- dustedcodes 1y agoUntil you come here and realise that your 300k US job only pays 60k here, of which you get taxed more than a third of it and then your taxes only buy you a 2 year NHS waiting list where by the time you get to see a doctor your tumour has grown to the size of a tennis ball and you’re going to die because you couldn’t get healthcare fast enough.
