Canada should just dissolve their illigitimate nightmare and admit usa was right so we can combine the land and gave more than russia who rn has the most.
It's not theft. Us European take our brightest for granted instead of acknowledging their contribution to society. Americans on the other hand value them. This has been going in for the last two centuries.
@@Theaverageazn247 Taxes aren't that different. If anything, ever so slightly higher. But in EU countries, tax money actually gets spent efficiently and does what it intends to. In the US, it gets eaten up by lobbyists/special interests and contractors that overcharge the government because they can. I don't disagree with the original commenter, but to start criticizing *fiscal policies* of European countries is ridiculous, considering how much better off they are than we are.
I can just say from my own perspective in chemical engineering and having moved countries - salary UK 90k USD (equivalent), USA 250k USD. I like the UK and all but let's be honest and say that was a no brainer.

@danielhalachev4714mental gymnastics. Nobody has been forced to move. It’s a huge economic decision that they have made for themselves and have been utilized by America. Both the U. S and the migrant benefit from the exchange. It’s the country they leave from that must figure out the best course of action for themselves to prosper and attain people. That’s global market policy.

It's not treatment; US doesn't treat people 'better'. It is taxes and regulations. Europeans want the solution to be that they are not green enough, or egalitarian enough, or some other bs that fits their world view. But that is the root of the problem.
@@Nordzumuwhat he means is not acting like California, taking talented productive individuals for granted, and fleecing them for tax money while providing relatively little to them in return.
Smart people (who get paid accordingly) understand basic algebra: US insurance cost is like the function y=6000 (Actual avg personal spend is $5400) Meanwhile the added taxes of living in the Europe is like y=0.075x where x is your income (7.5% is probably a low estimate too) Now kids, what happens at the point of intersection? And it's not like 80k is asking for much out of a productive individual.
The U.S. pays STEM professionals what they deserve to be paid…they’re valued and valuable…im a nurse in the U.S. with dual citizenship…I make more in the U.S. by far as a specialist nurse and I’m also respected as a professional. In Germany 🇩🇪 the health minister, she said “anyone can be a nurse…”. In the U.S. it’s a profession and requires a degree and paid properly. The same is true for many other fields in Europe, they give lip service to these fields but don’t treat them or pay them as though they do respect them. It’s not “stealing” anyone. It’s showing them that they matter professionally.
Since when did nursing become a STEM field? She's right, anyone can be a nurse. Things like specialist nurse, NP or the countless other acronym titles they give to nurses as well as prescription rights without going through medical school or adequate training are a complete non-solution invented by corrupt politicians to address physician shortages.

I would argue that in some sense, they weren't the ones to throw it away. A large part of the reason WW1 happened was because the other nations felt like Germany was becoming too powerful by itself, a new hegemony. They left Germany in heavy debt in its aftermath so that Germany wouldn't be able to do that again. Ironically, it just ended up making the US hegemony.

I am a British physician who just immigrated to America. It was a difficult decision to leave behind my family and friends in the UK but for me it’s worth it because the salaries and career opportunities in the USA are so much better than the UK. American salaries for doctors are literally 5x higher than the UK and working conditions aren’t as miserable as the UKs National Health Service I intend to do everything I can to contribute to the USA as a doctor and with my medical research. The UK didn’t value my skills, my knowledge or experience so I’m glad I’ll be moving to a country that is. I don’t plan to come back to the UK so I’ll put down roots here and hopefully have a family here too. God bless America 🇺🇸
“Didn’t value you you” come on bro just say it like it is. One paid you more, you did it for the money that’s it. Don’t act like the USA cares more about you, just because they pay better.
I am a scientist myself. Coming from a small European country. I'm developing new cancer treatments. In my home country the expected salary in my position is $1500-2000 net per month and an average apartment in the capital city costs >20x average yearly salary. This means that I would never be able to own a home. And I don't want to start a family while renting and moving around every year or so. So, I said fuck it and I went to the US. In the US I get paid about $8300 net per month and I just bought my first 2 bed apartment without any issues at all. And even after paying all expenses each month I am still left with almost double the net salary that I'd make at home... So, yeah, as much as I'd love to live and do my research in my home country (honestly, there are many things about the US that I don't like), it just makes no sense.
In my country a researcher of cancer was not even paid, he moved to the US with his wife and now works at Harvard. No, my country is not developing but it is in the G7 (Italy)

