10 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Move to the United States 

Here's my entire all about America playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLq-_cmf3H6yoRYg-ZZSFNFo4dBKxg85JC

I am Canadian and my wife and I moved from America a year and a half ago after spending six years there. We were treated like dirt and the violence and bad attitude is off the charts. Everything is a competition so people will not help you because they do not want you to get ahead. The obesity is off the charts and you will see most people are enormous and are deeply offended that anyone even the Dr advise them to exercise and eat less. Violence is a heart beat away and you had better watch your step. The women are something else and are loud and belligerent and demanding their rights and if you are thin and attractive you are shunned or threatened with bullying or just plain bullied by other women. If you are polite and nice you are considered soft and a target of derision. Then there is the weird religious groups that permeate society and I often think it strange a country so filled with religion is one of the most violent countries in the world. America is all about what you have materially and it is rare to be liked for who you are as people here are very superficial and if you are of no use to them they will quickly abandon you. Americans are obsessed with sex, drugs, alcohol and the size of their house. Children are emotionally abandoned as their parents are too busy working all the time so that they can aquire things to appear rich. Corruption is so rife that if you have integrity you are considered strange and old fashioned and on your high horse. Of course not everyone is like this but it is so prevalent that society is crumbling fast.

Corporate greed had sucked the soul out of the United States.

I moved to Germany 5 months ago and theres no way in hell im going back to the states. i had no idea life could be like this...

"It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin

Over 20 years ago, as I was working for US employer in France, they offered me to transfer to their headquarters in the US with a pretty decent salary and a green card. I politely declined the offer and decided to remain in Europe where I can afford being sick, I had 6 weeks vacation/year and a reasonable work/private life balance.

I remember as a kid i wanted to move to America because it looked cool in the movies and video games, now i can’t help but feel privileged that i don’t live in America

My dream was always to live in America. I’m Irish and grew up thinking that it was the the best place in the world. Just as we were about to move there, my girlfriend got pregnant and it was put on hold. The plan to emigrate never went away but somehow years later, I moved to Australia. A place, I had never even considered. I’m here 15 years now and no regrets. I finally got to visit The stares 3 years ago and saw I dodged a bullet. Loved the place but couldn’t believe the homeless problem. Old people who should be enjoying retirement still working just to live and just talking to people who work night and day just to make rent. Here, we have Medicare which is free and a system that looks after everybody. There are problems here too but nothing on the scale of the USA. Hopefully it can turn around. The richest country in the world should be able to look after its own.

I live in Australia, I get 4 weeks paid annual leave, 15 days paid sick leave and 12 days paid public holidays. I get free medical and ambulance. My employer has to pay 10 percent into my retirement fund. I’m 58 and have almost a million dollars. I get a pension for the rest of my life too. Plus I was a Reservist in the ADF, that means I get a military pension on top of my old age pension, approximately $ 1600 a month all up plus my own retirement fund. Go America. Losers.

When I moved out of the United States and came to Korea, I was finally able to take care of my dental work and also go to the hospital to take care of other health issues without going into debt.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of living in the US. I'm 26 now, wouldn't want to live there for all the money in the world...

Man help me. I was born and raised in the usa and its so depressing, stressful, the people here are really depressing, selfish, rude, and extremely shallow and mean. They all think that the universe revolves around them and the culture makes fun of people who are ugly, short, poor, fat, etc. I want to get out of here!

I am planning on moving out of the US before 2030.

I live here in USA. Our own arrogance will be our downfall.

I lived in the US for almost seven years and I have seen things only going worse.

Trust me if Americans could actually afford to move out of the U.S we would

The USA is very stressful country to live in, everything got very expensive and is getting hard to have a decent live. I can't take it anymore 😪

When a culture glorifies selfishness and greed, this is bound to happen.

I was born and raised in America and have lived here my whole life. I’m a nurse and have been for 21 years. I’ve worked full time in this country for 32 years and I can give you one BIG HUGE reason to say away from this country...GREED! The people at the top are sick, disgusting and unbelievably greedy. Our healthcare system is off the rails insane. I don’t have health insurance because it would cost me as much as my rent every month and I still would not be able to use it because in addition to paying that much every month there is this thing called a deductible that we also have to pay. In my case I have to rack up $10,000 in medical bills before the insurance pays anything and that $10,000 does NOT include the monthly amount I would have to pay just to say, oh, I have insurance. It’s total bs. Did your read what I said I do for a living? I am a Registered Nurse. This is SICK!! Don’t even get me started on the cost of living in this country. I have always loved my country. I served in the military when I was young but I am OVER it. Unless you are wealthy and healthy, this place is a mess.

