Why do people insist on staying in the US when they are so miserable there?

You have a US passport. If you’re healthy and have useful skills, you can immigrated to like 100+ countries. How many people are able to move but afraid? For them, their misery is a choice (or a hobby)

You know most countries have laws that prevent people from just moving and working there? And they prioritize people with certain skills, sometimes require you to have a certain amount of money in the bank.

I know you’re in denial, but the comment literally specified “100+” and “useful skills” implying you’re, you know, getting a visa. Most countries aren’t like the US where the populace will protect illegal immigrants

Have you looked into this? Please share one country that you’d suggest Americans move to and which would allow it.

I’ve immigrated twice. South Korea was particularly pleasant and they have a need for senior engineers

Lmao you’re either full of shit or a moron. Immigration is a long, expensive process and most countries have extremely high standards. I took us 11 months, a lawyer, and shit ton of form fees to get my approval for Australia.

Anyone who has gone through this knows most people in the US can’t do it.

Guess I’m a moron for thinking 11 months of waiting is worth a lifetime of better quality? Lol

This is what I mean by people are living in misery as a choice

You’re a moron for thinking everyone has the money and qualifications to migrate lol

For the second time now, I invite you to reread the part where I said people with “useful skills”: lemmy.ml/comment/18010515

I’m not denying that people dealt a bad hand can’t easily immigrate… But I am saying people who can immigrate seem not to. Which makes me believe their misery is their choice
