Americans broadly take the concept of mobility for granted. We assume we should be allowed to live in that house, city, or neighborhood within our own country as long as we can afford it. Just go where the vibes are. But - the level of mobility Americans enjoy is a historical aberration and as you can see below not the standard even within countries we admire. And our mobility freedom is fragile. Housing costs alone are starting to make it an impossibility for many to take advantage of self-invention and reinvention through mobility

From my travels I've learned that the US ain't so bad in terms of diversity :) (not denying any problems, but just saying it's better than most are led to believe)

My mom believes all the propaganda fed through the news to her about China. I tried telling her China isn’t that bad actually. When you have a different culture of togetherness instead of individualism, a population in the billions with extreme levels of varying education, democracy and “freedom” aren’t necessarily the best system for them. She sees the bad things going on there (and forgets every country has their problems) and thinks the worst of the country. Btw, she adopted me from China. She might suffer from hero complex a little bit, but her heart is in the right place. It’s not her fault. It’s the US propaganda machine and the bubble she lives in. At least she’s open minded and I can share my perspective and open her mind a little bit.
