		deanCommie on Jan 1, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 2021 Letter I think you're making the point. North America is for the rich. There is no better place to be RICH (better than even Europe). Western Europe is probably the best place in the world to be poor. It seems that China is now the best place in the word to be middle class. (I know very little about it, just basing it on the article and the other discussion here). That the richest want to leave China for North America is not an indictment of China, it's an indictment of North America.

Yea you’re exactly right. The elite of every non first world country are busy trying to immigrate to the US or one of the Anglo nations. It doesn’t say much about whether a country will continue to rise or not.

North America is the country for rich of the earth.
