      With for profit prisons and multi decade terrorism charges for people whose only crime is being a leftist or the color of their skin, yes.

      It’s just not worth the risk imho

          if your rich and able/willing to compartmentalize your conscience (and in good health, you have to be super-rich to afford getting sick in US) it’s fine enough, but then being rich is fine everywhere

          It 100% is. Which is why the US constantly has problems with people immigrating illegally as even that idea is preferable to staying in the country they currently live.

      I think it is. I have a few people on YouTube I follow who left America and it’s like they realized that there is an entire world out there where you won’t feel awful every day.

      People who move to Netherlands or Sweden, western and northern Europe.

      I think Americans assume everyone is as miserable as them or worse. Until they go to western Europe and talk to people there.

      Its a massive culture difference for one. People don’t live to work in Europe. Its a job, not a life.
