How's it going in America?

[Andrew Wilson]

From what I've gathered from Instagram, you have moved to the good ol' U.S. of A. How's it been going for you? What are some of your favorite things? And is there anything you miss about England? Or do you go back and forth enough that it isn't really a thing?

Yes, I currently live in Texas and on the final stretch to citizenship.
I miss very little of the UK and will never return, not even to visit.
Personally, despite everything I’ve accomplished, I think being an American is the greatest privilege on this planet. I only wish some Americans could see that.

Wow! That is awesome! Welcome to the land of the free!

Do you believe that England is irredeemably lost or can it be saved? Also, thank you for choosing make the US your home, we appreciate you being here and serving as a role model for us and our future generations.

To keep a complex answer simple, I think it is lost. It may come out its mess in the future but it will never be the same.
I quick fix might be to annex it and make it the 53rd state. But, what do I know?

I sadly agree with @Christian Craighead - I don’t want to, I have friends there, but I do.

I spent nearly 11 early years of my professional life in and out of the UK, doing trade deals between the US and UK in the military industrial complex, from helicopter plants in the Southwest to sub bases in Scotland, and everything in-between. Formative, and fun. I loved the people, and time, I was there over 100 days a year in that period.

My last trip, a couple of years back, admittedly London versus some of the awesome small villages I got to know, just sucked, couldn’t leave fast enough.
