Famous YouTuber Oliver is shocking everyone by declaring he will give up his life in America after 8 years of immigration.
On the 26th, Oliver posted a video on his YouTube channel stating that he has decided to end his life in America after 8 years of immigration with his Korean wife. He moved from Korea to his hometown in Texas to start a family, believing that as a powerful country, America would not have economic problems, but he pointed out the stark reality that it is completely different.
The first issue mentioned was the unbearable taxes and maintenance costs. Oliver revealed that starting next year, he will have to pay about 11.56 million won in property taxes alone, and including the housing insurance cost of 6.37 million won, owning a home will incur fixed expenses of about 18 million won annually. He expressed that especially in Texas, where natural disasters are frequent, it is difficult to even get insurance, and related costs are expected to rise by more than 15% each year, indicating that the economic burden has reached its limit.
The crumbling public education system and climate crisis were also factors that solidified his decision to leave. Oliver criticized the rapidly deteriorating quality of public schools in America and the reality that unqualified individuals are replacing teachers due to budget cuts. He also mentioned the climate disaster situation where hundreds died due to extreme heat over 40 degrees in summer and past power shortages, expressing concerns about the unsafe infrastructure for raising children.
Above all, what left Oliver and his wife in despair was the nonsensical healthcare system. Despite having to pay about 3.76 million won in health insurance premiums starting next year, he revealed the reality that they cannot receive the necessary medical services. He shared a shocking case where his wife's acquaintance, who complained of pancreatic cancer symptoms and requested a detailed examination, was told by the primary doctor to eat salt and rest, only to be diagnosed with cancer at an advanced stage later.
He expressed fear about the situation where he pays nearly 4 million won in insurance premiums each month but does not receive proper treatment, strongly criticizing that here, if you are sick, you are treated like a disposable item.
This video vividly conveyed the threats posed by the chronic issues of high housing costs, the collapse of public education, and the absurd healthcare system in American society to actual residents, resonating with many and prompting a reconsideration of the realities of immigrant life.
