    Ya know, normal people do the work of three people at their job and don't have time to look for other work until it is too late.

    One lucky mother fucker indeed.

    You realize that's self-contradictory, yes? It's also false even in sentiment. Normal people work eight hours a day, sleep eight hours a day, and have eight left over to find time for job hunting. That's not even considering the two days off they get each week. Yes, situations do vary but that is normal.

    The job situation is not that bad in all countries. Sure, there are those that are worse than the US (Spain, Greece), but others that are quite a bit better. You can also get other benefits: better food, more affordable health care, less violent crime, a police force you don't need to fear etc. On top of that you may get better working conditions, better annual leave and better wages.

    Perhaps (counterpoint to this poll) it's time to look at leaving the US and moving to another country?
