I had a similar experience when I was offered a job in the US. Not only is my salary basically double for the same work, but I will be taxed about a quarter of what I am currently taxed in the UK. AND the cost of food, fuel, and sundries is cheaper.
People in America really don't realise how good they have it in a lot of cases, I think. That's probably why they're so flippant about giving it away to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that holds out his hat.
As a nurse I am always laughing when I hear the woke nurses threaten to move to the UK or Canada. The only places that are even close, like 75% of US salaries for an RN, are Norway and Australia, ans their taxes and cost of living wipes out the extra.
I've been all over the world, Europe and Asia, accompanied with 5000 of my closest friends. I know how good we have it in the US, I've seen it first hand.
My uncle back in Ye Olde Country likes to poke fun at me and my parents for how spoiled we are in the US: central AC, 24/7 hot water, a clothes dryer, etc. It was certainly an adjustment to live in his house when we visited.
Then again, he grew up without indoor plumbing and had to carry water from the town well every day, so he admits he's grown spoiled as well.

More like every Ranjeet, Jamal, and Mohammad.

You have my sympathy. I bet that industry is fully compromised with the woke.
Where I'm at its pretty low key thank God. Mostly just normies. I did have to erase a gay ass pride message from our breakroom but it didn't reappear.

User name checks out.
And yeah, I’ve also been to poor countries courtesy of Uncle Sam and it makes you really appreciate the USA.
Because we are not quiet Communists like most of the world.
