Jimmy Carr Doesn't Think America is Collapsing Like the Roman Empire

These are comforting words! Exactly what I have been thinking ever since I set foot in the US for the first time in 2006. Coming from Eastern Europe at the age of 20, I felt like anything is possible. It is not perfect and I have learned that throughout the years, but I have also learned a lot about many other systems around the world. I studied master in Germany 2015/16, moved back to Eastern Europe, supposedly for a year to work online and spend time with family, Cofid hit and the stay was prolonged. Now it is about time to move back to the US and I can not wait. Europe is so much more difficult in so many aspects. It is more expensive, it is confining and claustrophobic, and all other kinds of phobic. America truly is the land of the free and the brave. It always gets worse before it gets better, and my hope will never die, unless they throw zombies at us I am not leaving.
