Those damn lazy immigrants only want to exploit us! We can't accomodate them all!
(I hope it's clear that this is a joke)
/s is easier to point out it is a joke
IDK, does the salary deficit makes up for it?
I cannot speak to what working in Europe is like, but as someone who works in the public sector in a very blue state, the work/life balance and benefits are unmatched. Yes, the pay is slightly less, but it is more than worth it imo if it means I only have to work 4 days and 35 hours a week, and not 6 days and 70 hours a week.
I lived in Italy for two years and would love to go back someday.
I'm approaching the end of a four-year stay in Italy, and I'm considering chaining myself to a fence post or something. The country is a mess, but the quality of life just cannot be beat.
If only Europe wanted us there! If moving there were easy, I'd have done it years ago. Unfortunately, I probably need to wait until I retire.
And only the poor and/or uneducated will stay behind. The USA is going down fast.
I don't think that's really true. The US is still the largest economy and attracts many educated and highly skilled people in the tech sector.
Certain parts are declining for sure, but I don't think that applies to the whole country.

I went as a student (free university!) and managed to stay.
