USA thinks their the greatest country, but they just propaganda themselves, can't even get a Dr to see you if your dying. It's the largest consumer, work market. Just work to survive. Shit country.

It's like other countries actually want their citizens to live like humans. So eye-opening!

Spend a month in southern Europe more so in Croatia or where you have true European roots and USA feels like a dystopian corporate McDonald’s

Just look at which country gets the least vacation time per year. Are you really that free if you have to work 48 to 50 weeks a year to live. If the working class in the USA ever woke up changes can be made.

Well, and the reason the marketing scam works is because America is on the ass end of the planet isolated from the rest of humanity by two enormous oceans.

If travelled across the USA via Greyhound bus and car. The great bits are great, the rest is a hellhole. Families living under motorway bridges in Georgia a particular lowlight.

When I was in Thailand recently, I met a guy from NYC and he told me that living in the US feels like you're working your arse off for not very much money and getting fleeced at almost every opportunity. His rent alone for a tiny one bedroom apartment was USD $4000 a month. 🫤
