In fact $70000 is a burger flipper income in Norway. Established professionals are doing much better. On the other hand you don’t want to know how much a burger or a gallon of gas cost in Norway, let alone home prices

Yes but you're taxed up the wazoo. Not just income tax but sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco. And VAT on your auto and other purchases. Yes great cradle-to-grave social services. But also that six months of winter. That dour Scandinavian outlook. And last but not least, lutefisk!

Yep, taxes and tariffs are a massive downside but all in all most of them like it better.
Actually the most unattractive of all in US for people from better off European countries are crime and healthcare. They are so used to ‘free’ doctors that the idea to pay for medicine makes them sick by itself.
