That the EU has 100million more inhabitants, a history of relocating to the US or american culture and language being extremely present all over western society?
>Nowhere is perfect but as a world traveler I’d say the USA is pretty great.

- nonethewiser 3y ago> a history of relocating to the US or american culture and language being extremely present all over western society? Well these just reinforce his point
- Dylan16807 3y agoThis history suggests there was opportunity at one point, at least. The culture/language being widespread doesn't say anything about the USA being better. How does that reinforce his point?
- ikekkdcjkfke 3y agoThe startup culture started there

- nemo44x 3y agoI think the history isn’t relative today. It’s skilled Euros moving to the USA. Not the “poor and tired”. If you’re skilled/smart then the USA will offer a much higher quality of life. This is why these types of people move to the USA and Europe suffers from brain drain. (Hint - high taxes chase people away to better places!) There are exceptions though! More Americans move to Norway than the other way. It’s a richer country so that makes sense.
