    Americans have probably the easiest migration path in the world. Strong passport, very high wages and currency value, strong migration support and programs, remote friendly economy etc etc.

      No, we can’t just move some place. Most countries require a substantial income or huge investment. Incomes require jobs, and countries require employers to make an attempt to hire citizens first. Most of us speak one language too, so even if we go to the shittiest countries, we’ll be vulnerable to scams.

        Nope. I’m literally a digital nomad myself though mostly settled in Thailand these syas. Americans absolutely have an unmatched privileged here very few countries come even close to matching and can relocate relatively easily.

          While there are definitely perks to being an American trying to relocate, it’s also definitely not easy. If you think it is, you are operating under a survivorship bias. Your situation will vary greatly from another’s.

            Not easy it what sense? In absolute sense it’s not easy for everyone - duuuh. But in relative sense Americans have an incredible privilege here and yall still whine.

              No one is whining about having a strong passport though. You’re giving a false equivalence. In most cases it’s about not having the funds, skill set, or resources to leave.

                But that’s literary the title of the post so it’s more of you moving the goal post. Sure not everyone can afford to move etc. etc. but americans are having an incredible privilege here compared to the rest of the world.
