    I know if I was the child of an immigrant, I would just try to make a bunch of money and move to the country my parents came from where my quality of life would be so much higher with all those US dollars.

    the US is going to empty out in the next 30 years. the middle class is going to flee to cheaper countries. taking a cue from immigrants who send all their money home from the US and then go back home and have a nice life set up.

      this is absolutely happening, yeah. my parents retired to a cheaper country, my siblings are moving abroad, I moved to my partner's home country where I could actually afford to buy a house.
