No. Don’t stop complaining. It’s what got us here. Most improvements begin with someone complaining about the status quo.
Thoughts and Prayers 🙏❤
As a person who lives in the USA it’s honestly pretty comfy, besides wholly embarrassing fairly frequently.
I don’t know how joking you are, I hear this in the wild from Aussies a couple of times a month.
About Americans or Australians?
It’s usually: well, we may be a neoliberal state with the resulting capitalist issues but let’s be thankful we’re not living in the US.
For example, most recently I heard this in a conversation about growing wealth disparity.
We wouldnt say it if it wasnt true. America really is the worlds greatest third world country.
Americans became Americans because we had someplace to run to. Then we turn around and say “nope, your problems are your own.”
Man shut the fuck up, the US is still richer, more developed and better to live in than most countries. Just be happy with that.
American forgetting about the whole of Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and some of south America.
The US is a better place to live than most of S America, huge parts of Asia, and half of Europe.
Just look at the migration numbers, people voting with their feet.
Gotta agree with you bud. America certainly should change for the better, but this post is some privelaged ass shit. All these people downvoting should talk to someone who escaped cuba or who has friends and family who died on the west bank last month.
escaped cuba
Never ask a gusano what they “escaped” from
richer
Concentrated in the hands of very few. Over half of the population has negative wealth.
more developed
I’ll give you that one, though not everyone sees any benefit of it.
better to live in
Again, far from everyone. There’s areas with barely a dirt road and no access to clean water, there’s neighborhoods that look like 1990s Sarajevo right next to ultra-rich neighborhoods and women and minorities are discriminated against and abused more than most other Western countries.
Just be happy with that.
No.
Bro just be happy being a wage slave. It’s easy. We all need to do our part for the shareholders.
No.
Woah imagine living in third world country , north korea , or a war torn county . Spoiled brats always acting like they got it worse not saying the usa doesn’t suck or anything but it isn’t at all the worst place not by a long shot
It’s the other side of american exceptionalism - one they realise they are not the best, they start believing they are at least the worst.
I live in a third world country and I have a crappy stressful job but unlike an american, my garbage wage can afford me an apartment to rent, pay the bills, eat well and save something or use it for entertainment. Unlike the American situation, since they can’t afford to pay their mortgages, student loans, credit card debts, predatory corporations, insane house costs, disgustingly expensive medical bills and other bullshit living expenses. The American dream is dead and, crime and murder rates aside, third world countries allow people to have a less miserable life, in case you were not aware of how bad the situation was there.
I don’t have any of those problems in the USA. It’s all good in my neighborhood.