Yeah, people see it as this: Retire at 55 (Just an example age) but until then live worse but still good6 or Retire at 65 (also an example age) but you live a bit better people see it as; well, if I retire 10 years earlier, wouldn't that extra 10 years be better than a scattered 1 extra year of vacation? Europe has better welfare and more vacation days then the US, but, by the amount of time you have without needing to work, the US wins in the end, because you retire earlier cause you have the same amount of money earlier
I always say this... I make probably 50 thousand dollars a year more than a comparable person in western Europe with the same job. My health insurance has a 5k out of pocket maximum. There's no way that you're getting 45k in other social benefits in europe... and when I retire, my social security will be more than someone in Europe would get
nope if you have a phd, or a skill that is very in high demand you cut to the front of the line. I was working in cybersecurity in Japan as a white hacker, and was offered 3 amazing job offers ranging from 175k - 270k dollars plus benefits, compared to my job in Japan only 90k. I took an offer and I got my work pass over the weekend upon landing in the US, and after a month I was a US resident. It's been 3 years now, and I'm in the process of getting citizenship. All paid for my company.
There is a clear difference between skilled workers whose expertise are in high demand everywhere and unskilled workers. Don’t act like you don’t know the difference, you can’t be that stupid.
They also can pay more, in some countries. In others that can't - they can pay at least enough to live comfortably. But they don't. That's the difference.
@@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan6687 Not in general thought. its just the big companies who are the biggest in the world, like nasa, space x etc. You can't access stuff like that anywhere else.

Yep. The crazy thing is that the brightest minds in Canada are always going to be enticed to go work in the US. They benefit from our equitable university system lol
My relatives in the medical field left Canada for the US. I with my IQ of 132 was tempted to move to the US but I lost interest in visiting other countries.
Canadians have been migrating to the US for opportunities for more than 200 years. It's been a thing since America broke off of England. You can even read references to it in stories like Anne of Green Gables - which takes place in Canada. And the bright kids from her school mostly moved to the US.
Why should someone accept less money, pay exorbitant taxes and pay more for everything if he doesn't have to? For top professionals, remaining in Canada means being another average worker. Those social programs in Canada and Europe are irrelevant: it would cost less to pay for those services and you will most likely never need most of them anyway. All these complainers criticize professionals for leaving, but they don't seem to have a problem with athletes or celebrities who leave for better opportunities.
The academic ecosystem in China is bad. You only see those that have imminent benefits especially money get the continuation. There is almost no benefit in staying in China if you want to do theories.

You got the Bureaucreacy fact wrong... the EU adds additional 60k bureaucrats ontop of the already existing ones in each country... Germany for example has 1,9 million bureaucrats for 84 million people alone
Yeah totally absurd number, not sure how they missed that one lol. I’m sure the EU + national governments have many multiples the bureaucrats. Also the “reverse brain drain” numbers probably need a fact check. Many Americans retire in Europe, so they’re not actually working there (or not very much).
Legal immigration laws are easy and open only to other rich europeon countries. You could be a highly educated middle class citizen of an 'undesirable' nation and have more trouble getting to the US than some drug dealing teenager in sweden. Having a shitty passport wiol ruin your life. Being born in africa (even south Africa, south and central asia or eastern europe (think Georgia, not poland), really limits places you can visit as a tourist and as an job seeker. Its partly about race but its not only about race, even japanese and south koreans have a better chance for immigration to the US than the above countries. The exception is if you have a muslim name or have brown (think dark skinned arab) skin. The new dutch prime minister and the some recent laws that France has pushed out recently really isn't great news for the state of islamophobia in the western world.
@@jaylenblount128 I could only find reliable unbiased info for 2016, but according to official immigration statistics, only 13% were refugees and asylum seekers. Some applied for asylum before arriving, some applied after. There might have been a few 'fake' refugees from India or whatever, but most were refugees from Haiti and Venezuela and such. Anyone who immigrated the normal way (>80%) would have to pay pretty large amounts of money for registration, and would also have been vetted thoroughly. Only some Europeans have a high success rate for applications. The only people who are uneducated in this group would be students and relatives.
Then why so many Latin Americans? All the states near the Mexican border consider Spanish and English equal now, doesn't sound like assimilation to me. @@trichi827

