Seems like it’s a well known fact that being poor or even middle class (if that will even exist anymore) in the US disposes one to a very low quality of life (e.g., living in areas with higher crime rates, bad healthcare, the most obvious being cost of living, …etc)
On the flip side, what are some reasons why the top 1-5% percentile would also want to leave the US? (e.g., taxes/financial benefits, no longer aligning with the culture? I would assume mainly the former)
If you are in the top 1-5%, is living in the US still the best place to live? (as many people would like to suggest)
Why would anyone want to raise kids in a Mcmansion, cut off from the rest of the world, with no means for the kids to grow up independently? Here in the Netherlands kids grow up in small houses but they learn how to ride a bike at age 5, and then by age 8 they are free to visit their friends and go to sports or whatever else by themselves. In the US your kids will ALWAYS be dependent on you to drive them around which means they will socialise far less. It makes kids disappear deeper into their phones, become lonely and all other problems that come with that. I believe that any parent that wants to shelter their kids in a huge suburban house is only doing that for selfish reasons.
Because a big house has more space to enjoy, and it doesn’t mean you’re cut off from the rest of the world. There are people in big houses who socialize a lot, and people in apartments who are shut ins.
Many kids in USA learn to ride bikes at a young age and are also free to visit friends. All kids in USA aren’t dependent on being driven around.
You have a lot of misconceptions and assumptions.
that’s nuts. There’s a lot predadors out there. I’d never leave my kids just like that.15-16 yes, 8… hell no.
