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)
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but a few caveats.
California is not churchy at all
America, and especially California, is more culturally diverse than Spain. This is reflected in the food but impacts daily life as well.
It’s true that California is more diverse than Spain. Absolutely. I found upper middle class San Diego too churchy for me. I don’t like the assumption some people make that you have to be a believer. I was in military circles, admittedly. So you’re right there, too. I shouldn’t have tarred California’s reputation with that accusation. It’s more of a general American problem once you leave the coasts.
If you don’t believe in God and have a religion… then something else fills the void… what could it be… wokeism, climate change…