@@Mmjk_12 No actually. Exchange students are part of a program that typically only last a few months and is mostly done through high school.. These are international students who are doing their entire college education at this university and are not doing it through some program.
French artisans and engineers left first to surrounding countries and then to America. The Irish exported millions of people from 1820-1930. Talent moves always and for different reasons but usually to live freely.
My Bavarian PhD professor said six years ago :There are so few graduates in physics and chemistry in the US because the courses are prohibitively expensise and people can make fortunes in parasitic jobs in finance and Wall Street. We, the German tax payers, give an excellent education for free to too many scientists, which end up in the US lacking them
I’m sure your Bavarian professor has the sense to know that if the kid is already paying for college anyway (STEM students tend to get scholarships btw), then they’re not going to *not* study the thing they went to college for. This is especially true for “nerds” who have always known that they wanted to study physics or chemistry. Most students don’t study physics or chemistry for the same reason that most are not math majors: those are not easy courses of study, and the vast majority know that it is not for them from before they even leave high school. More find out later on in college that it’s not for them, so they switch majors. Also, people getting physics or chemistry degrees in undergrad are expected to continue on for their PhDs if they hope to find meaningful work in their fields. Again, few are interested in this to begin with. Additionally, a lot of the most lucrative “parasitic” careers on Wall Street are the very ones where people are specifically recruited from universities for their exceptional mathematical talent. If a student performs well in a premier mathematical competition like the Putnam or gains some other kind of recognition, or a referral, or a recommendation from a respected math or physics professor, then they’ll likely be on the radars of math departments across the country in case they apply to join a PhD program, but they’ll also likely be recruited by industry groups with very deep pockets - especially those on Wall Street. Your professor has clearly never heard of a hedge fund or the kind of money they throw at the very brightest math and physics students straight out of undergrad. This is actually something that always has some decently strong, though not unusually talented, students at top universities seriously considering math and physics degrees, though most ultimately stay away due to the difficulty. This has been going on for over 15 years, since every financial or career journal started regularly writing about the “quants” and other mathematical researchers who have taken over Wall Street. So if someone had the interest and the ability to properly study physics and do well, then that might also be the thing that maximizes their earning potential. People this bright also, generally don’t pay anything for college because, again, scholarships tend to be especially generous for this cohort.
Also ... going abroad is not a lightweight decision, there is so much more than money factoring in on this decision.. otherwise Germans would all go to Switzerland.. we all know that there is a natural threshold holding this up. Probably easier for Germans to go to the USA than Switzerland, funny but true.
In India, you are treated like a slave at work (even if you are paid in the Top 3%), the constant extreme competition, bullshit & corruption makes it inhospitable for decent std. of living. Hence, people move to the US. Minus the Wokeness, Drugs & Gun violence, US is a pretty good place for skilled immigrants.
Indians literally practice high level caste system in the US (even after several generations of living there), they have zero rights to complain about wokeness.
Don’t live in high crime areas. While the US homicide rate is high, it paints an incorrect picture that violence is widespread across the nation. The reality is that only specific areas suffer from that high homicide rate, and that many parts of the US have equal or less than the homicide rates of other European Countries. This is true with gun crime as well.
This is so true, my friend's uncle goes to university in America for higher education. He is very smart of course and the best place for higher education is in the US
U forgot about immigration after Russian revolution in 1917-1922. All writers went to Europe. While physics immigrated to the USA. Easiest example is Sicorsky, who made first controllable helicopter(wich was used in WW2 on Pacific). Later his company will create Blackhawk
Earlier still, France rid itself of its Hugenot elites who found so much success in, among others, the UK, a French-sounding surname is a very likely indicator of wealth and status to this day there.
It's the old wealth vs new wealth. Poor countries cannot compete on salaries because they don't have the wealth, which leads to brain drain, which ensures no new wealth is created in that country.

