>If your goal is to get in make money and leave Dubai might be a lot more approachable from both company owner and employee perspective.

Sure, but if we are talking about a place to move to and live the US is definitely my preferred choice.



Let’s be real though: the US may -very- quickly move in the bad direction, rights-wise, come November. The SCOTUS has also demonstrated its willingness to overturn decades of precedent as soon as they sufficiently tilted that way ideologically. I don’t know if you can strongly count on the US remaining a safe home base when it comes to rights for gay people, minorities, and women, at least in the medium term. I’d use caution.


This comment is pretty obviously spreading “fear, uncertainty, and doubt.”


Makes perfect sense. It's a different target. In terms of being able to start a business up and bring people in from about anywhere, get them working and some semi-modern infrastructure with not a ton of regulatory and immigration hassle though I struggle to think of an easier place to do it.

There are definitely a fair number of EU citizens exploiting this and UAE tax residency.


Where in the USA?

There's California and NYC. The rest is either economically depressed or a poor cultural fit. Sure, theres a few pockets of exceptions too, Pacific NW, Arizona, Colorado etc.


So the entire West Coast, south west, and north east? The most desirable and populated areas where the majority of the population live?
