this topic (and I wouldn't count posting a question here and expecting people to do your homework 'research')?
- isoadventure 18y agoGosh that's negative. I simply haven't yet worked outside the US, and thought perhaps some countries with national languages other than english might have english-speaking workplaces. Since News.YC has such an international following, I figured that others could answer (and they have). Sheesh.
- brk 18y ago"I simply haven't yet worked outside the US" is much different than "I'm sick of the US" You're asking about leaving the US to supposedly start a company. This is much different than looking for the change of scenery and experience of exploring a different country. You're in the BEST place in the world to start a company. Not recognizing that fact and wanting to start a company shows, to me, a level of immaturity and short-sightedness that is somewhat frustrating. Sorry if you didn't like my post, I write what I feel.
