These people drive me fucking insane. The number of wealthy immigrants who full-time complain while being from like, Singapore or Ireland is bizarre to me.

Why live somewhere you have no connections to and dislike when you prefer your arguably-nicer home country?

Can someone enlighten me? I’ve worked with dozens of those people

It’s especially wild when you talk to Indians who INSIST America is the greatest nation in history and that we have no idea how lucky we are.

Go to India/China/UK/France etc and live & work for half a year and you'll see why.

Look at opportunities/salary/living condition/infrastructure and it's clear. Of course USA is not perfect and has lots of problems, and many people go back to their country after getting a degree from a US institution, for very good reasons. But still a lot of people stay for the benefits.

Money. For the same reason I prefer rich immigrants who hate me and buy my shit over nice ones that end up on stamps after they get their papers.
