America used to be a place you could come to work to be able to support yourself and your family.
Looking back over the last quarter century it seems to me that we’re seeing a reversal of this trend. American born citizens so overburdened by the failures of their country that they dream of moving somewhere they can support themselves, and maybe finally begin to live their lives.
What are your thoughts?
This has proven true for me. I’ve since moved to Canada and my quality of life has improved in many ways. Just the free healthcare alone in Canada is enough for me to never move back to the states
In many ways the USA does not care for it’s people.
Not only that, we’ll allocate 800 billion a year for eight wars, then tack on another 100 billion for a war that isn’t even ours, and 98% of voters are still going to vote for the ruling parties next year. This is despite the fact that we’re all paying 30-50% more to live, college is unaffordable, health care is likewise unaffordable, the right to housing is evaporating before our eyes, and in a few years we will have to fight for water.
We have to look back at the great civil rights leaders of the 20th century. We must not accept oppression. We must work hard for a decent world for our descendants, not the ruling class’ “productivity”.
How did you weigh out cold vs. no health care. I often think I’d rather die than be exposed to snow more than 1 time a year lol :/.
Otherwise, CA sounds pretty awesome ngl. They need any more engineers ;)?
I’m on the west coast of Canada and I moved from Pennsylvania - the weather here is a milder version of PA. The summers get hot but not quite to the top end of PA’s heat, and the winters are much warmer than PA’s winters (sometimes it doesn’t even snow).
So it depends where you live in Canada, a lot of places aren’t that different than a lot of states.
But if you go way up north, that’s where you get to the places where most people think of Canada - cold and snowy.
And yes, engineers are in very high demand (at least in my area).
