Used to dream of living in the US, moving our business there.
Not just due to this, but the more I read and learn about the US, the more that is exposed about the US, the less I now want to live there.
- kghose 12y agoDon't come here. It's terrible, I tell you. Just terrible.
- MrBuddyCasino 12y agoCan't tell if sarcasm or serious
- kghose 12y agoWhatever you do, don't come here to find out.
- alexeisadeski3 12y ago>moving our business there That would be genuinely insane.
- briandh 12y agoIt would depend a lot on where he/she would be moving from how "insane" it would be. Though I agree there are better jurisdictions than the US to move a business to.
- alexeisadeski3 12y agoDoes any other jurisdiction ban one's company from leaving? None that I'm aware of. Just losing that future option value is sufficient to deem such a move insane regardless of original jurisdiction - unless for some reason there is zero other option.
- lingoberry 12y agoEvery country has its problems, but among western nations it's an outlier in many ways: the police state, militarisation, surveillance, car dependence, obesity, love of guns, poverty, crime, absolute zero trust in government, culture of suing, lobbying, "democracy", horrendous health-care system etc. For me it was just too much, I couldn't take it so I moved back. It's not that my life was bad or directly affected by most of these things except in a few instances. As a healthy, young, childless engineer I was truly privileged in this kind of society, but I realised I don't want to live in a society where almost everybody else suffers. I always enjoyed American culture, that's one of the reasons why I tried living there in the first place, but I think I can enjoy it better from afar.
