    Their intentions do not disqualify the legitimate point made though. As a European, the last time I considered I could maybe live in the former united states was around 1997. So well before it turned full-on shithead Magastan.

      Sure but… does he keep meeting Americans that moved and didn’t know life could be that way though?

      More than one thing can be true at a time but while this reads like just some guy who keeps going to the local pub and meeting Americans who talk about how great life is after moving, in reality he’s a business man making a sales pitch.

      It’s kind of working too. The amount of people here who didn’t think to research who this guy is and just took his word for it is… something.

      I’m not saying the guy is a grifter, I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s right or wrong. My point is to make people aware this is a sales pitch not a genuine observation. And it’s a sales pitch by a “spiritual guru”, for what that’s worth

      Personally, the US is a big place and so culture varies state-to-state. Where I live, people don’t ask you what you do for a living when you first meet them
