If you read the article it is clearly about America.

  And if you read the two comments in question?

    I would expect suggesting possible immigration/leaving extended family/taking a massive pay cut over improving ones home would be a preposterous response! I suspect you know its preposterous but are enjoying some sort of pride in Europe? The idea that you need to move to a different continent for something so simple and attainable by other means is... Idk, you've lost me. Have a good one!

      You’re way overthinking this. OP said they’d “give anything”. Moving countries is a far cry from giving anything. It’s a very pleasant experience in fact, for many, especially if you’re in software engineering as most people here likely are.

        It is completely ignoring common aspects of life. People have kids, pets, families. The list goes on. Moving to another continent and dealing with the legal ramifications is absurd as a single dude. It is a beaurocratic nightmare for a family. I can’t believe I have to explain this to adults but here I am!

          I’ve moved over twenty times in my life, countries over ten, I know exactly how difficult it is. Which is to say: yes it’s a big step, but no it’s not that big a deal. And again, this isn’t what this little interaction was about, and you’re making assumptions about the person I replied to. I am not forcing them to move, jeez.
