Exactly, I live in relatively wealthy Western Europe and emigrating to the United States would still be a hell of a lot of work.

It's not 1900 where you can just jump on a boat. Comments like the one you quoted just seem completely divorced from reality.




I moved from one of the shittiest Eastern countries to the "relatively wealthy Western Europe". And it was 2018 where I "just jumped on airplane".

How am I detached from reality when live in it?


Within the EU?

That's an exception due to the freedom of movement rules which don't really exist anywhere else.


Outside.


Maybe the US is but if you have proper education nothing stops you from migrating to switzerland. Dont like german? No worries french and italian are options too.
