I've lived here all my life you have no idea how quickly things are turning to shit. 17% inflation in 1 year is no joke (highest in Europe), record high immigration combined with dumb co2 laws which stop construction on houses. All issues you point out are irrelevant racism is everywhere. And as I said before if you're at the bottom of the barrel without a job the Netherlands is 1000x better for sure as it's a socialist country. But if you work hard there are way more opportunities for high-paying jobs in America. At the end of the day, I'd rather pay my own bills than someone else their bills. It won't be long before the government here will have a say if you put a piece of meat on your plate or how much you drive with your car. You can feel the shift towards CCP-style control in everyone's life.