I would gladly move from the US to work in the EU. However they just aren’t paying what my career valued All of the scientists mentioned in the beginning were valued here. Pay your workers EU
Immigrants truly are what gives the US a competitive advantage. However, most of these immigrants do not come to the US as highly skilled to begin with. The US provides the education with world class colleges and universities, requiring a substantial investment that pays off.
They're more likely to take children and younger people and they have to be very hard working that way social security wont run out as quickly, and they're guaranteed hard workers
I have mixed feelings when it comes to "world class colleges". Alot of colleges and Universities in other countries are very much better that those in the US nowadays. What I saw lately shocked me. My old alma mater can easily compete with Stanford. The statement "Your University degree does not count in the USA because of quality reasons" is just a trick to keep competition at bay. So not really. But you definitely have world class prices when it comes to education. Why is it that alot of US and Chinese students come to Germany? Because of the unjustified high prices, 'cause they know the truth.
Having studied in the anglo-sphere, I can tell you that your education is not better than that of continental Europe. Also, your universities are increasingly being ruled by progressive radicals, which means that freedom of speech is not assured there anymore.
Studied at public universities in both US and Germany, the quality of education & university experience is vastly different and justifies the high sticker price of international tuition in the US. The way US-universities vet and select prospective students is also what partly makes up the reputation of certain universities.
This should be realize and learnt by developing country like my country Indonesia, the govrt literally corrupt and they didn't care about the nation's future.

Went on vacation a few years ago to Sydney and stayed at an airbnb house owned by a young French guy and his wife.

@YoheYamatai as Brit, who visited America last year and has family in the US, I was amazed it was like the 90s, not one shop, restaurant or cafe besides 1 Starbucks at JFK Airport took contactless cards, streetlights, and light bulbs off places where filament lights and not LEDs, US internet speeds and the existence of "Data Caps" just pale in comparison to here. In terms of Technology most US cities are comparable to and even behind many African cities
I have EU citizenship but only work for US Fortune500 companies with offices in Europe. I used to work for a European company for 1 year - never again. My past and current US employers (FAANG, other big tech) are much more generous and offer better resources, benefits, and perks + you get to work with top talent every day. In addition, I was able to attend grad school in the U.S. which was fully funded by my US alma mater. So the U.S. paid for my education in a way and I am happy to provide my skills and help to advance my current employer’s business activities in Europe.
Glad someone is paying attention. No one on here are being objective as there is no doubt that if you’re making a good to great salary in the US then of course you’re happy. The fact remains that of all the Industrialized nations the U.S. is the most unequal and therefore you have higher rates of crime, homelessness, drug abused and racism as well. I lived in California for 43 years and I am now retired. I served a three (3) year apprenticeship as a commercial painter in the Union and then performed for 24 years in the Industry with union wages and benefits. In my late 40’s I took labor studies courses in my local community college at night while I worked during the day to help raise 4 children with my wife. I then got hired by the union as an organizer and then as a labor Representative and my salary almost doubled but I was lucky because of workers sacrifice and struggles before me, specially during the depression years of the 30’s. My point is that unions are almost nonexistent in the U.S. and most workers earn a little more than the minimum wage thereby becoming homeless as they cannot afford to pay rent in most urban areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco , San Jose and San Diego as well as many other cities in California. Higher Education is very expensive in the U.S. so many students are in debt before they even graduate and get a job. In Denmark 🇩🇰 a fast food worker at McDonalds makes around $23 per hour and his taxes help pay for his or hers healthcare plus he gets a pension. In the USA you make minimum wage( $7.69 per hour and no benefits). So if you are selfish and don’t care that others have a hard time surviving then the U.S. is the place for you but there is a price to pay with skyrocketing crime, mass shootings (even in schools) crumbling infrastructure and lack of healthcare for the majority of working class families. The Nordic countries have a better model one in which there is access to healthcare, education and decent paying jobs and they don’t have to worry about mass shooters, burglars and every other evil a selfish society manufactures daily. My uncle moved to Germany 🇩🇪 from New York in 1976 and he has a Master Degree from NYU but he chose to stay there and raised a family and is now a retired German Citizen (he speaks four languages and was an Opera singer). Several years ago he had open heart surgery and his taxes paid for it with no out of pocket expenses. In the U.S. a surgery like that can bankrupt you depending on your salary or healthcare costs. Balance is a good thing for a healthy society 😉
If Mexico hadn't been so focused on fucking itself up over the last 500 years, North America would be a scene of eternal rivalry, not unlike that in Europe between France and the UK.
What many people don't realize however is that legal immigration to the US today is almost impossible. Many people cite the US as having a large percentage of foreign-born citizens but most of these are family based. Otherwise, the most likely way for someone to move to the US would be through employment, not family, since not everyone has family in the US. Just 12% of immigrants to the US are on employment visas, and another 4% are diversity visa (a literal lottery that has a 1% win chance - even the employment visa is a lottery system so that isn't guaranteed either, mind you) winners. So, beyond those two, immigration hopefuls need to either have family in the US, be an asylum seeker, be a victim of a crime under very specific circumstances, or be granted a special visa (think translators and such in Afghanistan, etc. These are 1% of immigrants). Since some people I've spoken to have gotten upset when I mentioned this, I should clarify that I'm not criticizing America's immigration policy - although many people already have, it's not my place to judge it, since it could be bad for everyone else but good for Americans, which one can argue is what matters, but I'm pointing out the faultiness in the premise of America being easy to immigrate to.

