Like, why do the wealthy even hang around this place anyway? They could go anywhere. Sure, turn it into a shit hole so bad you don’t even want to be there. Go ahead.

    They hang out here because America is currently one of/the best wealth engines on the planet and they can afford to avoid the shit parts. Once either of those stop they’ll go somewhere else that’s nicer

      I have said for years now: the USA is the best possible place to be rich or to get rich. But if you aren’t, and have no plans or ability to be, then it’s the worst in the developed world.

      This is the real reason. It continues to exceed expectations in profits and honestly, it’s got almost every climate you can think of. It’s a pretty country.
