What would you recommend me if I want to live in the USA?

[Smartman5]

Definitely come here it's so beautiful (why?)

Don't come here, it's not as beautiful as it seems (why?)

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Totally depends what are you into. If you like beautiful nature a lot and being outdoors then states like Oregon, Washington and California will be ideal.

If you like the cold then places like Illinois, Michigan and Ohio will better suit you.

If like the night life and beaches then places like New York City, L. A. and Miami will suit you best.

If you like the farmland then places Iowa, Nebraska and Montana will be better for you.

[Smartman5]

very good answer. Can you talk about the US economy now? How is the health and education system?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Healthcare quality is the best in the world but good quality care is unaffordable for the average American.

You need to make good money to be able to afford good healthcare.

Education is very good too but it's ultra expensive too.

[Smartman5]

I understood. Thanks

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Welcome.

[abc3643]

My answer depends on where you are from now.

Your profile says that you are from the United States, so are you a liar on your profile or this is a trolling question?

So, if you aren't from the USA, please update the question AND your profile with where you are currently live.

[Anonymous]

If u are a foreigner who has come over illegally, U will get privileges over those in the USA. Other than that, try and look up a state that is cheaper to live. There are jobs to be had if u want to really work. But prices of food, gas and housing and all have gone up. Inflation, recession with Biden in office.

[Sour-rose]

Don't. Every month, the USA finds something to argue over and start a fire in the world

[Smartman5]

I know this is very true, but I wonder what kind of country is the USA? so what is it like to live there?

[Sour-rose]

One that believes it's free and does what It wants and claims its da best in the world. :)

Yup. Absolute best... the best. :')

[MCheetah]

Just avoid the West Coast and New York City (and any other Liberal/"blue" part of the country) and you're good!

[Smartman5]

Why?

[MCheetah]

Because the worst stereotypes about America come from there. Mainly, California. In a country with 350 million people, not every part is going to be great. But the non-blue parts of the US tend to be more accepting and less judgmental.

[Smartman5]

I understood. Thanks

[MCheetah]

Just remember, GAG is not indicative of real life and most real people aren't as nuts as the users of this site.

[Smartman5]

Okay

[MrTaboo]

Its great if you stay away from large cities run by Democrates. That's where 90% of our crime and problems come from.

[Smartman5]

How do republicans rule?

[Adam1978]

I would recommend that you rethink that, US is among the worst western countries to move to unless you are rich.

[Smartman5]

In other words, can only the rich live in prosperity in the USA? Do the poor have no chance?

[Adam1978]

No really, if you actually take a leap to another country, not checking your chances for a good life is a mistake. You will have a better life in basically any other western country if you aren't rich. Doesn't mean it's impossible in US, it just unecissary hard. If you live for challenges there is other opportunities for that.

[Smartman5]

I understood true

[Smartman5]

If you're Swedish, tell me. Why does Sweden support the PKK/YPG terrorist organization?

[Adam1978]

We don't. You shouldn't listen to turkey propaganda.

[Smartman5]

We see on the news that the PKK is burning the streets of Sweden. no Swedish official does anything. Why? It was also revealed that Swedish-made weapons were given to the PKK. Issued by Sweden

[Adam1978]

I haven't heard or seen anything of that. We simply don't give weapons away in Sweden. Since we only have our weapon production to be self-reliance in case of conflict. And those things are expensive so we need to sell and cooperate with some other countries to make them affordable. Ukraine is an exception. Unlike US who seems to sell to any who can afford it. There is some naive politicians in sweden so if any mistakes has been made its because of their incompetence.

[Smartman5]

I don't know what the Swedish people think, but Swedish politicians are really incapable of governing. It is not difficult to understand that the PKK is a threat to the world.

[Adam1978]

Hardly and they probably just pity the suppressed minority. Not considering that some people within has no good intention. But the same can be said by basically all groups of people. Turkey hasn't been a nice ruler, so they have earned their opponents. It's simply not something Sweden should be involved in in my opinion. I really dislike the way we help other countries, we should be sending the help expeditions and engineers. Not send money that just go to corrupt leaders.

[Smartman5]

which do you disagree with what Turkey is doing?

[Adam1978]

They are outside their borders fighting in Syria. They are still friendly with Russia a warmonger, They are completely ruining their economy so their people will suffer just because the leader doesn't like interest. They are supressing their kurd population.

[Smartman5]

These are all lies. There are operations against terrorist organizations in Syria, there is no war. war happens between two or more countries, whereas the PKK is not a country, it is just a terrorist organization. This terrorist organization is a huge security problem for Turkey. What should we do instead of operating on them? In addition, the PKK does a lot of harm to the civilian population in Syria where it is present. killing, torturing, leaving the homeless hungry and thirsty. You're also completely wrong about the interest rate. Increasing interest rates will not improve the economy. on the contrary, it gets worse. Interest rates in the USA and European Union countries were at the lowest level for many years, so their economies were always strong. Now, the US Federal Reserve and the European Union Central Bank are raising interest rates. If raising interest rates was a good thing, they would have done it years ago. Interest is an obstacle to trade, production and investment. As Turkey realized this, it preferred to lower the interest rate instead of increasing it. Of course, there will be some problems in such cases, but the success will be felt forever. Kurds in Turkey have not been oppressed in any way in the last 20 years. But 20 years ago and before, the Kurds suffered a lot. In the past, there was a lot of racism against the Kurds. now there is none. The Kurds were not allowed to enjoy any of their rights, but now they enjoy all the rights.

[Adam1978]

The reason we have problems now is because the lowered the interest rates into the negatives and created a massive debt by printing money. Economies takes long time to change, when you start to get all the inflation because of all the free money, you either have to live with the fact that money becomes worthless really fast, or you have increase interest so and suffer through the problem you caused in the first place. If you had stayed on a good level all the time, you could have dealt with each issue individually with less problems than by kicking the can along the road.