Nothing’s free. Yes, you can make more in the U.S. at the potential expense of having to pay more for a house in a better school district for your kids or having to put them in private school, the risk of losing your high-paying job in a moment’s notice while losing your healthcare at the same time, the highest risk of being a victim of crime and, once you’re a U.S. citizen, having the U.S. tax you wherever in the world you end up living in. Always account for all the costs when counting that sweet-looking higher take-home pay.
That, and Italy is also having one of the worst cases of brain drain in the world. All their talent and youth gets outsourced and they're left with an aging population - which is eating up all their money.
You can see this as America stealing talent, or smart people doing what's best for them on all sides. One point of view makes you bitter, the other makes you do what's best for you. 🇺🇸
America doesn't steal anything and anyone. As a person from Eastern Europe (ex-USSR) - its just much much much people -friencly for talented an educated people. Its not only about money, there are many factors in play.
Correction: Niels Bohr was not Jewish, but atheist, he never fled to the US, but he helped many do it, and he was also Danish, not German. So he should not be mentioned as a Jew fleeing to the US, although he was a great scientist :).

We should invest in more scholarships for US students at European universities in STEM related degree's on the condition they stay for 5yrs post graduation.

US is great, for the wealthy. Europe is great for the middle class and poor. The sad thing is that Europe is bad at attracting the capital class. This is why I think immigration is bad, those who are smart and educated leave to better places. Those who can't stay and have to deal with bad local environments. This can perpetuate attrocities, corruption, and etc as the people who know or can fix it leave.
The US is also better for the middle class, Europe is really just better for the poor. The poorest 20% of Americans make more than the average European.
I'm not sure if Europe is even that great for the middle You earn a little bit more the taxman comes knocking That said at least you won't go broke trying to see the doctor In America you have the hope of moving even further up if you don't go bust by your medical bill so take your pick

I live and work in the US coming from Southeast Asia (Malaysia). I came to the US because all the books I read when I was 15, 16, about entrepreneurship, neuroscience, were all written by Americans. Europeans didn't seem to have an influence, except for the greats like Jung or Freud from 200 years ago. Everything was coming out of the US. The innovation, the talent, the ambition, the cutting edge. I didn't even know the US paid more when I came here. I just knew that as someone who didn't want to follow the traditional path of medicine, law, or engineering, the US would allow someone like me who was extremely driven and wanted to create impact in the world, that the US was the place to be.

