Exactly. I don't see much of the resistance that others seem to see. The setpoint for "acceptable" has been moved substantially, and I don't think it's going to go back in my lifetime.

I've officially left the US. There are some other northern expats in my new location, and there's a telling pattern that occurs when I meet a new one:

Me: So where are you from?
Expat: The US. I decided it was time to leave.

Not "I love the weather here!" or "I've always wanted to live somewhere exotic!"