[Smartman5]

It has not been long since the transition to the new economic system. It is not possible to get immediate results. Turkey may have done wrong things about the economy before, but now these parties have been abandoned. In time, you will see that Turkey is on the right track.

[Adam1978]

Really how many years of doubling of prices would you need? When the population doesn't even want to use their own currency you have already failed. There is already at least five countries that tried your path and all have failed. What makes you think you will have another result?

[Smartman5]

because the interest rate was increased before, but it got worse. Now, on the contrary, the method of lowering the interest rate is applied. In addition, although European countries and the USA raise interest rates, inflation does not decrease. I know inflation is very high in Turkey, but you will see, we will overcome it. Inflation is not something without a solution. I don't understand why you consider the interest so necessary. How come you are defending interest while people are constantly borrowing because of interest? Or are you a banker lol?

[Adam1978]

It does decrease but most importantly it decrease the price of housing which has become insane. But no where in Europe do we have your inflation. And most of it has to do with oil and energy prices. Caused by EU market, because sweden isn't dependent on Russia gas or Ukraine food, we got enough internal production of them. But we still have to sell them expensive internally which cause double greed effects. So instead of us having smooth sailing and the rest of the countries that has become dependent suffers, we have to share their fate, with high costs,

[Smartman5]

Don't worry, inflation will go down too.

[Adam1978]

I am not worried, I will be standing much longer than most. If I lived in turkey I would be seriously worried if I had anything tied to that currency.

[Smartman5]

You will see that Turkey's economy will be incredibly strong. Turkey will be strong in all aspects, not just the economy. wait and see

[Adam1978]

I don't think any economy wil be strong the next couple of years. Due to regression and the toll of people fleeing the war. You guys will have plenty of Russian to handle.

[Avicenna]

It really depends on what skills you bring and where you live, TBH, but you can have a good life in the US.

[jshm2]

Get your head examined as why would you want to downgrade to such a shithole country?

[Smartman5]

Is it really such a bad place?

[Avicenna]

Leftist Europeans have a irrational and pathological hatred of the US

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Other places have beauty as well, and the Yankee government is messed-up.

[pepper1993]

Nah Mexico is where its at. Move there instead 🙄

[TheMoralCrusader]

Mexico got Lucha Libre, tacos, coke with real sugar and it is very cheap to lives so it seems pretty great but when stuff goes down and someday it will the USA is the safest place because the government is never gonna control the guns the people always will. At least for a long time.

[OddBeMe]

I mean beautiful is subjective. So i dont know what you want. But I’d just read some basic facts and weather patterns and make a decision.

[Smartman5]

then tell me about the basic facts of the USA

[OddBeMe]

Do I look a fcking tour guide? You want tour all of America it’ll cost you my friend.

[Anonymous]

Don't come here we don't want anymore immigrants they're taking our jobs. Live in your own country but you if you really love US then you can come as a tourist.

[Smartman5]

I give up. I will not come to the USA. but tell me what kind of country the USA is. Is it worth living there?

[Opinion Owner]

First I'd like to know where are you from currently?

[Smartman5]

I'm from the Middle East.

[Opinion Owner]

Considering you're case yes!

[Smartman5]

I am from Turkey

[goaded]

Be rich.

[Smartman5]

I know it's hard to live in the USA if I'm not rich

[Avicenna]

It's hard to be poor there (but isn't that true in most places?), but you don't have to be rich.
Don't rely on the opinion of a leftist European who doesn't know the US.

[goaded]

@Avicenna How many medical bankruptcies are there a year in the US?

[Avicenna]

Yeah, like the Kasse pays for everything in Germany. And the age discrimination in the labor market. Oh, wait, househusbands don't worry about that...
I could go on. How are your electric bills these days?

[goaded]

@Avicenna "Co-pays" in Germany off the top of my head: a night in hospital: €10, Ambulance to hospital: €15. Insulin: €11. Operation in private clinic with 3 nights stay: €35 (including €5 for a pair of crutches).

The German system is very similar to the US, just regulated enough that it works and no-one goes bankrupt. (Oh, and my premiums that cover myself and two grown children are about half that of the cheapest Bronze insurance in Arizona, about €150 a month.)

[Avicenna]

I'm well aware of that. But as usual, you're cherry picking and presenting a distorted view.

[goaded]

@Avicenna Where's the distortion, exactly?

[Avicenna]

You know I wasn’t talking about co-pays- I was talking about things that aren’t covered at all. And explain to everyone why your premium is what it is. And the Basistarif for people who can’t get into public insurance.

But these are the typical games you play. This time it’s pretending no one can afire healthcare in US while ignoring the ugly side of the German system (admittedly health care is one of the best parts).

But public insurance in Germany for people with families with one wage earner is a very good deal.

The worst part about being poor in the US is the high crime levels you live around and the spillover effects of that.

[goaded]

@Avicenna It's the co-pays that bankrupt people, everyone's fine until they get sick or have an accident. And what do you think isn't covered by my state minimum level (Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) insurance? OK, some dental (check-ups and cheap fillings are still included) and eye care (again, check-ups, at least, are included).

I'm not "pretending no one can afire healthcare in US", that would be ridiculous. I'm saying a lot of people can't, and simply don't have any health insurance.

"The worst part about being poor in the US is the high crime levels you live around and the spillover effects of that."
Well, that's the case in Germany, too. But at least the crime almost never involves guns and you can afford to go to a doctor!

[LilyByte]

depends on were in the US lol

[Smartman5]

yes, but what can you say about the USA in general?

[LilyByte]

its alright lol