I'm glad you have the courage to say this. I congratulate you for protecting our right to freedom of speech. I tried repeating this to someone and it didn't go too well. I was testing that person and he failed the test. I congratulate you for being a well educated American and someone that can criticize our country and keep a straight face. You rule!

Honestly, the US credit score scam is one reason I want to leave this country. You are basically deemed homeless because of a credit score. That is insane.

In the 1980's I was a teenager and said the usa was on a slow downward spiral. I was wrong, it's on a FAST DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

Most countries work to live, here most people live to work. We have the illusion of freedom probably.

Someday, if I can figure out how to make *REAL* money, I want to escape America. But for now, I'm trapped in this hell.

I was born in America, and I can say the parent thing is true, both of my parents are in jail, for drugs and abusing me and my siblings. The education system is bad, at school I feel I'm doing 3rd graders work, but then I turn around and everybody else is struggling in my grade. And my school food is so bad, its not that nutritional, and is horrible to eat. In Texas, half of my highschool aren't in GYM class. And the students don't exercise on their own time. So many of us teenagers aren't even exercising a day of our lives. And then the media. We get told all this stuff like being fat is okay and healthy, and you can be any gender you want. Oh and not to mention but SO MANY of my class mates smoke weed, or vape, or smoke cigarettes. And there is even this guy that my school who sells me+h. Our future is fucked.

“The US is a third world country wrapped in a Gucci belt”

Born here 40 years ago. It gets worse every year.

As an active duty member of the US military, I’ve been counting the days for the past 7 months to leave the USA. 4 years left to go.

I've lived in the USA all my life. Please don't move here. Its really really not worth it. You can do better. I want to leave but idk what place is best for me.

Political campaigns need to be limited to like 6 months before election . And no midterms. This nonstop political campaigning surely makes people mentally sick.

I'm leaving the country. I honestly can't take it anymore

I moved to St Thomas in 2010 and it was the best decision I ever made in my whole life, and I was 41. For the 1st time in my life I made friends! Friends who truly cared for me. I work at a local bar 4 days a week and it's the best job I ever had. America is good but not great anymore. Down here we don't care for left and right, just humans. Meanwhile, my brother is struggling to keep up with his family. For once I became free!

I'm American and love the good things about my country, but I'm also well aware of the problems we have, problems that a lot of my countrymen ignore or deny. The truth hurts, but we need to face it and try to make things better.

I'm planning on leaving America I'm tired of the culture and I want to see more of the world and I don't want to brainwashed like the others into thinking American is the only country. I am searching for a country to move to.

"It's the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

What about the lack of social connection in America? You aren't even allowed to flirt or talk to strangers. That totally sucks.

Profit comes first in our medical system.

Social media & politics are causing the downfall.

The things I like least about the US is the out of pocket cost of healthcare, the extreme isolation of suburbs and lack of connectivity to city centers you have in European suburbs, the unpaid maternity leave, unrealistic university tuition costs per the rewards getting out of college, the divide between crime and posh sections of towns, some attitudes on racial prejudice (and not just Conservatives and red states but all 50 states and particularly Boston Minneapolis SF Chicago and Connecticut’s cities where it’s a mess by zipcode of systematically segregated school districts) and worst of all the awful choices we have (on BOTH of the 2 oligarchical Political parties) and the binary forced choices for leadership, and US vs Them mentality on BOTH parties with BOTH breeding career politicians elected and re-elected over and over and over whether it be Elizabeth Warren/Nancy Pelosi or it being a political pawn on the rightwing side. I feel like a lot of these issues are due to maybe too much power in Federal Govt and maybe states rights are for a reason, but I’m saying this from a Liberal perspective. Why is states rights a Conservative thing to be? I want states rights also so that a city like Berkeley California can do things that European cities do and emulate choices of model living they want. I want local municipal rights as well. Neighborhood rights, and individual rights. Why do we only have 2 parties? What does having guns have to do with freedom to practice religion? Why do we correlate social and fiscal conservative as one or do the opposite? We have good ideas from registered Republicans and we have good ideas from registered Democrats but the party national platform campaigns on BOTH are annoying and divisive …. BOTH national parties and the political attacks sicken me. Do we need a filibuster in the Senate ? Yes we do ! We need it regardless which party controls Congress, We need to change the way our political leaders think! If you are a Democrat, your prime focus should be to LISTEN to all of the majority of wants and needs among ALL 50 states and satisfy the best path for America’s future for ALL Americans from Liberal to Conservative, with a perspective of a more Liberal vantage point, NOT an Attack campaign US VS THEM!!! And Conservative politicians no different the goal should be to appease as much of the country and across as many representative groups as possible without alienation, for unity of the country , but with a Conservative vantage point. We need this unity. We are one country in the end, we need to make it better.

