Don't be. You can ask stuff here too it just won't get you as much proper engagement, will fall off in the feed from the way the feed floods with everyone else's stuff at the same time
@lurkerhasarisen OOh, I see. Yeah, I was talking about upper class

I suppose I should confess that there are other places I would consider if my circumstances were different. But since you specifically asked about wealthy people wanting to live in the US, I was making the case for that.
If everything about my finances remained the same, but I had no familial connection, I would seriously consider becoming an ex-pat. I’ve done it before on a temporary basis (just over a year), and it has a lot to recommend for a single white dude with money.

No matter which part of the socio-economic spectrum you’re on, the US is as good as - or better than - almost anywhere else. If you’ve made a fortune elsewhere and have a significant income stream, the US is a fantastic place to live (provided you pick the right place - that part is really important). Virtually none of the sucky things about the US will touch you, and none of the sucky things about living elsewhere will touch you, and you get access to all the cool stuff you wouldn’t get elsewhere.
Don’t get me wrong: the US has its share of problems, but there aren’t many places where it’s better to be rich.
I regret clicking on number 3
I forgot this was a thing. She didn't ask me any serious questions and they seem tangential to vetting. All three were dumb and not obvious vets
@lurkerhasarisen Ooh I see; so that's why It just seemed asinine. Why leave the means of production that made you rich in the first place?
Addendum, @Vermillion-Rx:
I hope you replied with:
a census taker tried to survey me once. I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
thip-thip-thip-thip-thip-thip!
