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 am this demographic (well, top 10%). I don’t want to even have a whiff of worry about gun violence, and I have a moral objection to the US’ attitude towards health care and treatment of those in poverty.
In my industry people work themselves to death and brag about it. It’s disgusting. I want to not be made to feel guilty when I leave work at 5:30 to spend time with my family.
Some people stay and fight the good fight. Try to change from within. While admirable, that ain’t me. I got mine, now I donate based on % my net worth to causes I believe in and say good riddance to the rat race.
(Please don’t smoke me I’ve spent years in therapy trying to disentangle my entire sense of self worth from being PrOdUcTiVe)
