Too many evangelical cult members, no es bueno.

This, IMO, is the root cause of why this country sucks. Why women are loosing rights to control their own body, why everyone (except the very rich) is in danger of becoming homeless due to a major health problem. It is the root cause of the racism, bigotry, and just blind hatred that plagues this shithole of a country every fucking day.

True, religion sucks.

It’s not a slightly lower income. Household income in the US is roughly 40% higher than in the UK. I agree that people can and do value different things, sure.

I find that the US is a bad place to be poor in but for the middle class it’s quite good.

That middle class has been disappearing for decades.

Can't do remote from there?

In reality, good luck finding a job that will allow you to live and work from Grand Cayman that is high paying and not some job from some hack shop in India paying peanuts.

And if you think USA is expensive, you ain't seen nothing lol.
