Re: Poor "Jim Pennino" :-)

There are some telling data that American news media isn't willing to touch, let alone share; but Europeans do not mind doing that, especially via Telegram.
European countries are providing numbers showing that there are waves after waves of American middle class citizens asking them to emigrate to their countries. Highest requests are for Britain of course for the ease of not having to learn another language, but just about any country in Europe has reported that there is a flow of American middle class citizens to Europe to permanently work and live there.
This flow, beginning with coming back of Trump to office, has increased 25%... !
Most of these middle class people have given the Europeans economic reasons behind their decisions to emigrate out. Note for instance that on the average, an American middle class can pay off his house after 30 years of work right now, while this period for a German middle class is about 2 years!
Many also have given reasons of increasing gun violence around them. A few want to emigrate out for political reasons. They just detest the neo-con breed (i.e. Nazis) that's taken hold of the country, and want none of that.
Cost and quality of healthcare is also playing an important role for the middle class Americans. They are not satisfied with it and do not trust the system. Again note that American government paid Chinese scientists to develop a virus that would eliminate the bulk of retired Baby Boomers.. That's how Covid came to being. This is true.
In American private hospitals, essentially pharma and health insurance companies decide whether it is cheaper to treat a patient or cheaper to kill the patient, and have the hospital take the cheaper route. This has been so for decades now in this country. It has forced the middle class to purchase very expensive life insurance policies so the hospital wouldn't choose their death when they need medical help.
So for the middle class middle aged and the elderly there is this constant fear of hospitals and they do whatever they can to avoid going there.
There are very few hospitals in USA that are run on charity money. These rare hospitals are much safer, but also do not go beyond providing the minimum that can be done for a patient. So treatments in there aren't as thorough as in private hospitals, but the patient is never killed by them if health insurance or the pharma ask them to. Such hospitals have their own money to pay the cost. They receive them as charity.
But almost all hospitals are private entities with no charity going their way and in them money decides for everything, including the life and death of the patients.
None of these situations exists in the European countries. Hospitals in those countries are tied to their governments, and healthcare quality is adequate and quite cheap for patients.
Lower class people in USA generally do not have the option of emigration and cannot afford the high cost of changing their country to another one. Upper class and billionaires would obviously stay in the country to milk everybody anyway they want. But the middle class has the means to change to another country. So most of these emigrants are the middle class Americans.
The flood of Americans into Europe has created some problems here and there also. For instance in Portugal, the price of land has increased significantly and is not normal anymore. It used to be one of the ideal places of Europe to work and live in, but Americans have turned it into a high cost expensive place as if the land is a hot real estate area of California.
So the "best places" in Europe are already taken up by Americans and have changed nature as a result. But the second best places are still accepting immigrants from USA, and this is a steady ongoing flow.
