Good luck immigrating to Australia if you think the US has "closed down" - you might get stuck in a concentration camp on an island.

Belgium is a little special because of the fragile Flemish vs. Walloon "ethnic tension". It seems to be stable so long as both sides are permitted equal subsidy.

Yes. Flemish/Walloon stuff is a lot, but it doesn't stop there. France has similar problems with out of control government.

Why not Australia? My occupation is on the list of wanted occupations?

Then you'll probably be OK. It's just that immigration is no longer welcome in general. Great place if you avoid the spiders and the bogans, though.

Well, we'll see whether they want us. I'll be visiting the country with my wife in a couple of weeks. Then I'll file the paperwork.

Btw I'm not frustrated in daily life ;-)

I've just started to believe that "happiness with high taxes" is a euphemism for an ever growing sense of entitlement that is (barely) being fulfilled. At least in Belgium and France.
