Um, it's the same! You won't escape it if you come to stay. Just 
because the shit hasn't hit the fan yet does not mean it's not 
coming down the pipe. There are many here that seem to believe 
that ignorance is bliss, that is true, for a while.

If you looking in the the US news you will see that there is a 
major killing happening just about once a week. The politicians 
are all crooks, provably, and the CEO's of many of the largest 
companies are in cahoots with them. No different than where you 
are from. The laws here are so screwed up that law abiding 
citizens are routinely killed by cops or cops killed by people 
and it all turns out to be a "mistake", or worse, someone's ego.

Again, it sounds like you are experiencing this in your own 
country now... so, if that is what you are trying to escape, you 
are just moving in to a bigger pond with the same type of scum. 
Again, it matters not that some people want to stick their head 
in the sand.

Our healthcare system is probably far more screwed up than your 
country. There are many Americans who are bankrupt over things 
like a broken arm, etc... 100k$ bill for 3 hours of work... and 
these insurance companies make billions in profits and it only 
goes up.


Wealthy and ignorant people(depending who's party is president), 
of course, love to believe that these are isolated problems and 
every country has them, etc.  Almost 30 years ago OJ Simpson was 
big news and cop murder(er)s were very rare. This is not to say 
there was no as much corruption, but the corruption is far 
different, much more dangerous because there are many people with 
big bucks who are extremely evil or ruthless(can, at the drop of 
a dime, create a whole can of worms that takes the country many 
years to try and fix).  So, what this proves is the world is 
becoming more dangerous and more insane. As time goes on the 
division lines are ingrained deeper(just as a persons face ages 
and it's a sign). Everyone knows this because the world is far 
more dangerous than it was. My point is, do you want to be at the 
center of the economic nuclear explosion?

The argument is "Oh, the US is great now, so easy to make money 
and every one is happy"! Which is only true for those that are 
making money and being happy. about 80% of the population is 
working their ass of for ever growing corporations. These large 
corporations suck the wealth out of these people's work. Proof? 
The CEO's tend to make at least 2 orders of magnitude more income 
per year per its workers. It's a simple ponzi scheme and that is 
the purpose of these businesses(if not when they are created, at 
some point down the line when the people who run it no longer 
care about the original purpose but simply are their to make 
money). Of course, it is great if you are these CEO's and those 
around them. But for the worker just trying to make a living, 
it's not. You would thing that equal work = equal pay... and 
CEO's obviously don't work 2 orders of magnitude hard than their 
workers, which, again, proves it is a pyramid scheme. A real 
corporation would give everyone who invests in the company 
equally an equal share. This would generally limit everyone's 
income to approximately the same amount for doing the same types 
of things. (So a security guard would not make the same as the 
CEO, but they would not be disproportionate). Of course, the 
CEO's and their minions lose in this scenario but everyone else 
wins.

In any case, you know that type of stuff but the point is that it 
is the same in the US but the US is the epicenter. Because the 
wheeling and dealing of money by people and companies that do 
nothing to help humanity progress not only grows but create a 
massive intractable problem. It's like a fat kid who can't stop 
eating... at some point the food runs out, and usually very 
quickly.

So, we know things are getting worse, we know that the US has the 
biggest economy that is both fragile and extremely invested in 
the money game where only the people in power benefit. This means 
that the people in power will not, under any circumstances change 
their ways to give up their power. We see this in their attitudes 
and how they behave. It is so rampant as to be quite astonishing 
that the largest and most powerful nation is being run by 
probably about 80% of it's leaders being that way. Of course, the 
bigger they are...

I think it is because these problems have crept up on this 
country, most blissfully ignorant. It's like how things are swept 
under a rug. Many of the problems of racism and poverty were 
ignored, which are now turning in to a cancer(there are constant 
race issues going on now and many of the blacks absolute hate 
anything not black)... these problems, there is no hope and will 
only get worse. These problems will grow like weeds until they 
engulf this country. It's probably many decades off but it will 
sink the ship alone if something else doesn't.


One could write many volumes of the problems in the US. Your 
country is small so it has smaller problems... the same but 
smaller. If you are trying to get away from them, the US is not 
the place unless you only plan to stay temporarily. Depending on 
your age, if you stay here and things don't work out for you as 
well as you hope, you might be in your older age when the US 
collapses, and that is a place you don't want to be. The 
experiences you will experience will probably be what you can 
imagine happening in WWII. If the economy collapses one can 
expect mass murder. Many of the impoverished areas will lash out 
at everything they hate(as now there is no order and no one to 
stop them). We see these people doing this already in small 
groups. While you may or may not escape such a thing I would not 
assume it. Whatever happens about the closest to what people can 
experience as hell on earth would happen, as far as the constant 
fear of having protect yourself, possibly killing for defense, 
trying to constantly find food, etc. Of course, it is all context 
depending, I'm giving a rather negative scenario. One could give 
better scenarios like "You might win the powerball and live 
happily ever after"... and it is possible too, but less probable.

