Anyone Else Fed Up With America?

[wesxo]

This country is so pitiful, with all of the resources we have at our disposal, the people who live here are still extremely pitiful. America is only 240 years of age, and for the amount of time that has already passed, we've garnered an enormous amount of progress already and that's something to be proud of, but our accomplishments have been lukewarm at best.

40% of American citizens are obese, the food we eat here is so shit, if you tried taking an Reece's cup out of an adults mouth, they'll react like a rabid dog who hasn't seen a meal in days. We all collectively walk around, sucking on our favorite teeth rotting drink, while listening to our favorite podcaster blab confidently about his Ill-informed political view, while his small sector of an audience calls him a genius.

It's rare to meet anyone who actually cares or is concerned about life really at all, no one can have a decent thought to save their lives, no one is serious or has any valuable thoughts at all, when you become a serious individual and you treat life with the proper respect, this experience just becomes alienating honestly, and maybe that's the wrong word to use, the aliens who live in outer space have more sophistication then us.

And maybe all of this is a bit harsh, considering we're just apes trying to locate the nearest restroom, so we can shit out whatever inappropriate version of slop we consumed that day, either way it doesn't make any of this more respectable.

Agreed! Although I am Canadian, living in Toronto, its the samething here! 

What bothers me the most  is two fold.. 1st we have more systems set up to make things better for ppl, we can actually feed and house everyone with basic comforts but we don't, due to greed!

2nd is the People, although I understand maybe why they are this way, survival needs come first for sure, but the selfishness I witness daily is painful to witness, its everywhere, as soon as I leave my place it starts up, selfish drivers, selfish behaviours rule, and it doesn't have to be this way, in this context its not about Survival but about 'What I want, in disregard of others needs!", this really gets Me, and its everywhere!

We can do better, but we don't!

It's funny isn't it, government really does sucks collectively, although i can admit none of these issues have simple fixes, government is so far off the axis. it'll take them a century to begin trying fix these things. Let them argue their primordial worldview until then.

Yes but we may not have that much time to fix it, you can tell a politician straight to his face that the world is coming to an end, and he/she will think of what it will take to get re-elected again, its that bad!!

[Hardkill]

Yeah, I am, and I also fear how much worse it will get for our country over the next several years.

The biggest waste is probably California. The 4th or 5th largest economy in the world, unlimited resources, best talent, best weather on the planet for Southern California. Yet somehow unlivable

This is because the US is stage Orange.   All that matters is money.  AlL THAT matters is money.   Even for the Presicent of the US. You had a billionaire come in who cares about nothing but his own wealth and power.  In his case maybe it's no longer about dollars and cents but it's about power.  And wealth is power. So if it gets Americans fat, dead or otherwise- so long as it makes the wealthy wealthier then long live the USA.  This is stage orange.

No I still think America is the bastion of innovation on earth. They are AI world leaders and will be still one of the most relevant players in the 2030s. Name other countries that are as well rounded and impactful globally.

@Ishanga And what are you doing yourself to better the city of Toronto and our country of Canada? It's easy to complain and be negative without actually being productive towards solving our collective problems.
