(obviously it privileged to think everyone can just pull up stakes and move to Italy, but it’s equally naive to think we can magically turn the us into a first world country by voting harder)
I just skimmed through the article, but it reduces to being that the two Italian people she mentioned are more laid back and have more friends. Plus less medical and college debt.
But, yeah. Even by that criterion, there are many other countries that would be a better choice.
Honestly, I’d pick . With the former, no language barrier and Scotland is a bit more laid back. As for the latter, France at least has done some pretty based things like topple their monarchy and the 1968 protests.
Plus, a good cheat code to use against CHUDs in Europe is saying “what are we, a bunch of dumb Americans?” any time they do something CHUDDy (but in France you might want to say “Brits” instead for the extra sting.)
