America isn't losing the people who can't make it work. It's losing the people who could, but chose not to. Engineers. Teachers. Nurses. Software developers. Small business owners. Skilled tradespeople. The exact people a functioning country needs to thrive. We're not leaving because we failed in America. We're leaving because we succeeded and still couldn't build a safe, stable life. I had a good career. A solid income. We owned property. We did everything "right." And we were still one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. Still sending our kids to schools with armed guards. Still working ourselves into the ground just to maintain "stability." That's not a system that rewards success. That's a system that extracts everything you have and calls it normal. So we left. And we're not the only ones. American policies are actively pushing out the families who have options. The remote workers. The entrepreneurs. The people with transferable skills and portable income. The ones who can leave are leaving. And what's left is a country that can't afford to lose them but refuses to give them a reason to stay. That's not sustainable. But it's not my problem to fix anymore. Link in bio if you're part of the brain drain too. ๐๐บ๐ธ

You know who has the easiest time moving abroad, educated people. People with college degrees and advanced degrees have the easiest time finding ways to move out of the United States. And that's because visa programs encourage people with those degrees to find ways to come immigrate to their countries. There's all sorts of working visas and job-seeker visas that allow people who are highly educated to enter those countries even without a job. Additionally, educated people have an easier time finding jobs that will allow them to work remotely and then pay them enough so that they can self-sponsor to find remote work visas all around the world. These in addition to other factors is what's creating the brain drain. America is experiencing a massive loss of brain power. The brain drain is a huge problem because these people who were brought up in the American education system and went on to become highly educated. The future generations were kind of counting on those people to continue on with the progress of America. But when people realized that there is no progress happening in the United States and they dip out to these other countries, that's going to leave the United States in a lurch. It's going to leave you with the least educated among you just there fighting for survival and not having anybody who's highly trained in anything that is still willing to stick around and stay in that mess. While there are immediate effects of this brain drain, I think a lot of the effects will be long-term and they won't be realized until many years in the future. All of a sudden you'll look around and wonder why do we not have any engineers? Why do we not have any people who have advanced degrees to teach at college level? It's because they were sick of it and they dipped out to somewhere that would appreciate them, that would give them paid maternity leave, that would give them sick time, that would protect their rights, that would pay them a livable wage for the actual area that they live in. So next time you look around and you wonder why isn't anyone taking care of this, it's because of the brain drain. No one is there to take care of it because they left.

The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? ๐๐บ๐ธ
