   @Tay0 (Of note: net positive doesn't mean *great*. It means that if the government were to implode tomorrow, most citizens would be worse off.)

     @Tay0 Personally, I don't think it's terrible here right now at all. There's a ton of problems, and a lot of pointless suffering, all of which NEED to be addressed ASAP, but *on the whole*, I think America is a net positive for (most) citizens.

     My sole concern right now is whether it's getting *better* or *worse*. Certain trends indicate the answer is worse: the increasing concentration of corporate power, worsening corruption, dismantling of civil rights, radicalization, ...

     Did you ever notice that people that get pissed because of this decision or that event and announce that they're rage quitting the USA, hardly ever pull the trigger on that decision. I guess the grass isn't quite so green on the other side of the fence after all. Despite our problems the USA is probably one of the best places to immigrate.
