Part of America's problem is over 50% have never left the country let alone their hometown. You don't know how diverse the world is if you never leave. The more you experience of other cultures. The better

i’m not disagreeing, but you have to have some level of perspective. 67% of americans live paycheck to paycheck. it’s not that they don’t want to travel abroad — they can’t afford to. i’m childless, don’t have pets, don’t have subscriptions, I don’t eat out, etc. and my bills are still over $2200/mo. I make more than double my state’s min wage and still can’t afford health insurance. any recreational travel that isn’t a carefully-planned day trip is out of the question

I work two jobs and still don’t have enough money to take time off from work to spend a weekend on the other side of the state let along other fees involved like gas, food and lodging. Traveling abroad is not even on my radar
