to get on a boat, that I may or may not need to own, and sail away from here.
Incredible to think that something like 65% of Americans have NEVER left the country, not even to Canada or Mexico. More impressive, even, is that like 40% have left their home STATE.
why would they, sure you could go visit europe, or india, and a lot of people do that.
America is a huge fucking country. If you want to have interesting travel, there are PLENTY of places you can go within america alone. It's just not really required. Sure if you want to experience other culture, and what not, you're going other places, nobody is going to stop you. But you can literally just drive across ALL of america, without a passport, it's so much easier. And again, there are tons of geographically unique places to visit, there is a substantially significant variety of culture within america itself.
It's just not really needed.

A lot of people never leave their shithole counties
its to keep them ignorant, most of them tend to be conservatives, the only time they would leave is joining ht emilitary, that is about it. i never been to mexico, but i been to canada on both coasts different times when i was younger. was in china pre-2000.
unlikely, it's more likely that most americans just don't really feel the need to go anywhere outside of america, due to how large it is, and how much cultural variance there is within the country. It's more than any single european country could imagine, more than every west european country could imagine even.
I mean it's a very large country with many interesting places, diverse landscapes etc etc, I don't find it particularly strange to never have left. I wonder how many Europeans have never left Europe, though I guess the cultural differences between countries there is larger than between states in the US.
How many live paycheck to paycheck
I imagine that's a large part of it, yes, but how many don't, and just CHOOSE to stay in like, Oklahoma or something?
most people i imagine? How many europeans are born in a country, and just, never leave, move out, go anywhere else. It has to be a statistically significant figure, not as much as america, considering that UK is maybe the size of ONE state. But still.
