> The US is like a sports team that gets to draft the best players in the world
Americans tend to overestimate how attractive it is to live in the US. It's true you can make a lot of money, more than you would in Europe working for the same companies, but you'd also be willing to live in a very different society, with high inequality and almost no worker rights protections. There was a time I wanted to, but not anymore.
I miss visiting the US though - it has wonderful places and people, but I wouldn't want to live and raise kids there.
