I left the US where I was born years ago and it had nothing to do with economic reasons. For me it's all about culture. The way the people act and treat each other is what's most important to me.

You could not pay me enough to live in the west again.

So you're wrong if you think people only move because of economics. This may be true of people in a shithole like India where there is feces in the streets, but San Francisco is the same thing, a shit filled hell hole.

There are better places in the world and it has nothing to do with economics.
