 Genuinely not hating, but I think a lot of Americans are super-America-centric in their worldview. They'd do well to travel and work/live overseas to see how it is in other countries. 

Very different taxation, regulation, culture, lifestyle possibilities out there.  
 It’s good perspective to travel for sure but always reinforces the fact that the US is the best still and it’s not close. 
 Lots of people don't see it that way nowadays. Not sure if you've heard this ep of mine with Andrew Henderson, we talk a bit about how and why he renounced American citizenship in favour of life abroad. https://stephanlivera.com/episode/564/  
 He’s not biased at all lol that’s literally his business. He’s too smug to listen to for me . I’m not hating either bro I’m glad we’re following each other again I know u missed meeee 
 Yes it's his business, but he also left America before making that his business if that counts for anything.  
 It does but I’m guessing he made his money/got educated in the US first and then left which also is a different pov than say starting out in those countries he’s shilling. He for example has a condo in bogota and got residency from it, but that’s different than being born in Colombia and basically having no chance at social mobility. It’s all relative. I could do that too but I wouldn’t shit on America in the process. And it will still be a third world country with third world infrastructure. And only the criminals and police have guns
