not trapped in a traditional sense but trapped in terms of not seeing a way back to your country with a similar result or lifestyle. You'd have to hope that you planned ahead while you were in abroad for the adjustment which I don't think people always do. So sometimes its either remain a guest in a country you enjoy, or go back to a country you belong to and feel out of place.

shyt sucks over here in America now
What stops people from working together to create opportunities in areas with lower costs of living?
Paying for the convenience of work and entertainment of major American cities is what got struggling Americans in major cities in a headlock.
Smaller cities are on the rise and people there are creating better, more affordable opportunities for work and entertainment there.
You gotta pay to play. Shyt would be sweeter if communities worked together to build, keep, and protect their own.
Gotta put down roots and make something happen instead of complaining about how hard shyt is all the time. Pay to play.
FOH
You defending price gouging and landlords charging to infinity for rent prices. No one wants to move to a small MAGA town where CACs are willing to lynch blacks on some Jim Crow shyt.
I see no problem with what she is doing. Go where you can get the most for your buck. I do wonder how is the social life over there for foreigners though, especially Black people? Also, are you considered to be a novelty at best to the natives, but cut off from the real social interations that exist there?

I agree in the sense that it would be almost impossible to go back to that 50hr a week lifestyle living in either some magat infested town or with 3 roommates in the city or some shyt.
When I saw that 1200 travel allowance I knew ol girl was NOT coming back unless it's to retire. This is like going from staying at a hotel to your friend's couch in his 1bedroom apartment and food costs more than premium room service.

That’s only possible because the Chinese gov forces them to do thatThe amout of pro China propaganda thats been popping up over the last year is hilarious
But once again it goes to show you the standard of living here in the states is bottom of the barrel when it becomes to super powers.
I saw a clip the other day Jack Ma is at a conference talking about Chinese CEOs put a bunch of money back into their infrastructure and citizens to boost up land development and the standard of living after economic boosts. He then asked "what did the American CEOs do when they got richer? Bought private jets and yachts"

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
It still happened. And guess what? They still rich af with their own private jets and whatnot
those cnbc videos are usually propaganda/promotional videos
you watch it and think "wow i wish i had what that person has" and then go visit their social media and see they have courses/consulations or you simply boost their engagement thus creating more USD for them to live off of.
