You should consider taking your own advice about propaganda. My health insurance is cheap, six dollars a pay period, with a capped out of pocket expense. Not sure what that is off the top of my head, but not “bankrupting”.

The only gunshots I’ve heard in my life are ones I’ve fired myself.

The home that I bought two years ago is on par with the rent I was paying five years ago.

My five year college education was 35k with most of that offset by grants.

Your healthcare and education aren’t free. It’s subsidized by taxes that you pay. Which is fine, I think American taxes are much too low (for everybody). However, you have to look at what your government skips out on funding, name a military, seeing as the only thing standing between Ukraine and Russia is the massive amount of arms flowing in from the US.

When I say free, I obviously meant "at no extra cost". So doesn't matter if you are working, if you are a foreigner or any other situation - you need help, you receive it. No questions asked, no worries about the cost - people come together and everybody chip in.

Regarding the gun violence, USA is a big country. I know that thefts and rape are an issue in the area I stay - I never experienced it first handedly though. It doesn't mean it's not an existing problem.

But, not to drag this forever, it seems we both happy in the places we live in. Both have their good and bad sides, so let's just agree to disagree :D
