Those damn lazy immigrants only want to exploit us! We can't accomodate them all!

(I hope it's clear that this is a joke)

If only Europe wanted us there! If moving there were easy, I'd have done it years ago. Unfortunately, I probably need to wait until I retire.

I vacationed in Germany recently. Something about it just felt right... But it would be hard to be so far from my family, and probably harder to make friends or find a church. :(

Church? Easy. Catholic in the South, EKD in the North, take it or be a weirdo cultist. Orthodox is acceptable.

When America sends its people, they’re not sending their best.

And only the poor and/or uneducated will stay behind. The USA is going down fast.

[-] Vince@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

I don't think that's really true. The US is still the largest economy and attracts many educated and highly skilled people in the tech sector.

Certain parts are declining for sure, but I don't think that applies to the whole country.

The educated are paid way more in the US. Americans buy houses and stuff. Unimaginable for most Europeans who don't get to inherit one. Also Europe is on the decline. Due to terrible demographics mostly.

Buying a house in a soulless suburb and living on the driver's seat of a car staring at nothing but other cars and concrete? No, thanks. I believe in the inherent superiority of urbanity.

Yeah it's very attractive but not the easiest to obtain citizenship.

I'm bitter because I was never well off enough to escape to Europe. Best I could do is maliciously complying with USA capitalism and becoming an anti-consumer

I went as a student (free university!) and managed to stay.

I lived in Italy for two years and would love to go back someday.

[-] sab@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

I'm approaching the end of a four-year stay in Italy, and I'm considering chaining myself to a fence post or something. The country is a mess, but the quality of life just cannot be beat.

Wish I had the money to afford moving out there alone. Jealous.
