No control over to whom, just where.

    I am actually living less than a mile from where I was born, like some middle ages peasant who never traveled, but have traveled. I’d like to have been born here, but in the timeline where Al Gore waited for the ballots to be counted and won.

    France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)

            THAT is what i love about france! They actually rise up! They protest! So many germans just complain but then dont get their ass up to mass protest. France rose up when they had their retirement almost raised. Germany did nothing. There is a debate about people should work 48 or 56 hours “for the good of the economy”. BARELY anyone protests!

    Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.

    Czechia seems like it’d be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.

    The single largest predictor of future wealth and earning potential in America is what ZIP code you were born in… So, with that in mind… 94027 or 33109. If you’re born in one of those two areas, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be a multi-millionaire by birth.

    Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.

      Why?

      My country’s passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.

      I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that’s not the case is not really that big of a deal.

        My comment was supposed to say “travel privilege” instead of just “privilege”, just missed a word.
