This is The Thing. The list is much longer. On the other hand there are many problems that are worse here as well. But for me the main thing is that in US people are dying or lose everything just because someone in the family got sick. This is sick!


Long prison sentences for non-violent crimes also ruin lives. Police indiscriminately killing unarmed citizens because they are armed and trained to shoot first also ruins lives. Non-existent support for mental health problems also ruins lives. Major homeless problems in all major cities with no long term solutions also ruins lives. Shall I go on?


Those are probably issues that are mostly irrelevant to both the parent poster and the discussion at hand.

It seems doubtful this family man would move to the US and immediately become a homeless, mentally ill victim of police violence.

Everyone agrees the US has plenty of issues (and there's plenty of homeless in Europe too), but you're replying to someone mentioning his personal reasons and telling him a laundry list of other issues that America has.


No, because it's not relevant. Thanks.
