If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

Probably, but could might as well be any other 3rd world state.

to call the Problems of the US 3rd world is just disrespectful to any Country with actual 3rd world Problems

"oh no, your politicians do something you don't like. Well, i get ruled by a Dictator and every Month his Troops come to the Village, loot everything and rape our women. But go on, tell me how bad your life is. Oh and did i tell you that we have to drink muddy and infested water and our youngest just died because of poor sanitation?"

No it's not.

I'm referring only to the fact that poor people have it much worse than rich. That's not fun nor a joke.
