Those countries enjoy their perks at the expense of the US.

They get aid and protection from us because Russia or the immigrants in those countries can roll them at a moments notice.

I am.

I could be convinced to move to Australia for the right job.

You'd have to pay me millions to get me to live in the US.

lmao, Scotland is a state that lives completely on the welfare of the UK, and now the EU. They would be a third world hellhole if they were left to their own devices. Completely insolvent and incapable of sustaining their own economy.

And yet they get free health care from birth to death, welfare for unemployed people for as long as they need, disability payments and mobility support with subsidised cars for those that need them and they get free university tuition...

If y'all have a kid in America.. $15k
If y'all have a heart attack and need a bypass $30k
If your kid has a degenerative disease and you got no money, you watch your kid die..
America sure sounds awesome..

The USA is a country I enjoy visiting but not somewhere I would choose to live or raise a family. The UK, most European countries have a better quality of life.

High quality education, higher food standards, better quality of life, not likely to get shot, healthcare, more equal society, less hate, prejudice and racism, policing by consent means our policing is more effective and fairer.

Also, as much as it might annoy some people from the USA, despite its problems, Mexico is an awesome, colourful country with amazing food, friendly people, history, and ironically I have never felt unsafe in Mexico but have felt unsafe multiple times in the USA. Plus my OH is from there so I have a certain love for the place.

Heart bypass surgery cost an average of $75,345 in the United States, compared with $15,742 in the Netherlands and $16,492 in Argentina https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-mo-healthcare-costs-in-us-far-exceed-other-countries-report-says-20140416-story.html

The only reason they can afford this is the welfare money they get from their sponsors. If scotland was on it's own, there is a zero chance their economy could support the gov't providing these services.

I mean that's not exactly true, the Government have acknowledged it several times and officially apologised. They have a lot of focus on decolonization and settled treaty claims.

Still a lot of progress to be made but they're doing more than you're implying.

Canada's entire schtick is being slightly not as bad as whatever the States are doing and getting away with it because the US is always doing something worse.

At the same time, if it wasn't for the US being right next door, we'd probably actually be doing things to make the country better, instead of doing the bare minimum to really just stay in front of the US.

Scotland.

Free Health-care
Amazing Views on doorstep
Cheaper Cost of living
Diverse Culture
Long History
Cheap / free education

I mean, aside from the healthcare and cost of living, most of those apply to here on Long Island, NY lol.

I'd be shocked if you have any recognizable Latino population in Scotland, though I'm open to being wrong on that part.
