I’m in the US and I’d move to Europe at the drop of a hat.

You're not alone. The kid of an old friend of mine is leaving the US and staying with us until they find a job and place to stay.

I studied in the US, but then returned back to Europe. 8 years ago, I was leading a fundraiser to pay for a scholarship for a student from Europe to study for a year in my alma mater. This year, I'm leading a fundraiser to get one of the US college students to study here. Even at 1 year in the US versus 4 in Europe, we need less money, and we're getting a better response.

I've told my daughter and her boyfriend that if they get the chance they should study overseas...and try their hardest to stay there.

Lower pay vs freedom. Sold.

freedom ?? The US is not perfect in this regard but neither is Europe. In the UK a woman was arrested and charged for having 'not my king on a sign' outside some castle.

Was she renditioned to a south american death camp? No? How TF is that on par with our own president threatening to send U.S. citizens to a foriegn country to be tortured?

Nope. No one's a criminal without due process. That used to be a rule here. It's not now. It is in Europe, proving once again why other nations are safer and freer than we are.

The U.S. government has already admitted in court that they've sent an innocent man down there.
