Salah said her rheumatologist was ecstatic when he found out she was leaving the country. “He was anticipating that a lot of my stress would go away when I move abroad, and therefore my lupus would get better,” she said. “And also the quality of food. So he was very, very excited for me.”
my sister now lives in north america, she came back in france 2 weeks ago and the first thing she did was go buy fresh food, she told me food in NA is "diseased" and "miserable".
She's absolutely not wrong. The food here is grown for weight (that means it's all water, and no flavor) and transportation (that means it will taste horrible, and will be available in the store for purchase well before it is ripe).
The rules for pesticide use is also far more lax here than Europe. And food is often sweetened with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and is filled with preservatives to increase shelf life (again, a matter of profitability).
Would you like to hear about what happened to the "famous" Florida grown oranges?
Salah said she’s confident in her decision to leave the U.S., despite some of the trade-offs that come with exiting a democracy and living under Qatar’s emir, or ruler.
One of the reasons I hate living in this country is just the pure ideology like this that you get blasted with every single day. It sucks because I live a comfortable life (my parents are landleaches) in a suburb where my uni is a 15 minute drive away but I just can't stand living in a country like this. I can't just block out everything.
“There’s no one on this planet who could be that bad of a person that we need to assassinate just to keep them out of the presidency,” Christian said. “How radical the American culture and society is getting in its entirety is making me go, ‘I really need to get out of here.’”
Ewww. Even when they know that there's something wrong with the system they have nothing to say other than "wow how radical." Probably just MSM whitewashing though so I'm going to say anything else.
“I think American politics is a joke,” Salah said. “I think we’re seeing that no matter which party is in power, no matter which face it is, it’s kind of the same system.
Oh no the Americans are learning what every Global South country with an enforced capitalist system already knew.
I know if I was the child of an immigrant, I would just try to make a bunch of money and move to the country my parents came from where my quality of life would be so much higher with all those US dollars.
the US is going to empty out in the next 30 years. the middle class is going to flee to cheaper countries. taking a cue from immigrants who send all their money home from the US and then go back home and have a nice life set up.

I gf and are also thinking about moving tbh but I am hoping to finish my degree before the US goes tits up. I am thinking china but my mandarin was better when I was 6 lmao
Nothing exciting, administrative at Shanghai Media group. Almost every expat there started as an English teacher, model, or student/intern somewhere and just used their free time to job hunt. since moving back to America, I’ve never seen a realistic job to apply for that was based in China , especially without mastery of a second language.
