As another piece of Eurotrash who has seen (much) more of the USA than the average American, I have some objections to your ehm, objections.
1. Don't get sick - probably true, but apparently they're working on it. I've found the level of health care mediocre compared to back home, but the prices absolutely insane. Think 10 to 100 times higher for the exact same treatments in some cases. Prices are so out of sync with the rest of the world that my insurance explicitly covers full healthcare costs in the entire world except the USA.
2. Don't have that in my home country either, except for the right to take a certain number of weeks of unpaid leave without losing your job (mothers only). Tbh, I don't think it's unreasonable not to get paid for time you don't spend working.
3. If you think this is better outside the US, you're in for a shock. Cultural sensitivities you take for granted will be different or completely absent, and others that make no sense to you will be in place. Simple math will show you that cancer screening of asymptomatic people is completely pointless by the way, but that's a bit off topic.
4. The only one from that list you really don't want to be in the USA is openly atheist. Just say you're not into organized religion instead, and you'll be fine. That said, I've never set foot in a place where being part of a religious minority was considered a good thing. Americans are less likely to openly say what they _really_ think about your kind than Euros.
5. Probably true. In most Euro countries, waving the flag outside the context of international sports may be associated with wingnuts on the extreme right
I just spent a whole day figuring out and setting up celery and a broker just to have a small maintenance task run for a few milliseconds about once an hour in a django application.
This seems needlessly heavy and complex, and somewhat negated the development time I expected to save by basing this project on python rather than java.
I'm not blaming python, but rather my knowledge of it. There must be an easier way to run small periodic scheduled tasks in the background than this.
