Nothing like constantly trying to tell everyone how much better it is elsewhere to understand it isn't.

Just ask those who say they "would" move just under what conditions they would do so and the list gets longer the more they talk.
ROTFL, what baloney!
I would be in New Zealand, or Ireland right now[along with some relatives], and no conditions required, except that immigration was allowed. They already have better conditions than the US!
#1 they don't have America's POS unbelievably oversized government!

What? These terrific countries won't allow you to move there? Why not?

The poster stated it in their post. I thought you said you were "sincere" earlier ?
Changed your mind ?

If you are in college, have the right skills (STEM/Finance) or are retired with sufficient income then you have options to emigrate as many first world countries want these types of people.

But for the rest it's pretty hard to get into any first world country.

I am sincere. I do wish she could and would leave. I haven't changed my mind at all.

And yes, I know it's hard to get into any first world country. Including the US - legally anyway.

Yes, the US is a first world country and lots and lots of folks want to move here too.

Then why did you ask ? Should have been self evident from reading that poster's comment.

You wear your faux sincerity well.

Plenty of Brits retire there, so many that entire towns are almost British. I wouldn't move there if you gave it to me for free. The Spanish government can't seem to grasp the concept of property rights as some retirees have lost everything when they had their home confiscated and bulldozed by the government for not having proper building permits taken out by the builder. Such a corrupt country should never have been allowed into the European Union. In some towns, there has been a backlash in some places by Spaniards against the British.

EXACTLY! THE ONLY reason she[the snotty-phony-know-it-all-*****] is in this thread, is to insult/harass those of us who are part of that third that WISH we could emigrate out of this hellhole!

This 64 year old-never employed widow thanks you HappyTexan!
