It's not the worst but far from the best and dropping fast, very fast. When the shit really hits the fan, it will be too late to realize the reality. Step out of your bubble sometime, the real USA is nothing like the corny yuppie world you live in. Very funny to hear your comments on Baltimore, it's amazing how you can live there and be completely clueless about what most of the city is like.
Settle down Anaconda. Computer building business must be hurting to warrant so much hostility and name calling. Has anyone considered the fact that millions of jobs will automatically be created when baby boomers retire/die? I have not heard much discussion on this topic. Someone earlier mentioned that the USA will never be able to recover from the job losses of the recent year or so. But won't millions of jobs be created as baby boomers retire/die? Comments?
I wouldnt know how mentioning the decaying state of US infrastructure falls under the category of tinfoil hat nore would the mentioning of a US underperformance in area's such as education, health care or car making p ) as those shortcomings are well acknowledged by most people most of the time. I have been to the States several times by the way yet most of the times I visited NY which isnt considered as part of the US I believe by most people most of the time. Has been a while though cause I didnt particullary liked the frisking of my inner rectum that much last time but hey perhaps next time when I ditch the 3 ft beard they'd be nicer? Anyway, it's very hard to agree on a 'best place to live' when simple changes in your life such as changing jobs or having a child influences your needs substantialy let alone financial status, state of health or a variety on other criteria which all in their own can change perception of your current or future place of residence overnight. I don't consider the US to be a third world nation, just to make that clear, although I do consider the country to find itself on a slippery slope since some time. Is that because the country has set it's own standards to high or perhaps because I have been brainwashed by the dollar bears I don't know I will think about it.
Yes quite right. US is experiencing a recovery in the derivatives economy, to which the world is invited. The real US economy upon which the derivative economy was created is now out of step....permanently ... as the global market continues to outperform the US economy. It is up to US to carve out a place in the new world I am sure that it will jjf
I have yet to see you make one single post that constitutes a logical argument to any point you make. Instead, out come the name calling and insults. Welfare? You know nothing about me. I will now let you continue to embarrass yourself with flames.
Ivanovich voted with his feet. Unless you are not in US, I failed to see why I won't believe Ivanovich. If you never live outside of US before, you simply don't know how good you had it. Unless I see low income US citizen going outside of US for work, US has one of the best living standard.
Low income US citizens will not gain access to many countries in the world offering a comparable/better standard of living. jjf
