    It amazes me that there isn’t a mass exodus going on in the US

    This may blow your mind but there’s thing called “laws” that prevent Americans from simply moving to another country and living there. You need to immigrate, you need paperwork, you need a job, you need to prove to their country that you’re useful there… you know, all the things Americans do to other countries.

    I mean, yes, would I like to move to Germany tomorrow? Absolutely. Can I? No, it’s not that simple.

      This also ignores that since 2008 there has been a large exodus. Americans are leaving whenever they get the chance.
