Why would people want to immigrate en mass from Norway to the USA? Putting aside the enormous fucking racist implications of that statement, people immigrate to improve their situation. The USA isn't that great compared to other developed nations, and also we have a demagogue in the White House who is bound and determined to make things worse. So, uh, no?

The folks that I have heard of who want to move from there are usually those who are greedy. The financial disparity is really small so they likely assume that overachievement is tamped down. Perception versus reality, etc.

It's not a large majority, as you can tell. America's media corp being so big often presses a nice, healthy reminder that we have some big losers among the winners. Still doesn't mean that I don't deal with a Canadian or two who thinks that they have it worse up there, though because of things like this.
