I live at a 3rd world country and only go to usa to buy cheaper things and visit tourist attractions.
While the people is nice most of the times i would never consider moving there permanently.
The lack of decent healthcare, amount of fats, awful food, the taste of tap water are just a few reasons.
I disagree, not with that part, but with the source of the taste, I read somewhere that it is for the amount of minerals.
Fun fact, the second time I went to USA we were drinking tap water because we are used to that in my country, the last day we find this note in the drawer that said: Dont drink from the tap, the water comes from the pond in the complex this was in Orlando Florida.

90% of those that come here, forget the basis of our Constitution, Rights & Speech nowadays.
It is free shit-but they're gaming the system set forth by our "elected" ((())).
It's a game that benefits those in control. Except the odds are always stacked against you.

America's got its plusses and minuses.
Good place to be rich, horrible place to be poor.
Pretty high crime rate (higher murder rate than, say, Liberia, Somalia, or Rwanda). Pretty high Gini coëfficient. 21% of children living in poverty.
Obvious, indisputable human rights violations, especially of the right to privacy.
It's hard to generalise about the overall 'goodness' of an overall 'country'. Life in Orange County doesn't resemble life in Baltimore City. Statistical indexes that try, like the Where-to-be-born Index or the HDI, typically have the U.S. around 15th in the world, which is why people from the ~180 countries below that might want to come.

SOMEONE is selling them a bill of goods (FRAUD). America is NOT the land of opportunity anymore, it's DEBT drowned, there is NO freedom if it's in danger of being INFLUENTIAL to the elites. They (elites) want more SUCKERS, is my guess. Eventually they will abandon us citizen nobodies, leaving us holding the bag for THEIR debts, and retreat to their previously designed and built personal shangrilas in OTHER nations. Probably in nations like China. Whom they HELPED in destroying us as a viable nation.

Because its worse where they are and they re sick and tired of fighting for food each day... and corrupt politicians use them to throw universal suffrage votes for governing roles in government. Senators have been shrieking.. The Barbarians are at the gates... since roman times. Most people s history lessons stop around industrial revolution times.. its done on purpose.

Basic lol I've seen gardeners with $70,000 chevy trucks or illegals with $200,000 maggot wagons. They get more than basic.
