    Or you mean now that the facade of the US has been eroded and the racist violent cess pool that is truly there is exposed, less people want to dedicate their life there… Wow, what a concept. You find almost anyone who wants to go to the US that comes from a country that functions. The US is literally the last choice or an outright refusal.

    It is of course still a fantastically popular destination for those where the soft power propaganda of Hollywood works, or are escaping true poverty and crime. Something is much better than what they have. The rest of the developed world however, has developed much further.

    The only, and literally only, things I’ve ever heard about the US in a positive light in the past few years is the high income potential and beautiful natural parks. The parks is a load of crap. Beauty like that exists all over the world, but it isn’t marketed as well as the US or as famous by movies. Fair enough excuse to visit.

    High income potential is the only upside. And with remote work anyone who can work for a US company to pocket the paycheque and live outside its borders, that’s the new American dream.
