[quote=FlyerInHi]In a global economy, I’m OK with people seeking investments in different locations.
spd is a small business person investing in USA. He has no duty to love the USA. A GM manager working in Peking doesn’t have to love China. He can criticize all he wants then leave when he’s ready, or not. Sometimes the opportunity to leave has not arisen. Maybe he married a local woman who won’t leave her family? He loves his wife but hates were he lives. Maybe he hates his job too, but the income sustains the family.
Life is very complex. There are all kinds of reasons people don’t just pickup and go.[/quote]I have no issue with him not loving USA. I just find it interesting that he claims there is just as many opportunity in Europe, the economy is just as vibrant, and he loves it over there and he hates it over here. Then why stay? All of those other reason you gave are just excuses. If he is not ambitious like he said and Europe has a great safety net and he would be much happier there as he claim, then why stay and complain instead of just follow his heart and be happy. Is a few $ to buy a few more baubles really worth not being happy?
