Excuses. The richest country in the world and you guys settle for the shit slop your politicians feed you. Everywhere has its problems, but the fact that the US is so mediocre is embarrassing.
You are a perfect example of the Eurotrash of which I speak. 7 words into your sentence I could tell you were that kind of person. I said 6 in the OP, but you gave it 110%, awesome!
I couldn't help but look at your post history, and I see that you're against Russia invading Ukraine. Well our same politicians that are feeding us shit slop are the same ones that are sending billions of dollars to Ukraine in aid and supplies to help Ukraine win this war.
Again the U.S. isn't perfect, but people always seem to have to find a way to make it sound like it's the worst country in the world when in reality it's not.
I've lived in a couple of different countries myself and speaking with the natives there, I would hear so many things they considered that was bad about their country and government, and how they would love to live in the U.S. I was always confused about this because I hear so much negativity about the U.S. online but in reality it seems quite the opposite.
