Carry on.


When they get to Europe and see that they cannot do as they wish, and that these societies are way more conservative, I wonder how long they will last. Unemployment in Spain at more than 20% and yet I see some clowns wanting to go there.

In France getting a job is like winning the lottery. In fact Air France announced 3,000 termination, and the CEO literally had to flee SHIRTLESS for his life after he was attacked by the workers.

Yes our health care system is scandalous but Europe has its own problems, and with an ageing population, stagnant economies and a diminishing tax base, how long will they be able to sustain a single payer system which provides decent access to quality care?

Most Americans couldn't live in Australia, their immigration laws are quite strict. I believe you have to have proof of income? I could be wrong, but seems like they don't take seniors either.

The majority opinion of 2,000 individuals cannot even come close to representing a population of more than 350 million people. That would be like asking a random person in a mall if the citizens of the state in which they reside like fried pickles.

That's what I was thinking. They would have to poll at least 1 million for this to even be credible.

A poll of 2000 speaks for hundreds of millions I guess.

There are those that find a way.

Germany and their free college education is one way and over 40% of those foreign students stay in Germany after they graduate.

Over 4000 Americans are studying in German colleges.

Losing one college educated American is worth how many uneducated, poor, unskilled immigrants ?
There's a brain drain going on. While only a few leave, those are the ones that can earn their own way either through jobs or retirement. What we have flooding into America are poor, welfare ready, third world country people.

No, they don't.

Yes, it does.

Statistics requires about 2,000 people to represent the population of the US (which is 320,000,000 btw.)

https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/

For 320 million people, a confidence level of 95% (standard), and a margin of error of 2%, the number of people needed to accurately represent the population is 2,401. For a 3% margin of error, you'd need just 1,068 people.