This country is not getting better. IMO, it has a cancer and that 
cancer is not being taken series. No one on either side wants to 
work together to solve the problems... and hence the problems 
will get worse.

Now, if you don't believe me and want to take the head in the 
sand approach like a few have expressed, I offer you a simple 
experiment to prove truth: Simply start watching the US news. 
View the local news around places you might want to go(if it's a 
very rich area expect to see less negative news, if it's rather 
poor expect to see more negative news). Watch the national news. 
You can get on you tube and find a lot of individuals telling 
their own story and there are lots of video of the corruption 
from the government(which proves the common mentality and the 
implications there of).


Unfortunately, none of this is exaggeration. It proves the spiral 
is downward(negative) rather than upward. If anyone denies that 
then they are imbeciles, it is factual. An ideal and peaceful 
worlds does not have the types of things in it that a the worse 
ideal worlds do and it should not take a very intelligent person 
to know that what one sees in the American mentality and social 
relations(and humanity in general) are things that are not found 
an ideal and peaceful world. E.g., the constant hate for people 
of different backgrounds or skin color.


So, all one can argue is the magnitude of the problem. Is it 
insignificant like some say(or want to believe)? or is it 
significant like others say(or want to believe).

Only you can and should decide that. But you obviously are aware 
of it in your own country and then probably can see it in this 
country if you look. You should look before you come here, which 
is my point with all this. I do not know if there are better 
places to be of course, Maybe America is the best of the 
worst(which could also be the worse of the worst?)? Obviously 
there are other places in the world we know are bad and America 
is better(Sudan, Congo, etc).

Chances are, if you come to America and are a hard worker you can 
make a living and live comfortably enough. Being a foreigner your 
likelihood of negative experiences goes up(more likely to have 
issues either with the government or the people around you). You 
will have to deal with the constant insanity of Americans 
though(why do you think their country is so screwed up?). Of 
course, the insanity is no different than anyone else but it is 
different in how it comes out. People tend to be very shallow, 
very invested in stupid shit like sports, don't care about others 
unless they are friends or family, etc. Over half the country is 
very religious and believe in a some of the stupidest shit that 
distorts their understanding of reality and shapes the whole 
dynamic. A large part of the population are imbeciles. They don't 
know how to do anything about drink alcohol, fuck, and watch tv.

Again, this is not to say there are no goods. But you should no 
the cons if you are going to make such a big decision. You 
shouldn't want to meet a chick, fall in love, and then 10 years 
later she tells you she's HIV positive transvestite escort and 
her boyfriend is getting out of jail for triple murder tomorrow 
and if he finds out about you he's going to kill you, would you?

Do your homework and you see what you see. What I want you be 
able to do is make the right choice! Whatever it is, believe me, 
I hope I'm just a crazy person and America is nearly a person 
world and everyone is happy... But I'm also a realist and I don't 
fool myself in to believing what I want if the evidence suggests 
something different.

My prediction, if it matters, is that the US will continue with 
only getting mildly worse(assuming NK or Iran issues don't go 
nuclear) for about 5-10 years. In about 15-25 years the US will 
start having major issues(sort like precursors to the 
earthquake). Mainly it will effect the poor and lower middle 
class, but their problems are ultimately everyone's problems). 
Soon after (20-30) years the US will start to nose dive and will 
go in to massive organ failure. This is when the shit hits the 
fan and this is when the US will quickly become a 3rd world 
country. It will be hell for most for a short time and then just 
chaos, fear, uncertainty, etc for those that are left.

I'm almost certain that the US will not slowly recover and learn 
and pull out of it's tailspin(although it is fully capable of 
doing it, it would take leaders to do it and no one is doing it). 
The trend is that it is getting worse. We are doing all the wrong 
things. The rich and poor are becoming more polarized, the black 
vs white is becoming more polarized. The government and the 
people are becoming more polarized(the government is starting to 
become it's own entity independent of the people). There is some 
hope but very little. People are just too selfish and too stupid 
to care enough to sacrifice. People are not learning and not able 
to be self sufficient. Without the economy supplying all the 
necessities such as food, water, and shelter(prebuild for your 
convenience) these people cannot exist. Many do not even know how 
to cook without a microwave nor how to grow anything to eat. This 
type of behavior then makes them extremely dependent on the 
system and the system on them. Once one goes, the other goes. If 
you think of America(or humanity) like a program, it is a program 
that is buggy and the methodology of creating it creates more 
bugs, which creates more bugs. Instead of changing the method so 
that bugs are minimized, the same flawed method is used. This is 
the same in all countries and of all countries that have failed.

Anyways,

I have been told by several that Australia is a good place to go 
and I myself have thought about it. It seems that Australia is 
probably a rather insulated society in that the rest of the world 
could kill itself off and they'd be ok(probably a lot to do with 
it it being so physically isolated and somewhat small. Goods and 
people can't move as easily between it and the rest so mentally 
the people are more independent minded and closer knitted 
society). I've heard though that it is expensive to live there 
and one it is difficult to stay.
