New Rule: America, Love It Or Leave It | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but I'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible. I honestly don't understand why people don't move to another country when they get older in retirement. It seems everybody has excuses for almost anything to not take action to better their situation.

Comparing prostitutes to politicians is a grave insult to prostitutes.

I’m from the UK, love the UK, lived in NYC for 2 years. Loved it, miss it, but above all miss you guys. Be nicer to each other please!

I've always said it, visiting and living somewhere are two totally different things. When people say that they cant wait to leave America reminds me of teenagers saying that they cant wait to turn 18 to move out on their own and we all know how that usually turns out. 🤔

The grass is greenest where you water it.

As I'm sitting here watching this here in South Africa, we don't have electricity because we have had rolling blackouts for years now. This is because the government is so corrupt that there is no money to upgrade our generating capacity. Today we only had electricity for half of the day. Tomorrow will be the same. Come live here. You will miss home pretty soon.

Proud to be fellow American with Bill Maher. Salute!

Moved from America to Vienna, Austria and what he says about trading "things you hate" is dead-on. I feel lucky to live in such a great city but still miss the states quite a bit.

100%. Was born and raised in London, UK. Moved to NJ, USA for 7 years and I found myself complaining about all the things London had better than Jersey city. Then I went back for a long vacation to London only to then complain about all the stuff I had in Jersey City that I didn't' have in London.

I'm an immigrant from one of the aforementioned countries, and I can't understand how SOME people in the west don't seem to realise how good they've got it...

We need more of these reminders. Thank you.

There is a serious lack of both historical perspective and gratitude in the United States today. We have had it so good for so long that we now have two generations who have no real idea that they won life’s lottery when they were born here.

As a European I can say that nobody listens to 90% of the music of Eurovision.

There is a severe lack of perspective in the modern west which stems from a very selective view of history and present realities. It infects people on both sides of the political spectrum and pushes perceptions further and further from reality resulting too often in either impotent anger or hopeless apathy. Thanks for a this small dose of a humorous reminder here-- it's more important than it seems in the current ideological climate.

I was an mmigrant who was also banned by trump. When I finally came back, the press and my American husband expected me to be angry but I wasn't, I was happy and grateful. When they asked me why I was happy, I said nobody would fight for my right to live in their lands except Americans. There is nothing to be angry about. The more you travel, the more you'll appreciate this county. Great topic, Bill Maher.

Having my country of Tajikistan mentioned in any context on an American talk show is a win for me!

As a Nigerian trust me you don't want to live here You think you hate your government wait till you meet ours

“We don’t need quitters.” BINGO

Sometimes we don’t know how good we have it. Sometimes I find myself complaining about different things or I’ll hear friends complaining how bad their lives are. I just remind them of all the nice things they have…a big house, a new car, an easy job, beautiful pets and good health and they immediately shut up. 😂 When I catch myself whining about something, I also remind myself of how bad people around the world have it and how blessed I am. 🙏🏻