India is a prime example of tht..most here would happily stay back if they can get decent salaries but most dont and hence go to US to study in hopes of earning more
Besides the moral arguments for it, the video serves the practical reason for more equal rights. It means you can draw from a larger pool of skilled immigrants since they won’t feel like they’ll be shot/mutilated for existing and being successful.
I've always felt that America has also had a unique cultural advantage over other countries as well. Due to the U.S. being a melting pot it's relatively easy to come to the U.S. and BECOME an American since we are a nation founded on ideals not a common ancestry/ethnicity. I feel like if you were a Nigerian or an Indian guy or gal you would just feel a lot more comfortable and fit in much easier in America than say Germany, Sweden, or especially China.
I don't quite understand what you're saying, though? In the US people get shot/maimed (by the police as well as other citizens), yes. But that obviously doesn't deter immigrants, so it can't be a deciding factor... (Although, that and the general level of racism and social anxiety would be _my_ main reason for not going to the US, no matter how shizzy Europe and Asia are.)
@@simonspethmann8086 You are completely wrong. The U.S. is very open about racial issues, but things are actually much better here than in Europe. Europe only looks better because they don't talk about their problems. Immigrants from most African countries out earn whites in the U.S. you couldn't dream of that in Europe.

Some parts of romania aren't doing that badly. Bucharest for example will be comparable to many cities in germany by 2026 or 2028. And many people in romania wouldn't immigrate to the usa.

EU as a political union loses A LOT but not being a proper federation. No single (official) language, no single set of laws (at least major ones), and so on. Sure, single market technically exists and works in EU, but really only for crude goods, commodities etc. Resources, food, derivative products. But as soon as product is complex - like a web service, or a car, or a phone etc. instantly company has to deal with 27 sets of laws and almost the same number of mandatory languages. It can't compete like that with a truly single market of 300mil people speaking officially a single language. PS: I live in EU, and can rationally see how USA is far ahead in a lot of areas.

Yes but there is no way that you will convince people to give up their cultures and languages just for the economy. Not even considering that issues like spending and value of taxes, racism, gay rights and other views are very different across the board.

My Bavarian PhD professor said six years ago :There are so few graduates in physics and chemistry in the US because the courses are prohibitively expensise and people can make fortunes in parasitic jobs in finance and Wall Street. We, the German tax payers, give an excellent education for free to too many scientists, which end up in the US lacking them
I’m sure your Bavarian professor has the sense to know that if the kid is already paying for college anyway (STEM students tend to get scholarships btw), then they’re not going to *not* study the thing they went to college for. This is especially true for “nerds” who have always known that they wanted to study physics or chemistry.
Most students don’t study physics or chemistry for the same reason that most are not math majors: those are not easy courses of study, and the vast majority know that it is not for them from before they even leave high school. More find out later on in college that it’s not for them, so they switch majors. Also, people getting physics or chemistry degrees in undergrad are expected to continue on for their PhDs if they hope to find meaningful work in their fields. Again, few are interested in this to begin with.
Additionally, a lot of the most lucrative “parasitic” careers on Wall Street are the very ones where people are specifically recruited from universities for their exceptional mathematical talent. If a student performs well in a premier mathematical competition like the Putnam or gains some other kind of recognition, or a referral, or a recommendation from a respected math or physics professor, then they’ll likely be on the radars of math departments across the country in case they apply to join a PhD program, but they’ll also likely be recruited by industry groups with very deep pockets - especially those on Wall Street. Your professor has clearly never heard of a hedge fund or the kind of money they throw at the very brightest math and physics students straight out of undergrad. This is actually something that always has some decently strong, though not unusually talented, students at top universities seriously considering math and physics degrees, though most ultimately stay away due to the difficulty. This has been going on for over 15 years, since every financial or career journal started regularly writing about the “quants” and other mathematical researchers who have taken over Wall Street.
So if someone had the interest and the ability to properly study physics and do well, then that might also be the thing that maximizes their earning potential. People this bright also, generally don’t pay anything for college because, again, scholarships tend to be especially generous for this cohort.

