    I can’t remember the last time I saw anything that made me think “I would like to go to America”.

    These days it’s just another thing to add to the ever increasing list of reasons NOT to go there.

      I live in a third world country with a crumbling infrastructure, shitloads of violence and crime, a rapidly rising cost of living, crap working opportunities and corrupt government.

      Americans live in a first world country where it seems more and more like most of the problems I mentioned are somehow worse there and the ones they haven’t got yet are on the horizon.

      I used to think it would be my future home. Now I’m looking for literally anything other than the US/China.
