America is a big country. Europeans like to make fun of Americans for not wanting to travel internationally, but they’re forgetting just how big a country America is. The United States is almost two times the size of the entire European Union, which has 28 members and six candidate countries. In the United States, you can move to hundreds of different micro-economies without ever leaving your country. This is a great and underappreciated advantage of being American. Most people in other countries don’t have that advantage. You should make the most of it.
