I just hope that I won't end up running into problems if I ever feel like starting some businesses that require state of the art talent. That's the one thing that the US excels at providing.
depressing if true. expound on talent?
The US is a hub for the global market of high-end employees. Although that status might slowly errode with all the horseshit that is going down in e.g. Silicon Valley right now.
Demographics is destiny. To wit: A single mom with 3 kids gets more money from the state than the average man can earn. Which means that women are incentivized to have a bunch of kids, and then divorce, taking half his stuff as a side bonus.
America is fucked. It will take a hundred years to recover from the current situation, if we started Today.
That happens almost everywhere in "first world". Not sure why. But the rules are clear so no one can say they didn't know where they were getting into afterwards.
As a suggestion, try to partner with a woman that has his own fully paid home and almost as much money than you. Don't let her ever sell that home (she can rent it though), specially not if you are planning to have children (with her). Everything will be easier
if when things get messed up.
P.S.: Oh, as a side note... you will soon discover that many of those woman are not that much (desperately) interested into having children either. Wonder why.