Theres a problem in the USA that seems overlooked a lot, or at least it doesn't get the weight it deserves: culture centered around work. It's no joke, americans really only seem to think about work, the whole of american life revolves around it. Americans move and change everything else to fit it, love life, entertainment, even children. To me that is one of the main issues in the USA, and a lot of other problems stem from it. Sure it's in part the reason why the country is wealthy, but it has also sprang up a lot of problems that are no easy to see.

😂 I’ve been living in the US for almost 15 years I am a US citizen I loved it in the beginning. Once I started going to college, entering the workforce, dealing with middle management and experiencing the intoxicating mentality of competition and gaslighting I started hating it. People under constant anxiety and stress pill pooping, fake it till you make it attitudes; that is another way to deal with competition I guess. I just hate it now

I'm not trying to be cruel but most of the kids don't even know their parents

Even back in 1986. I was in college. Class was given a test graded on a curve. My score was 60 something which was average. Most of the scores weren't much higher except for some Chinese student who got a 98. He told me that alot of the stuff taught in this class he already learned in their equivalency of Jr. High.

My partner is American and we live in my country now. When we visit my in-laws and stay in the way most middle-class families are living here, hanging out with my in-laws and doing normal errands or socialising with them as they normally live…I get the distinct understanding that I have saved my partner from a much lower quality of life by marrying them and taking them to live in my own country. We don’t feel that way when we are home, but returning to the states is now very jarring and a reminder of how lucky we are not to live here. Their family are totally unaware that we feel this way and don’t love visiting them mostly due to the fact that their part of America feels like such a horrible place compared with our own life. It is both boring, yet very intense and we even notice how unwell we feel due to the food choices here being mostly fast food/fried/high sugar diets. We put on weight quickly during a visit. I joked with my partner that we wish their parents lived in Italy/any other EU country, because our visits wouldn’t cause nearly as much anxiety for us and we know we’d enjoying it more as a holiday instead of it feeling like a sacrifice.

You can tell a lot about what is wrong with people by little things, like how they drive. Someone who tails you on a country road while you’re going the legal speed limit, passes you and floors ahead of you like they’re in the Daytona 500 without regard for anyone else’s safety really says a lot about that driver’s character. America has a crisis of character.

Being a debit slave is the American way. Social media isn’t helping either.

USA is a first world country but behaving like a 3rd world country. I rather Canada than United States.

I was struggling to get American citizenship for years Now I'm looking forward to move out from this country so I can get some sleep again, not being constantly stressed out, not working nights, being able to afford dentist, have friends available and willing to go have fun etc.

America is tearing itself apart. The political divide has reached an extreme level where neither side wants anything to do with the other. Unfortunately splitting the country may be necessary in the near future.

Nicanor Parra, a Chilean poet pretty much summed it up: "America, where liberty is a statue."

I’m not proud of being a u.s citizen. I hate how this country operates in a way where it’s everyone for themselves. We will collapse. This country is a divided mess and it’s not stable at all.

I'm from the US originally, moved back not even six months ago amid a ton of issues in Canada, and now about to accept a job in Germany to hopefully get out and never come back

America has many countries in itself - some very poor and dangerous, some very rich, clean and safe. Traveling to another state sometimes feels like you're in a different country altogether. That is in stark contrast to Canada where the standard of living is pretty much the same from coast to coast.

We have failed to invest in our people. Lack of public health, mental health. Lack of infrastructure investment. Tax cuts for the wealthy. What a pathetic record.

Thank you for your honesty.

ur research is solid nick, complements of the midnight chronicles.

As an American I approve this message. It was better 20-30 years ago.

While he is pointing out facts, he failed to actually go down to the source of our problems, corporate greed and corruption in our government has a lot to do with everything he have mentioned

Killings, shootings, crime rate. Meh this isn't the safest place.

American democracy is like going to the supermarket and “choosing” which generic drug to poison your liver with.

Too many military spending abroad. And the politicians forget domestic problems. That's the main cause.

Great video man.

Still working 60 hour per week construction at age 75 due to inflation eroding the purchasing power of my Social Security, pension and savings. Income tax, property tax, health insurance, food, transportation, utilities, insurance co-pays, maintenance, continue to rise @ a 10% annual rate. To obtain employment in the future I plan on lying about my birth date, race and gender.

