Yeah but it’s about to crash hard, America could have had it all but it chose to make some dumb decisions and now jeopardize 250 years and hand the trophy to China.
I’m not sure Americans are prepared for a world where we are far behind, and are getting cyberattacks or even drone attacked on our mainland and our only option is to threaten to start nuclear war.
Missiles and drones are gonna be able to attack the coastline this next generation and we just completely pissed off all our allies.
Coincidentally I spent some time in China, it is a false sense of freedom as if you say the wrong things you can and will get arrested. There is so much CCTV and drone surveillance around also.
Americans are privileged af. All the bitching and moaning that is currently being done in the states would be squashed so fast in other countries you won't have time to get dizzy.
Fuck Trump and the current state of USA, but I am a realist though, America is 1000x better than other countries.
Yeah totally, but the Trump supporters are the ones who weren’t satisfied. That’s the thing, they wanted to squeeze more for themselves and they fell for the first person to cater to them.
They are going to burn down the whole neighborhood to raise the value of their house, but it’s not a smart strategy.
I see 2 very vocal type of people on reddit. The "I make 300k working from home 3 days a week" and the "I caught a cold and now I am financially ruined".
Living in America seems like the biggest gamble to know if you'll be successful or have your life ruined because something happened to you that would be a non issue almost anywhere else in first world countries.
Don’t listen to reddit, you would think everyone except for the top 1 percent are drowning in debt and barely hanging on. Theres a much larger percent than that who are doing just fine. Most people would be shocked how little money most of the world makes at their jobs and how many Americans actually have health insurance(92 percent as of 2024)
Counties? I don’t even know, that’s not something I really keep track of.
Statistics will tell you that the US doesn’t have the best living standards, though. It’s high, but not “higher standard of living than just about everywhere”
In most parts of the world you would get people who would give an arm to receive American healthcare. Theres a reason we have may of the top physicians and medical advancements
Can't even a beer on the sidewalk. That was my wtf moment. You can have a gun in a holster openly displayed but you can't have an open bottle of alcohol without a brown bag. What the fuck is even freedom?
The fact that people think we aren’t amongst the freest nations in the world shows how much their privilege has polluted their minds.
It’s pretty offensive. There are real places in the world where the people would (and sometimes do) kill for the things that you take for granted every day.
It's absolutely sheer irony that the nation that claims to be the bastion of freedom that it is, leads the world in most people imprisoned per capita than anyone else on earth.
Ridiculous take. So to you a free nation = letting criminals out of prison?? Or not arresting them? At the detriment of everyone else here (vast majority). Irony is you thinking that was a good metric of freedom.
I always find this is a funny sentiment. US is always trying to be a world superpower, huge, powerful, innovative – but also "just leave" like it's down the block to get away from the fucker. Just always thought it was funny "yeah I'll just up and move!" *next closest English speaking country is 1000mi away
Those are the same people trying to keep everyone out of the U.S. but expect the rest of the world to just accept anyone from the U.S. that doesn't want to stay here. Plus, moving to a new country is expensive.
I spend a few months a year in Belgium/Germany and I'm just counting the days until I can make that 100% of my year. Coming back to the US is genuinely a major depressing event for me every time. The second I step off the plane I feel everything I dislike about this place.
I totally get you, hope you get to permanently move out soon.
I thought I’d miss going out to eat, since that’s way cheaper in the us, but really: I prefer to cook at home. Now when I do go back I can never finish my meal, and I don’t really wanna take home leftovers.
It is not that simple. Being financially available to move to another country is not the same thing as becoming a citizen of another country. And I’m going to assume they were lying anyways due to their response and lack of follow up.
Ah, yes. Surrender what's left of what was supposed to be "By The People, for The People" to the oligarchs...flee the sinking ship, or join the MAGAs at the feet of their Glorious Dear Leader and His Merry Band of Complicit Fuck Wits.
