If you want to make lots of money, and you are willing to compete in the job market, it’s a better place to be than Europe. IT’s even the case that the American middle class has far more disposable income than the European middle class. But it’s also certainly the case that America faces a lot more crime and it has worse social safety nets.

It’s not going to stay that way with the policies going on destroying our global standing. These fascist morons are dismantling the global order that made America’s power and wealth possible. Not to mention they’re making it a progressively shittier place to live. Taking over cities with the military and harassing the commerce centers of this country is not going to make our economy excel. They’ve already all but killed the tourist industry from out of country. The whole stock market is propped up on AI that multiple studies are showing they can’t get return on investment on. That bubble will burst. The tariffs are turning allies to enemies. The bills passed are killing the social safety net which will only make crime worse. Still so many people can’t see beyond the propaganda the billionaire owned media pumps out. I am not at all optimistic about the future of this country.