Immigrants truly are what gives the US a competitive advantage. However, most of these immigrants do not come to the US as highly skilled to begin with. The US provides the education with world class colleges and universities, requiring a substantial investment that pays off.
They're more likely to take children and younger people and they have to be very hard working that way social security wont run out as quickly, and they're guaranteed hard workers
I have mixed feelings when it comes to "world class colleges". Alot of colleges and Universities in other countries are very much better that those in the US nowadays. What I saw lately shocked me. My old alma mater can easily compete with Stanford. The statement "Your University degree does not count in the USA because of quality reasons" is just a trick to keep competition at bay. So not really. But you definitely have world class prices when it comes to education. Why is it that alot of US and Chinese students come to Germany? Because of the unjustified high prices, 'cause they know the truth.
@@stzi7691 "cause they know the truth" Yeah continue that delulu
Having studied in the anglo-sphere, I can tell you that your education is not better than that of continental Europe. Also, your universities are increasingly being ruled by progressive radicals, which means that freedom of speech is not assured there anymore.
Studied at public universities in both US and Germany, the quality of education & university experience is vastly different and justifies the high sticker price of international tuition in the US. The way US-universities vet and select prospective students is also what partly makes up the reputation of certain universities.

I have EU citizenship but only work for US Fortune500 companies with offices in Europe. I used to work for a European company for 1 year - never again. My past and current US employers (FAANG, other big tech) are much more generous and offer better resources, benefits, and perks + you get to work with top talent every day. In addition, I was able to attend grad school in the U.S. which was fully funded by my US alma mater. So the U.S. paid for my education in a way and I am happy to provide my skills and help to advance my current employer’s business activities in Europe.
In Amerika truck divers earn more on average than mechenical engineers with an masters degree and 15 years of experience in germany. its a joke
Subjective US experience by yearly income:
$100K+ best place in the world.
$10-100K really depends.
Glad someone is paying attention. No one on here are being objective as there is no doubt that if you’re making a good to great salary in the US then of course you’re happy. The fact remains that of all the Industrialized nations the U.S. is the most unequal and therefore you have higher rates of crime, homelessness, drug abused and racism as well. I lived in California for 43 years and I am now retired. I served a three (3) year apprenticeship as a commercial painter in the Union and then performed for 24 years in the Industry with union wages and benefits. In my late 40’s I took labor studies courses in my local community college at night while I worked during the day to help raise 4 children with my wife. I then got hired by the union as an organizer and then as a labor Representative and my salary almost doubled but I was lucky because of workers sacrifice and struggles before me, specially during the depression years of the 30’s. My point is that unions are almost nonexistent in the U.S. and most workers earn a little more than the minimum wage thereby becoming homeless as they cannot afford to pay rent in most urban areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco , San Jose and San Diego as well as many other cities in California. Higher Education is very expensive in the U.S. so many students are in debt before they even graduate and get a job. In Denmark 🇩🇰 a fast food worker at McDonalds makes around $23 per hour and his taxes help pay for his or hers healthcare plus he gets a pension. In the USA you make minimum wage( $7.69 per hour and no benefits). So if you are selfish and don’t care that others have a hard time surviving then the U.S. is the place for you but there is a price to pay with skyrocketing crime, mass shootings (even in schools) crumbling infrastructure and lack of healthcare for the majority of working class families. The Nordic countries have a better model one in which there is access to healthcare, education and decent paying jobs and they don’t have to worry about mass shooters, burglars and every other evil a selfish society manufactures daily. My uncle moved to Germany 🇩🇪 from New York in 1976 and he has a Master Degree from NYU but he chose to stay there and raised a family and is now a retired German Citizen (he speaks four languages and was an Opera singer). Several years ago he had open heart surgery and his taxes paid for it with no out of pocket expenses. In the U.S. a surgery like that can bankrupt you depending on your salary or healthcare costs. Balance is a good thing for a healthy society 😉

