We're very well aware of the extent of the situation in the US. It's been a long time since Europeans lined up to emigrate to America.

Also, ironically enough, most Northern Europeans would already consider the circumstances of the underprivileged in Scotland unacceptable... The bad parts of Glasgow are considered the most horrible places in Western Europe. And the people there have housing, healthcare and access to education.

I dunno. Feel like that's not the case for a lot of very talented Europeans, many of whom I've met in my multiple trips there and unanimously want to emigrate to the US. They certainly aren't the "give us your tired, your poor" immigrants anymore, but I get the sense there's a real sense of economic stagnation there. I've only been to Europe about 25 times, but you get a sense of it pretty well. But you seem to be European, what do you think?
