I used to think of moving to USA. I'm a pretty good programmer and it would've been nice to work in an American startup. When reading these news, about SOPA/PIPA, about the crazy amount of spying and control in the airports, about forcing to decrypt my laptop, I don't want to go there even for a holiday anymore. I'm happy here in Berlin and even though the salaries are half what I would get from Silicon Valley, the cost of living is also much lower. And I'm not alone.
