I’m in Chile, so it’s an obvious and stark contrast.

Chile has a retirement system that makes the US look like a socialist/progressive paradise/hell (the money you are required to put into the system actually exists, and is accumulating a decent interest rate here...what a wild concept!)

Chile just had a telethon event called “Chile helping Chile.” They raised millions. No Chileans in US hospitals.

Free market, personal responsibility, and hard work made the difference between Chile and Haiti/New Orleans.

Okay, if I brush up on my Spanish what are the job prospects like down in your neck of the woods?

I have thought about being an expat in Chile for a long time.
