    I left just over a year ago, -partially- because of the chance the orange asshole would get reelected.

    It’s been one of the best decisions of my life. Life in the Netherlands is quiet, doesn’t require a car, I can see a doctor without financial ruin, health insurance is reasonably priced (by American standards), I never see giant lifted pickups or people so paranoid they wear a gun on their hip into a restaurant.

    It’s also centrally located so traveling Europe is easy, English is widely spoken (though i am of fucking course learning Dutch), trains can take you damn near everywhere, and I don’t panic a little every time I see a cop.

    If you can be self employed the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty makes the Netherlands one of the easiest countries in Europe for Americans to migrate to.
