Read history man, what the far left is doing is actually nothing new. It’s been tried in and attempted many times throughout world history and always with the same outcome. Complete utter destruction of a great society. Y’all are destroying this country and deep down inside of yourselves you have to know it’s true. You’re not just destroying one aspect you’re destroying it from every possible angle. You get off on it. It’s an in your face kind of stuff. The only problem is, eventually it’s going to come full circle and you all will be the ones paying for it. “Make your own bed” comes to mind here. You’re gonna dream of a day when America was balanced and the left dreamed of their utopia Waze but realized they weren’t reality.
No, no, the people who are destroying this country are the ones who have been robbing the federal budget blind in order to compensate for huge tax breaks for people who don't need them.
Liberals are staying in US, because they want to build a better America.
Where the dollar has reached 1-1 parity with the Euro for the first time in the 21st century. And while our gas is at $5 a gallon , Germany is offering monthly unlimited travel by euro-rail for 9 euros a month that’s now $9 bucks a month to travel all over a country unlimited travel
We used to say live in America because take home pay goes way farther , there’s no taxes to pay for healthcare and parental leave and massive social services, BUT
With the doubling and tripling of monthly rents, that more than equates what is like an average Joe getting hit with an encroaching cost of living that leaves NOTHING to be saved . And doing a cost-benefit analysis on moving to Hamburg, Germany or Barcelona, Spain or somewhere in Prague or a villa in Montenegro and working remote vpn …. And having those costs of living
Yes it looks like it is for the first time maybe ever in recent history , mathematically true that you can save more money not living in America than you can living in America …. Because thousands and thousands a month for rent gas and medical and student loans is hitting us harder than European taxes are hitting Europeans
The Western World is the continents facing the North Atlantic and a few exclaves. "Freedom" is a fairly uniform lifestyle across that map. Who knows what the helll our handlers count or don't count. Of alll the men in the entire Western World who are incarcerated, more than half of them, maybe 3/4, are Americans and their conditions are by far the must brutal and inhumane. What kind of freedom is that? Americans lose their jobs, homes, family, for saying words like him, colored, disabled, and the vigilantes need no guns to enforce it.
This might come as a shock to the average Liberal, but most of the better countries in Europe have WAY STRICTER immigration laws and policies than here in America…. So!!! Just saying I’m moving to Europe isn’t very realistic since you are more likely to be deported back to the United States once you stay past the average 6 month stay.
I was stationed in Germany for three years and rented a German apartment, away from the base for close to two years. What I remember the most was my German friends were always complaining about their extremely high tax rates. Being an American Soldier, I was exempt from most having my apartment inspected by German tax collectors since by German law, you have to pay a yearly tax on your TV and other furnishings you own. ALSO!! All the Germans I knew, wanted to immigrate to the US!!
After leaving the Army, I traveled to several other countries in Western Europe and all I know was I was so glad to get back to the United States…. Even when landing in Newark, NJ!!
Honestly, the average American is too lazy to actually move anywhere, let alone to Europe. My better half’s sister wanted to spend a year working and traveling around Europe…. Only to return back to the US after a month. I tried to tell her that you can’t “just” work (legally) in every single Western European country and if caught, you will be processed, spend close to a month in detention BEFORE being deported back to the U.S.
Expat here, who has lived in several countries, few things:
1. You can’t move, live, or work long term in any country without a visa, period.
2. Europe is expensive as hell. You want cheap then try SE Asia or South America.
3. Germany, again, you’ll need a visa to move, live, and work there. They have strict immigration laws.
4. You better learn German. Germany is not an English friendly country like Netherlands. I lived in Germany for a year and was very dependent on Google translate.
5. You don’t need to apply for citizenship or marry some local. Again, you need to find a company who can sponsor you a visa, or be really rich, or have a remote job.
"Europe is expensive as hell". A general statement without much meaning. In actuality many countries in Europe would be extremely cheap if you keep your US income. And that's what the OP mentioned. I'm in Italy now, in a major tourist area. Significantly cheaper than ... Dallas. Now, that's just from a tourist point of view - food, drinks, etc. Assuming one knows how to avoid tourist traps.
$5 for a cup of coffee in Switzerland, you wonder why they eat so much fondue.
Meat.esp BEEF is expensive in Europe.
