How come all Americans haven't left America? Logically they should right?

[Winston]

I have an imponderable question. How come one third or one half of Americans haven't emigrated abroad? The thing is, nowadays u can find any info online. So any American can easily discover that the cost of living in other countries like SE Asia is much much lower than America. Logically the whole country should be trying to escape abroad. It's kind of like if one supermarket has groceries for 1/4 the price of another one, everyone would flock to the cheaper one. So why isn't it the case with America vs much cheaper countries too? You would think it should be. Or course CNN would never promote escaping America for a better life because then hard working Americans would wonder what they were doing in America. But they can find this out online too. So I don't get it.

Plus of course in other countries there are plenty of single, sweet, feminine and AVAILABLE girls with a good attitude, which u can never find in America. That should also make millions of men in the US run abroad. But it doesn't. Why? I mean why doesn't the entire country move abroad? Logically they should if they knew the truths that we know. Right? This is odd if u think about it. If other countries are so much better in many ways then u would think everyone in america would move abroad. Wouldn't u?! Any of u wonder about this too?

I ask this because my friend @kangarunner told me his apartment in Vietnam with a beachfront view in Da Nang cost him only $155 a month. If all Americans knew that wouldn't they all flock to Vietnam or somewhere similar? You would think they would. Especially since it's easy to date single women abroad and there is no loneliness or datelessness in SE Asia. How come CNN never puts guys like Andrew on TV and have him tell us how much better life is outside of America? Lol

Because the U.S government and all the fortune 500 companies doesn't want their slaves to escape. Without the slaves, America will implode.
So they use clever marketing to draw in all the slaves to America which is similar to a Venus fly trap.

Yes,for one most Americans are evil and would ruin any other place due to their character and indoctrination.Secondly,all people cannot emigrate because you need a portable and decent income and almost half of america makes like twenty thousand dollars a year and struggle ?financially america still is the promised land?

If going abroad to places like Vietnam were easy half this forum wouldn't be so angry and sad and we would share info and tell people why abroad is better socially and romantically and that would be great.

Also Americans are indoctrinated to be patriotic and loyal to this country and see moving abroad as a form of treason in many people.

@Winston If the option of leaving America and living abroad was talked about and discussed openly both in everyday life in person and on the news, then more people would do it.

The problem is that it's not. You're giving people too much benefit of the doubt. Yes, the information is FREE ONLINE. However, the majority of people are set in their ways and are close minded. It takes 2 things to understand the concept of leaving America: Intelligence and Open Minded.

Most people are not intelligent. And then you have people who are highly intelligent but they're close minded and set in their ways.

Yo, this is Uncle Sam! Naw how I am suppose to run my country if all my slaves leave my plantation at once?
Who's going to make me some motherf*kin money here ye? Y'all need to get back to work, so I can wage my Fortune 500 Wars and keep the world free from all those nasty Russkies, those yellow Chinese commie bastards, and terrorist killers. Y'all need to mind your own business and
get back to your cubicle naw and stay asleep kindly please. Take that blue pill and stay in the matrix like a good boy! America is the Best country
in the whole wide world. You don't even need to look beyond the horizon naw because there is everything here in America Town. Even if you temporary leave America town, we are really close by. We have over 1000 military bases all over the world just in case you feel home sick.

I always thought it was weird how there's no real American neighborhood or community abroad. We have these America Towns that are all joined at the hip to military bases. They aren't places like Chinatown or Koreatown or so on like every other group has where you can just go and live.

I know "gringo towns" are prevalent in LatAm, but they seem to all be retirement communities or party neighborhoods that depend on the cheap local labor.

Hey now.. Uncle Sam here! I can answer that.
That's because LatAm has been America's colony and backyard starting from United Fruit Company. America needs retirees to act as money mules to successfully transfer dollars to LatAm countries and to keep LatAM countries dependent on American money. It's all about spreading American power in LatAM countries and keeping all those old geezers out of my plantation. It's also about keeping those pesky Chinese out of my backyard.

