No. But they had a real reason. Your posts look like you try to find a "magical
answer to fixing your problems", as you so nicely say, with having more sunshine
being the first item on your list...
I have tried to tell you that there is no "magical answer". In particular, if
you are looking for more sunshine, there are lots of places with more sunshine
than the UK in Europe. And it is really easy to move within the EU. You have
automatic work authorization in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece...
Also, medical treatment costs money. The US doesn't have universal healthcare,
and insurance companies generally don't cover preexisting conditions. This is
all very well known, but you dream of getting treatment here. Did you ever stop
to think about how you are going to pay for it???
You obviously haven't done any research about this at all, and that's why I
called you a dreamer in search of a Shangri-La. |
