As someone who has travelled and lived overseas (and knows many people who do) it's not as glamorous as it sounds.JohnnyYou » 06 Sep 2026, 6:29 am » wrote: ↑ I am seeing a lot of Americans who enjoy living outside of the US rat cage..
In the US you have (by world standards) clean air and water. Food is bland / subpar unless you live in NYC, one of the Texas or Florida metros, Boston, LA, or SF.
Everything is overpriced by 30 - 50 % except TEEVEEs.
Most of it is a boring matrix of boxes known as suburbs to hold people's stuff, which is still more attractive than slums and favelas.
