Hi there,
I'm Jingthing.
I decided to take my political stuff over here to a U.S. based forum.
I'm an American that has lived in Thailand for over 10 years and am now considering moving to Colombia or Mexico.
My political background is liberal, center left coastal (east and west), but hardly a coastal elite.
Might I suggest Venezuela.
You might but it's a very stupid suggestion. I like places where you can live better, not worse.
if you can live better in mexico why are so many of them wanting to be in the US?.....just asking,you said you are considering moving there....
You must be some kind of economics professor. I hope you didn't incur too much student debt to reach your level of genius.
Most of the migrants now are from Central America, not Mexico.
There are many nations "down there" south of the border and there is even a first world one -- Chile.
Mexico has one of the most important economies in the world.
Of course expats won't generally live better in Mexico or many other places if they're working for local level wages. They live better if they're on corporate expat packages or importing incomes (and/or assets) from their home countries.
But of course you knew all that already, right?
