Because he hates the US? To the point that he expatriated himself? And his business is built on helping others who hate the place to leave? Just spit-balling here but I feel like I am in the ballpark.

@leonelgaldinomonteiro4783 Yeah, I was gonna ask "How's your German" haha.

@leonelgaldinomonteiro4783 Yeah I have no problem with it at all. I actually speak German myself. There are a lot of Germans in Paraguay, the BBC did not lie to you.

@VwapTrader The language barrier is only permanent if you let it be permanent. I had a 6 month long headache when moving to the US but my English is fine now. It will never be perfect, but it works and that is all you really need! The hardest part is to just go for it and not worry about your mistakes. Go beat up some Mexicans with awful Spanish for 3-6 months and one day it won't be so bad. Or anyway that is how it was with my English. Mexicans are exceptionally friendly in my experience.

@paymans1153 Very bureaucratic is an understatement! If you are retired or maybe work under the table remotely or something it might be OK, but running any sort of business is just a nightmare. An absolute nightmare. France is a fine place to vegetate or spend money if you are in a good zip code, great food great wine blah blah, but its a bad place try to be productive. Just owning an apartment you can experience this. Firing anyone in France takes an act of God, including thieving harassing building superintendent/concierges. We ultimately had to bribe one to quit which cost around 4000 euros from each unit in the (small) building, and that was a while ago. In addition France now has tons of "permanent undocumented guests" lying around highway medians and public parks, and not just in Paris, its pretty widespread.

@Fauci is-a-liar Yeah it is. I live in DC. I just have to drive about 45 minutes in any direction and it starts becoming very different to DC itself. Actually more so than going to most other places I travel outside the US as far as how the people behave, especially as regards the pandemic. Yes, the federal government overreaches constantly. Yes, big tech is evil. Yes, the country has serious issues. But my parents were locked at home for over a year in Argentina and needed special permission to travel even within the country. The reaction to the pandemic is not a thing unique to the US. The whole freaking planet lost its mind and most governments seemed to really enjoy the extra power. I know it is not fashionable to say this on this hate America channel but If you are anti "health uber alles" most of the the US (outside the big blue blob areas) is pretty good as far as the virus response. This is one thing about the US that is trending in the right direction. My biggest current complaint is that the US will not let unvaxxed foreigners enter at all, and the test for citizens to re-enter is rubbish.

I was also for leaving before the pandemic, but we are staying for now. I am an immigrant to the US so have another passport (for what it is worth) and my American husband became St. Lucian just in case. But for now we stay put and join you with the red thing.

@Redneckboy991 I hate that our US borders are closed to unvaxxed Canadians (and unvaxxed everyone else). Maybe with a regime change in the US this policy will change. Then you could just drive out and never look back. I saw what lockdown was like in Argentina, absolute insanity, very similar to Canada maybe worse. A big sorry from me on behalf of my stupid government holding hands with your stupid government to the detriment of us all.
