Watch: American Man Reveals 'Endless Reasons' Why He Left The US For Abroad
"I didn't leave America because I hated it. Initially I was just curious about how people live in other parts of the world," said Mr Adam in the video.
"But after spending about 18 months outside the US, I've started noticing all the things wrong back home, like unwalkable cities, terrible public transport, and how people outside the US actually enjoy their lives more. That's what's keeping me from going back."
Expounding on his critique, Mr Adam stated that the US was an ultra-capitalist country designed to take money from the residents.
"I think once you live in a society that feels like it was built for the people, you start to notice the ways the US was designed to just take your money."
"There are honestly endless reasons why life is better in many other countries than the US."

'Too much hustle'
As the video went viral, the OP received mixed reactions, with a section of social media users agreeing with his assessment while others vehemently disagreed.
"Yes, people outside America enjoy life more than those in America. America is too work driven. It's too much of a hustle culture focused on productivity," said one user while another added: "It's easy to live abroad when you earn an American salary."
A third commented: "And yet, millions of people keep trying to come to the US year after year."
A fourth said: "So wrong. You like fast and commercial life, you live in NY, Miami, LA. You want a chill life, you have South Carolina. You want broke, no work, just hang out, you live in Oklahoma. America is whatever you want it to be."

American YouTuber says he fell sick in India despite eating only in 5-star hotels: ‘It is not racist'
American YouTuber Tyler Oliveira has waded into a growing online debate about whether pointing out India's hygiene and infrastructure problems amounts to racism. The 25-year-old content creator claimed that he fell seriously ill during his visit to India, despite sticking to food from five-star hotels throughout his stay. Tyler Oliveira says he fell sick in India despite eating only at 5-star hotels. Oliveira was responding to a viral video by an Indian woman who criticised foreign travellers – particularly white visitors – for allegedly slumming it in India to reinforce negative stereotypes. In the video, she said that 'white people' often travel on tight budgets, live in poor conditions 'worse than the way underprivileged people in India live', and visit unhygienic locations – only to return and complain about how 'pathetic' India is. Falling sick in India Countering this claim, Oliveira said that even luxury travel in India is not immune to the country's sanitation challenges. 'Only ate in 5 star hotels and still contracted 4 types of Salmonella,' he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding that the illness was likely caused by 'the hotel sourcing eggs from a filthy chicken farm right next to a literal mountain of trash.' 'There are serious hygiene issues that must be addressed in India,' wrote Oliveira. 'It is NOT racist to address the poor quality of life most Indians are subjected to while the upper caste insulates themselves from reality.' For naysayers who refused to believe him, the YouTuber attached proof in the form of his medical reports. His post was flooded with angry comments from Indians who slammed him for 'defaming' the country. 'The 5 star hotels were about $100 a night. It was budget travel relative to American standards. Ambani has a billion dollar tower overlooking the slums. Your anger is misplaced,' he wrote in response to one angry comment.

Video: Fliers Agitated Over IndiGo Take-Off Delay, Air Hostess Folds Hands
Mumbai: Chaotic scenes played out onboard an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Varanasi last night after checks on the aircraft delayed take-off by two hours. In a video that has since circulated on social media, fliers are asking when the flight will take off as the cabin crew requests them to remain seated. At one point, an air hostess also folds her hands and requests a passenger to take his seat as he protests the delay. The video captures the anxiety around air travel in the aftermath of the AI 171 crash in Ahmedabad last month that left 260 people dead. With air travel prices witnessing significant hikes post-Covid, safety concerns are now triggering passengers. The Varanasi flight, NDTV has learnt, was delayed due to a technical issue that was identified just before take-off. As the ground teams worked on the aircraft, other flights got the runway space. Once checked, the IndiGo flight carrying 176 passengers took off from Mumbai. According to the plane tracker flightradar24, the Mumbai-Varanasi flight, 6E 5028, took off at 9.53 pm, over two hours after its scheduled departure, and landed in Varanasi at 11.40 pm. Its scheduled time of arrival was 9.45 pm. The viral video shows cabin crew requesting passengers to sit patiently as the ground staff complete the checks. An air hostess approaches the man shooting the video and says, "Excuse me, Sir, video is not allowed, please." The passengers protest this. "Your flight is not taking off for the past one hour, sounds are coming and you are telling us that shooting a video is not allowed," a flier is heard saying. "Does our life have no value?" asks another. The air hostess then folds her hands and says, "All the tests on the aircraft have been completed." This angers the passengers more. "You are running the tests after making the passengers board the plane? What if something happens in the air? Who will take that risk?" says a passenger. Several passengers are seen recording videos and questioning the cabin crew, "You guys expect us to cooperate with you. You guys should also cooperate with us. Arrange an alternate solution," a passenger is heard saying. The woman pilot of the aircraft is seen asking the agitated passengers to take their seats. "Let's talk, but please sit down. We will not close the door till you are satisfied, but please sit down. Let us clarify all the doubts." View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Varanasi News (@thevaranasinews) Another video shows the pilot, Captain Urvashi, assuring the passengers that they had delayed take-off so that every system is checked thoroughly. "We are ready for take-off in 10 minutes. If you do not resort to chaos, I guarantee you we will all reach Varanasi." At this point, some of the passengers chant, "Har Har Mahadev" and the pilot joins in. Let's have a good flight and be positive. You have to trust me that if there was any issue, I would not fly this plane. The aircraft is fit to fly. Let us all reach Varanasi safely, happily, nicely. Please don't worry," says the pilot.
