    Current Country: USA. Absolutely fucked.

    Current State and City: Eh, just the average bullshit, nothing bad as the federal

    Former Country: PRC. Absolutely fucked x2. Except there wouldn’t even be a “No Kings” type of widespread protest. Corruption everywhere. There is no “FDA” (or if there is, they never do anything about food safety), there is no “FTC”, there is no “FDIC”, there is no laws protecting consumers like if some fraudster stole money from your bank, oh well, (at least bank in the US might help you). No Medical privacy laws. And no “ADA” equivalent. No independent unions (there is supposedly a government controlled one that does jack shit), very lax worker safety regulations, and if your employer doesn’t pay you, good luck, there’s no government agency that’ll help you. For a country that obsess about control regulation, there sure is a lack of regulation 🤔.

    Seems like the EU is the final beacon of actual freedom and prosperity, but unfortunately, I probably don’t qualify to immigrate to.