The USA is so OP as a country it's like they're playing on tutorial mode while using cheats.
If Mexico hadn't been so focused on fucking itself up over the last 500 years, North America would be a scene of eternal rivalry, not unlike that in Europe between France and the UK.
I've just left the UK to work in the US space industry as the take home salary was triple...
and if you invest smart your money it will grow, grow and grow in the USA .
What many people don't realize however is that legal immigration to the US today is almost impossible. Many people cite the US as having a large percentage of foreign-born citizens but most of these are family based. Otherwise, the most likely way for someone to move to the US would be through employment, not family, since not everyone has family in the US. Just 12% of immigrants to the US are on employment visas, and another 4% are diversity visa (a literal lottery that has a 1% win chance - even the employment visa is a lottery system so that isn't guaranteed either, mind you) winners.
So, beyond those two, immigration hopefuls need to either have family in the US, be an asylum seeker, be a victim of a crime under very specific circumstances, or be granted a special visa (think translators and such in Afghanistan, etc. These are 1% of immigrants).
Since some people I've spoken to have gotten upset when I mentioned this, I should clarify that I'm not criticizing America's immigration policy - although many people already have, it's not my place to judge it, since it could be bad for everyone else but good for Americans, which one can argue is what matters, but I'm pointing out the faultiness in the premise of America being easy to immigrate to.
America isn't easy to immigrate to because *everyone* wants to emigrate to America. She's the hot girl. She can afford to be very picky.
Compared to most countries around the world, it is easier to immigrate to.

Nothing’s free. Yes, you can make more in the U.S. at the potential expense of having to pay more for a house in a better school district for your kids or having to put them in private school, the risk of losing your high-paying job in a moment’s notice while losing your healthcare at the same time, the highest risk of being a victim of crime and, once you’re a U.S. citizen, having the U.S. tax you wherever in the world you end up living in.

No country is more affected than India. American companies offer outlandish salaries to IIT Engineers and off they go to USA.

That, and Italy is also having one of the worst cases of brain drain in the world. All their talent and youth gets outsourced and they're left with an aging population - which is eating up all their money.

Correction: Niels Bohr was not Jewish, but atheist, he never fled to the US, but he helped many do it, and he was also Danish, not German. So he should not be mentioned as a Jew fleeing to the US, although he was a great scientist :).

US is great, for the wealthy. Europe is great for the middle class and poor. The sad thing is that Europe is bad at attracting the capital class. This is why I think immigration is bad, those who are smart and educated leave to better places. Those who can't stay and have to deal with bad local environments. This can perpetuate attrocities, corruption, and etc as the people who know or can fix it leave.
The US is also better for the middle class, Europe is really just better for the poor. The poorest 20% of Americans make more than the average European.

I live and work in the US coming from Southeast Asia (Malaysia). I came to the US because all the books I read when I was 15, 16, about entrepreneurship, neuroscience, were all written by Americans. Europeans didn't seem to have an influence, except for the greats like Jung or Freud from 200 years ago. Everything was coming out of the US. The innovation, the talent, the ambition, the cutting edge. I didn't even know the US paid more when I came here. I just knew that as someone who didn't want to follow the traditional path of medicine, law, or engineering, the US would allow someone like me who was extremely driven and wanted to create impact in the world, that the US was the place to be.
I just saw an ad from the US calling for nurses to immigrate to the United States. Kind of sucks how one country can basically import all the skilled migrants it wants. But that's what it means to live in a free world.

Besides the moral arguments for it, the video serves the practical reason for more equal rights. It means you can draw from a larger pool of skilled immigrants since they won’t feel like they’ll be shot/mutilated for existing and being successful.
I've always felt that America has also had a unique cultural advantage over other countries as well. Due to the U.S. being a melting pot it's relatively easy to come to the U.S. and BECOME an American since we are a nation founded on ideals not a common ancestry/ethnicity. I feel like if you were a Nigerian or an Indian guy or gal you would just feel a lot more comfortable and fit in much easier in America than say Germany, Sweden, or especially China.
I don't quite understand what you're saying, though? In the US people get shot/maimed (by the police as well as other citizens), yes. But that obviously doesn't deter immigrants, so it can't be a deciding factor...
(Although, that and the general level of racism and social anxiety would be _my_ main reason for not going to the US, no matter how shizzy Europe and Asia are.)
