US citizens, if you could go to another country
And live there legally, with a job, would you?

When I was in the USAF I lived in a few different countries for periods of a few months and enjoyed it. France, UK, Panama, Vietnam. I once had a job possibility to live and work in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years but it fell through. Also was once tempted with an Air America type job but said no thanks.
I'm too old for that now, but would be OK if living accommodations were in the penthouse suite pf a 5 star hotel and job just entailed hanging around and smiling and just for a few months.

@Akimbo75 We do seem to live with a sense of urgency in the US ... or have progressed to that over the past 50 years.
Remember when people fed that urgency by putting things on "lay away"? Where a store would hold the merchandise safely and the customer paid a little at a time, then received the merchandise once fully paid for. Remember when banks had Christmas Savings accounts? Now, 50 years later we can get things with ZERO down and 10 years to pay, or putting things on charge cards with unlimited years to pay.
Just this Sunday morning I put in a $300 food order at Walmart and it was delivered to our doorstep at 6 p.m. I could have received it earlier. With Amazon I sometimes think they are in time travel and delivering before I even order it.
Does that urgency exist anywhere else on earth?
