……………………………...… so what? More room for the rest of us.
Idiots romanticize living overseas, as they have never been there. There are some cool places in Europe and Asia for sure. However, America has such a wide range of natural scenery to explore and (presumably) everyone speaks English.
I never understood why anyone would want to move away from their kids, but I guess I have different priorities.
I have two close family members who have chosen to move to different countries. I don't think they found it a problem to learn a second language or to explore Europe as easily as we explore the USA. One visits frequently (obviously not right now) and the other hasn't been back since moving years ago. They also didn't leave their children behind; one took her kids with her and the other didn't have children until he got married and had them overseas.
My son is a senior at MSU, is an ace engineering student and almost fluent in German. He's seriously considering finishing his masters abroad in Germany and living there FT.
I could see him staying put. As far as I'm concerned my kids are going to be the one's saddled with the Federal debt, which frankly they shouldn't have to have been. At some point taxes will go up, social spending will go down. Make a better living elsewhere.
Leaving the U.S. was the best decision I, as an engineer, ever made. I’m a permanent resident now of a low tax, business friendly country with an excellent national healthcare system that costs me $100 a month. Plus the coronavirus pandemic is a thing of the past here because the government did everything right from the beginning including ensuring ample supplies of PPE for everyone.

Yep...along with all wearing the PPE without protest and complaint like a good number in America...which will drag out the lockdown timeline that much longer now...along with increased infection cases and deaths...
