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?

    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).
