Really depends on where you emigrate to and some other factors.
But, imagining living in the US, with that constant dread of [everything], or having a lot of troubles and stress of emigrating to a better future and away from all this? I would not think overly long.
I mean, I retired in my early 20s, no kids and no pets no family (except wifey), drown in money and comfort, but I would consider me too poor to emigrate to the USA. And even if I'd be rich enough to actually enjoy the USA, there would still be tons of stuff I couldn't stand or fear. I can't even begin to imagine how life must be juggling 3 jobs just to no starve. And always be one accident or sickness away from obliteration, financially.
you also have the issue of the us being a danger to the world. face it here or face it elsewhere. I was just talking to a friend how if I was rich im not sure if I would be happy because of where the country and world are going.
Can't argue with that. And no, how could any sane and open-minded person - wealth being irrelevant - not he sad? The world goes down the drain just because of greed and the inherent benefit of the worst that humanity has to offer in traits (dark triad/tetrad). At least in capitalism.
yeah and I don't even mean like crazy wealthy but like hit the lottery and now don't have to worry about bills or retiring and such. its like well sure nice for me but the society and world is still effed.
It sure is...