And why is there no American towns in other countries? That's because American Expats are from the military or workers from Fortune 500 companies silly! Normal slaves doesn't have the money to set up life in other countries. I can't let my slaves runnin around in Europe land and discover so called "socialized medicine", "5 week paid vacations", "strong labor rights", and all those other awful socialist programs. I gotta keep them "American" and confine them in military bases and company assigned domiciles. I also planted giant American Flags with state of the art sentries and guards in front of every Military Base or Dormitory just to remind the slaves that they work for me. Oh and if some of the slaves managed to independently establish himself in other countries? There is this thing called worldwide income tax for American slave and whenever he goes and make money, I can take a cut of his action regardless of where he is.. I mean I can track him down with NSA satellites and CIA slave catchers anywhere on the globe. Teaching english in South Korea or Japanland? I don't care.. I'll just take a piece out of his pocket! If he gets the amount wrong, I ma rape his ass with IRS, and then a nice waterboarding in GITMO by the CIA.

The answer for that is "OBLIGATIONS".

Once you tied to American way of life (Mortgage, Car, Bills, Work, Kids, and other related obligations) you are stuck on these factors. Also If you are surrounded with a culture (family, friends, and coworker) in which majority of people haven't been out of States or do not even have a passport, you will become like them. They will tell you such and such that other countries are dangerous, they will kill you, sent you to filthy prison, steal your money, and even eat you alive. I had this situation when I told my family, and friends that I'm heading to Russia for the first time since 2017, but my question to them was "Have you all been to Russia?".

You become stuck with these factors that are against you once you stayed too long in America. Like some people say, America is a Luxury prison. People do not want to leave out of U.S because its all about being in a comfort zone. American's wont ever sacrificed comfort and material things over challenging experiences or the unknown. And even when Americans travel out of U.S, they will only travel to the most familiar places (Mexico, U.K, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands) or any countries that are EASY.

My goal is to visit as many countries as I can, and I'm fortunate enough to travel more. The only thing about me is, I have a taste with European women. So I guess the more I stay in Europe, the more chances that I may able to find a good wife. I do NOT want to associated with any Americans (Men and Women) if I'm overseas, unless if you do not bring your entitlement, stupidity, ego, ignorance and cut throat competitive attitude. Foreign people made me feel better about myself. You rarely see them angry, annoyed, stressed, sexless, insecurities and have invisible barrier to them.

The more you travel means the more options you have.

[MrMan]

Life in America can be comfortable. There are people who get training in a trade or a practical education (degree in engineering, accounting, finance, certain, applied sciences) who can get good jobs and earn a decent living.

Travel is expensive for them. But think about how tough it is for unskilled laborers flipping burgers or working retail to buy a plane ticket.

What would happen if every single male in the country left to find a foreign woman. There would be a backlash in countries around the world against American men either defiling or marrying up their women. It would be hard for American men to compete and find women. The US government would likely make it hard to bring women home and creat new laws. Prices of foreign air tracel would increase.

The US would deteriorate sonce the next generation of the individuals who build buildings and repair houses, cars, heaters and air conditioners would be gone.

Many young women brainwashed by TikTok, media, and our education system would decide they are nonbinary lesbians, throwing plates at each other in apartments with broken door knobs, no heat, and water dripping from the ceiling.

*Cynic here, Uncle Sam persona is gone.

I also think it's the jingoism and the American Exceptionalism that attributes for Americans not traveling abroad.

American travelers complaint about everyone not speaking English to them, they couldn't find the nearest Mcdonalds, and try to preach the locals that America is the best. They think Europe or Asia is like some sort of a Disney Land for them and Americans do not respect the rules in their host country.

In addition most Americans are isolated like Uncle Sam said above. Most Americans come abroad because they are military men or business men working for big multi national companies. They are confined to their dormitory and barracks. Only foreigners they interact are the local prostitutes.
