If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

      Some of us are actually aware of how fucked up the overton window is in our country you know.

      I consider myself a library socialist and anarcho-syndicalist, and yes, I do support free healthcare, among other things.

        Sorry I sounded condescending. USA just seems like such a shithole country right now and my guess is that it’s only going to get worse.

          It seems that way because you consume our media. Which is entertainment disguised ad news. News doesn’t generate as much clicks and likes (and thus ad revenue) unless it gets people all riled up.

          Plenty of things to fix, and no doubt there are better places to live (but you could say that about any country) but I have no desire to move.

                  I was curious how smart ass your response to me. Right on cue.

                  How trusting of you. So your news source “reviews” the news, laced with its own bias and agenda, from another country, and regurgitates it to you. I’m honestly not sure if that’s worse or better than getting it from the source country. I wouldn’t trust my countries ability to provide me with unbiased journalism about the ongoings of another country. Especially if they’re an enemy.

                    My news sources very rarely review other news sources. When it comes to stuff that concerns larger issues in society, I often think that foreign news give some healthy new angles so I really don’t think that domestic news are generally better at anything. I wouldn’t really call Sweden an enemy of the US but our proximity to the actual enemy make us pretty uncomfortable with the Republican party’s bullshit right now.
