Singapore is a good place to live if you have high disposable income and I mean rich rich, not your average rich American. If not you are stuck in a highly competitive environment plus in high humidity and heat (for you runners), while going back home to your shoebox apartment in public transport (because you can buy a decent house back in US with the prices of a basic toyota in Singapore)
Iran. Or Saudi Arabia. They actually have proper rights for woman and you can treat your wife with proper respect. If she disgraces your honor you can proper set he right so her bad essence is cleaned. Unlike here
All this 'wages are stagnant' talk is BS, politicians riling up people with lies. You oughta spend some time googleing 'myth of stagnant wages' and 'myth of inequality'
Which of your links said "a red state, dropped out of HS, never went to college, work sporadically and use drugs, your income has suffered from the loss of factory jobs"?
Do you even read any of these links, beyond the headlines?
The links you showed me showed median income going up a little over decades. The 1986 peak under Reagan was equaled in 2006, 2008, 2013, and 2014, nearly 30 years later -- for the median income.
Your WSJ article that says: "The years from the early 1980s through much of the 2000s were characterized by widening wage inequality." Did that come in your search for "myth of inequality"?
It says something changed around 2015 "a change that economists believe was driven, in part, by a sharp drop in the unemployment rate".
These large jumps around 2020 and 2021 were unique to the pandemic, as companies who had laid off workers during shutdowns were desparate to rehire. It was a temporary glitch that is now self-correcting.
Your WSJ article adds "Not all low-wage workers benefited. Wage growth among older people, who were less likely to switch jobs, wasn’t as strong. Inflation, of course, took a bite."
Which brings up inflation -- despite the numbers, voters didn't feel better off with the higher wages because it wasn't going any further for them. The WSJ chart doesn't look like it is adjusted for the inflation everyone was complaining about.
It's also hard to see in any of your charts of wages of income earners, if or how the unemployed are represented -- both those looking for work, and those who gave up.
But what there is no denying is the amount of wealth accumulated by the top 1% compared to the bottom 90%, since Reagan.
I loved the German-influenced part of Switzerland and hated the French-influenced region. Worst Swiss city I visited was Lausanne. Honestly, it reminded me of some parts of the US with homeless, beggars, graffitti, trash everywhere. Not a fan.
I can't really compare. I skied in Zermat for a week in a village with no cars, which was amazing. The two days I spent in Lausanne, I didn't see much of that except by the train station. We walked down to the lake and the view was amazing.

ok if you wish to go with what people 'feel' about their finances and not actual data, then we can't really have a discussion. Yes, people 'feel' bad. People ALWAYS 'feel' bad about their lives. It's how we are. We always think the country is on the wrong path and we always feel our kids won't have the same fortunes we have. But then....they do.
Picking a peak and then using that as a baseline is unfair and a chart crime.
I'll say again - incomes of all levels have gone up rather smartly. There is no denying this. You seem to wish to deny 2015-2025 happened, for some reason. Weird.
Please don't come to another country and try to change it. Remember that you will now be a guest in another country and you should learn their language and respect/adapt to their customs. It should never be the other way around.
Crazy leftists aren’t happy unless confused 8 year olds are being sexually mutilated, opinions they don’t agree with are being suppressed, and the slaughter of preborn babies is being celebrated.
This is a fantasy thread. None of you are leaving the US for another country. You are happy enough with the vile sh*thole that the US is becoming under the fascist Trump regime. So you won't discover how the world really feels about you. There was a novel published in the 1960's called "The Ugly American", which describes how the US interacted with other countries and how it was perceived by them. Trump's America is making sure it's all coming true.
I lived elsewhere and when I returned, kissed the ground when I got back.
If you leave America after talking trash about it and decide to make a public show by leaving, leave and don’t come back.
Dont vote in my country’s elections anymore ( it is no longer your country) and most of all, don’t be a hypocrite by receiving your living expenses from work you do remotely or otherwise from my country.
If you backstab your former country at least have the decency to be true to your warped view and make your living from the “ better “ country you moved to.
That goes especially for the tatooed, lefty college professor in my family who turned tail and ran away trash talking the whole time.

Can't top your version of crazy.
Yes you can. Posting 4000 times a year, repeating the same crap day in and day out like you do, certainly takes the prize. You are demented.
