No control over to whom, just where.

    Ugh, okay, so, this will require some exposition. We went to a high school production once that was supposedly supposed to be really good. I wanna say there was some partnership with Cirque de Soleil but I tried to verify it now and can’t find anything so I may have misunderstood or be remembering incorrectly. Regardless, the theater was packed. The kids were amazing. They were doing the types of acrobatic stunts you’d see at a Cirque show. Sure, they weren’t quite as good, they’re high schoolers, but it was still just absolutely phenomenal!

    Leaving, I started to really look around. The buildings on this campus were so huge. Like twice as tall and wide as any school building I’d ever seen. Nicer looking than my college campus. This was a public highschool. I’d never felt jealous like that before. I’d always known the quality of public education was different in different areas, but this was hardly an hour’s drive from where I grew up. I’d seen other nice schools in the area before but this one was truly on another level.

    So my answer is I wish I was born in Milton High School’s school district I guess.

      Granted… you’re born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldn’t make it to a hospital.

      (Couldn’t resist)

        lol, that sort it thing crossed my mind when saying it. Because obviously you’re not born exactly where you live. I was born in a hospital in Atlanta but my parents lived outside the city. Honestly outside the metropolitan area unless you’re being extremely generous with the definition of metropolitan area.

    France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)

            THAT is what i love about france! They actually rise up! They protest! So many germans just complain but then dont get their ass up to mass protest. France rose up when they had their retirement almost raised. Germany did nothing. There is a debate about people should work 48 or 56 hours “for the good of the economy”. BARELY anyone protests!

    Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.

    Czechia seems like it’d be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.

    The single largest predictor of future wealth and earning potential in America is what ZIP code you were born in… So, with that in mind… 94027 or 33109. If you’re born in one of those two areas, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be a multi-millionaire by birth.

    Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.

      Why?

      My country’s passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.

      I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that’s not the case is not really that big of a deal.

        My comment was supposed to say “travel privilege” instead of just “privilege”, just missed a word.
