This year's new, accessible garden is really delivering the produce. The extra-wide aisles (3 ft/0.9 m, enough for a wheelchair or walker) help with air and light as well, and because every part is reachable from a kneeling bench, it's easy to plant, trim, and control weeds.
3,000 lb (1,360 kg) of new soil helped as well, of course.

I find that generally when people say the US pays better, I highly doubt they're talking about grocers, fast food worker, service industry workers and etc. People generally would talk about "aspirational" careers like STEM, finance, medical and etc.

And you might have to have paid >$10K/year for private school to get them into those US universities, if your school district wasn't well funded.
And after they graduate, they'll lose their health insurance coverage.
Lots of hidden costs to chip away at an IT pay diff. 🙁
