The typical American moving abroad is richer than the median American, and the median American is much, much richer than the vast majority of humans on Earth. The middle-class person being discussed in the article had $100k in the bank, which is more than most humans earn in a lifetime. So yes, rich-people's problems. |

I really don't get your point. So, if you are 'rich enough' (note: the people in this article are solidly middle-class) to actually maybe be affected by and give a shit which passport you've got, your opinions are immediately written off as 'rich people problems'. On the other hand if you're among the poor in the developing world and your passport is perhaps not something you'll ever think about or care about, then because maybe according to jessriedel you might prefer a US passport to e.g. a French one or a Swedish one or whatever, the US passport is 'the most coveted in the world'. Despite (apparently too rich to count) people giving them up in record numbers.
I'm fascinated to hear other opinions you hold on random shit, if this is any indication of how you arrive at your conclusions. Do tell.
