Dammit I’d be hosed on both counts 😂 The biggest difference I observe with visiting even the bluer states is that success is something to be aspired to not begrudged. This includes the government who are actually inclined to let you keep your money & generate wealth. Even the worst excesses of the republic of California is still mild compared to the active en****ification we tolerate in Europe.

Whilst I get the point, the example of kitchen equipment seems a strange one; I’ve yet to see something in the US that isn’t available in the UK. Perhaps the fact that all but the larger houses in the UK lack a separate ‘laundry’ says more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Cousin emigrated a few years ago (following a yank wife) and with 2 kids in tow. Colorado. He’s bright and hard working and it’s worked well for him. Zero chance of him coming back. His comments - if you’ve got half a brain and a work ethic, it’s going to work out fine. Said the Yanks as a whole aren’t as bright or quick as average Brits. Said they don’t have our ingrained jealousy of success / successful people and class counts for nothing. He keeps trying to convince me and the wife out, but work and kids are anchored here. My brother is currently $20k into US immigration attorney fees - sees Europe in irreversible decline and wants a better future for his kids. Looking at Idaho I think - red on red state, lowest crime rate, big space and low uncontrolled mass immigration. Indeed, it’s surprising how hard it is to get a green card when going through the proper channels 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago I worked in the USA for a year. Long Island, New York. Great place and great people despite the reputation that New Yorkers have. Fishing was amazing. As a young man, it was an eye-opener in the sense of realising that there was a better quality of life out there (I'm from the UK originally).
