I moved to France last year with my wife and 3 young children. The services are incredible. We receive ~$500 a month from the govt just for having 3 kids. We even received ~$800 for back to school supplies. We have health care, free education with bus service, nicely maintained public services - everything that you don't have in America. We are even receiving the "minimum revenue for societal insertion" until I get my business off the ground. It's like getting paid minimum wage so that you remain a viable part of society and aren't pushed into the margins. Imagine tax dollars actually being put to good use!
I had deep reservations about leaving my home country. I love America and everything it used to stand for. However, as previously stated, I have 3 children, and I really don't see any viable future for them in the NEW American. So I decided to cash in on my wife's Frenchness and give it a shot. So far, it's working nicely. I even took 6 months off to do nothing to make up for all the lost vacation time corporate America imposed on me. My last few years' vacations have been job seaching after getting laid off.
Good luck to all the Americans who remain. Vote for some real change - and hope the election doesn't get stolen again.
Impeach the whole lot of the neocons, try them and imprison them. Then try to recup some of the looted booty - good luck there!
Actually, yelling at the guy on the phone, while not nice for him, is a form of customer feedback. The guy who gets yelled at then has the responsibility of reporting the customer complaint to his manager, who then should report it to his manager, until someone with the power to change something decides that action should be taken. Not yelling (or otherwise voicing complaints) only perpetuates poor products and poorer product support.
Breath in the form of verbalized comunication is rarely wasted...