We need to stop being the World's police and start investing in technology and education

Reminds me of the height of the British Empire. In the 1800's Britain ruled the waves but most people in Britain lived in crushing poverty

Yeah, the "New America" sucks. I'm living to leave this country. I can't wait. I used to love this country but not anymore. As the country and standard of living here has declined rapidly over my lifetime; I always believed we would correct this. But now I have complete confidence that the government, political environment, and society in general will continue to deteriorate and erode even further into the abyss. it's time to look at alternatives and invest in other countries. It's probably wise at this point to move some assets overseas. A huge economic crash is coming to the States. Like it or not; it's coming. A lot of people are going to be homeless. I predict within 8-12 years this will be one of the biggest issues with millions of homeless people asking for the bailout, but that money is already going to be gone.

The fact that it costs a huge amount of money just to revoke your citizenship tells you alot about how the country works.

FATHERLESS homes is a HUGE one!

My parents immigrated to the U.S because my Dad insisted it was better than Europe, the rest of my family lives in Europe and are healthier and happier.

With each passing day, I get more and more reasons to leave this place. I'm currently saving up to move elsewhere. If you do come here, I beg of you, don't come here to stay. This country's lost, and it's getting worse everyday.

As an American who has spent half his life in various other countries, I can say that Americans could stand to learn a lot from other countries...IF they would listen. Part of the issue is that Americans have an arrogant know-it-all attitude, like "America, love it or leave it", "f off and don't let the door hit you on the way out", "the whole world wants to come here" (actually they don't), etc. Wisdom comes from being able to have some introspection and willingness to improve. No country is perfect. I love my homeland, but as an old guy now, I don't know if I could live there anymore. I've seen how it is in other places...and it would be hard to go back to some of the basic struggles Americans have, which frankly are 3rd world level problems, not 1st world ones. I also don't want to deal with the constant race-baiting insanity and political litmus tests every time you talk to someone in America. It's boring, irritating, and narrow-minded.

I visited Sweden & Finland 2 years ago, I’d leave the US for one of those two countries in a heartbeat! 🇸🇪🇫🇮

This video is what i need today. Been contemplating leaving this country all day

I lived in China for 5 years and I lived like a king. Came back to America and I'm now facing homelessness. SSI just doesn't pay the bills and Medicare is getting worse. Which I would have stayed in China.

USA: Don’t do drugs!!! Also USA: Here’s some painkillers

As a person who was raised by a single mom (she did her absolute best and is great), one parent households are the biggest problem facing this country. At least in my opinion anyway.

Haha 4:00 we had the same add heir in Australia lol but just wit Aussies in it but twit the egg frying in the pan lol eh haha

So incredibly glad I live in NZ and not the US.

"The richest third world country"

We're slowly losing our freedoms here in USA. We're not really that much of a family oriented Country either.

Wow america is the worst omg

Outstanding!

The US has a misuse of capital problem, from an over large defence budget, a badly managed health care system, to too much debt and too much central bank intervention.

This country is rotting from within because of a precipitous moral decline.

Moved back to Canada 25+ years ago when the USA did suck bad, now it really sucks and still no public healthcare.

Thank you!

Nick I'm so glad you admitted our problem which is actually us, the people. It takes guts to tell someone that they are the problem.

Talking to friend from Seattle who's a navy vet made me realize how good life is in Ireland compared to USA. Most people have the Hollywood movie impression of USA.

The truth hurts!! I went to Nigeria and found peace and my body started healing. I had cyst on my elbow and my left ovary that are now gone from spending a month in 🇳🇬. I’m leaving this country and never coming back.

I am so depressed now. Thanks!

most great empires in history were not defeated from outside but from within and when they were defeated from outside it was only because they had become so weak from within

To think that only 40 years ago, the U.S. was the place to go to. How the mighty have fallen.

How many trillions were spent on Occupying Iraq and Afghanistan for almost 20 years?!!

I am very relieved by this video. Also your song deserves a Grammy. Lmao

I used to envy the United States, and wished that I lived there. What I've seen transpire over the past 15-20 years has convinced me that it's in a downward spiral, and no f@c^ing way would I want to raise a family there now. It's sad.

For me as a German it was frightening to see how little vacation Americans have and that many don't even know what parental leave is

The world's circus ! Mass shootings anyone ?!

The American Dream never existed

My former boss said, "USA is the land of milk and honey but you'll never get the milk and honey". As someone who studied and lived in the US for 10 years, when I returned back to Indonesia to work I was amazed at how far Indonesia has developed.

I am European and I can agree with what you are saying. Although I think the USA is a better place to live when you are rich, I will never understand how you can leave behind the poor people. It will backfire.
