As far as the reasons for returning. Clearice painted a good perspective. I think I’d be actively looking to go home by now if we hadn’t won the GC lottery. Wife is pregnant at the moment and I’m not looking forward to when he goes to school.

Aviation here is incredible, and that’s the only reason why we’re here. I feel very fortunate to have somewhere to run back to if needed. It’s not so outlandish to think that the economic success the US has won’t change in our lifetimes, especially when you see the kind of society it’s built upon. I definitely feel sorry for people born here into low income families.
The US is a great place to be if you are middle class or higher. I'd imagine it'd be a nightmare here if you're in the lower socio-economic brackets.
