What’s it like in your country??

I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel …

America is great if you are rich, but even our rich people are very unhappy.

America is great if you are rich,

Every country is great if you are rich, though. Also, I’m very poor, live in the US, and I’m pretty darn happy.

That’s interesting to me, as I’d always assumed that if you were poor in the US you were kinda screwed. I’m in Scotland where it’s basically impossible to be homeless unless you choose it, and if you’re sick you’ll get treated by the NHS. It still sucks to be poor here.

Social services differ drastically from state to state. It’s possible to be happy and poor in a state run by the democrats. Probably not in a state run by republicans.

Honestly I don’t know why people call this a country when basic shit isn’t the same anywhere.

Depends on the state. I grew up in republican states (tho I’m not republican) and I never had money. And I’m happy and fine.

I’d be happier and finer with more money tho! But that’s true anywhere in the world.
