After living and working in multiple countries around the world: in the USA its easy to make money. In much of Asia there is a huge amount of corruption, and in the EU a huge amount of needless tax and regulation, and in neither areas (apart from a few Anglo countries) is English spoken as the official language.

The EU needs to adopt English officially and individual EU countries need to adopt English as an additional official language and allow children to be instructed in it
