> I don't get the obsession with the US here.

This conversation, that you replied to, was a consideration of whether it made sense to move to the US. You mentioned that if you could move there, you would.

I presumed it worked as a basis of comparison?

> And with 50% home ownership statistics, it seems I'm not alone. I'm glad the system worked for you but it failed me and so I will vote to those who put my interest first and not devalue my labor.

I presume you live in Germany? I know some engineers who live there, I used to work with a team based off on Germany years ago.

They are doing fine.

I don't really care who you vote for. Based on your stance, I presume you blame immigrants for "devaluing your labor".

Contrary to you, I believe that with more trade and movement of highly skilled people, economic progress follows.

I don't believe stagnation is a viable strategy. You are free to believe otherwise.

Have a wonderful afternoon.
