30 Years in America – Edition 2024 – Ep 222

On the 30th Anniversary of my family's arrival in the United States from Soviet Russia, I reflect on my time here.

What I see now is, in some ways, more troubling than what I found all those years…

This week, I am going to share with you two essays that I wrote a few years ago. I want you to see this country through the eyes of an immigrant. If you were born here, you have only seen prosperity, making it more likely for you to take what you have for granted. We tend to not appreciate what we have until we lose it.

  1. Hi

    Thanks for writing this!
    America is still the best country out there. Hope it won’t lose its track, this would be bad for the whole world, to say the least.
