☹️😭

THIS! I remember a time that my dad had gotten laid off and my mum was dealing with health issues. They were simply down on their luck and filed for food stamps. Due to their Canadian pension they only qualified for $18 in food stamps a month and made too much to have health insurance, just adding to the health issues.

This! Pay everyone a living wage and do away with tips!

Oh, we Germans kinda do that, too, actually 😅

Everything in American-English too rather than British-English. things that are translated from almost any other language into American-English rather than British-English regardless of the subject matter

We’d call that indoctrination in the UK. I remember speaking with an elderly Italian man who was a child when Mussolini came to power. He told me they were forced to do similar things at school.

And lobby for laws that put more people in jail

Most Americans think they're ridiculous too tbh.

It's so much more than that. It's not that they dont want healthcare, they dont want to pay for SOMEONE ELSE'S healthcare.

Most places use chip-and-pin where they *have* to take the card at the table since you need to enter your PIN. USA credit card banks decided Americans aren't smart enough for chip-and-pin, so we just have chip and an archaic signature.

Yeah, I kinda agree with this one.

This is sad

Add "who is paying their debt while also stopping treatment because they can't continue accruing more debt"

yeah...

i know- you can literally stare someone in the face while they are going to the bathroom

How else can they keep up the illusion that they live in a country worth celebrating?

Different taxes in different states. But yeah.

Work to live, don't live to work.

we get sooo many ads too; they're literally everywhere and most of them are attack ads with questionable information

"A Full Year" ... Awww that's cute. You realize we're already talking about who might be running in 2024 right ? Is it DJT, Cruz, Hawley, Biden for a second term, Harris

This one I agree with as an American. I saw that Canada's election season was like, 6 weeks long or something, and I started drooling with envy. The amount of time and money wasted on politics here is downright obscene. I would wholeheartedly support limiting the time and $ allowed on political campaigns.

Apparently in Canada, the longest election season on record was a long and unctuous 11 weeks. Why can't Americans have that?

We get sick of them too. Three months is more than enough. In this day and age, candidates don't have to physically travel to the various states to campaign, and it's a waste of money and non-replaceable resources to do so.

Sometimes longer than a year!

It used to be because back in the day it would take so long to travel across the country to campaign. Now it is because the longer the campaign lasts the more money they can collect.

They never seem to stop.

They last 4 frecking years.

AAAAUUUUGGGG THIS IS ANNOYING they will go to ANY LEGNTH to get their canadates name in your head. even sending out these random phone calls with a robot on the other end. repeatedly. for ever.

Major tedium,suppose Obama the most amiable candidate...say, since Carter

We have election in 9 days. They started ‘campaigning’ a week ago. And our campaigning is just some talkshows about it, a debat or two, some posters in town and maybe an email.

It's probably a consequence of having no practical limits on campaign fundraising & spending.

The candidates use that time to rake in more money and get cozy with their lobby partners.

I agree with this.

More like four years.

Election campaigns start earlier. When a President gets into office, the next 4 years are all about getting re-elected. That's why no real major changes ever happen in a first term, they don't want to hurt their chances for getting re-elected.

it's disgusting the amount of money my school spends on sports, and we're not even remotely a sporty school

the meal in the picture is not an American one.

Yeah in my country, if you don't take your minimum of 5 weeks of holiday per year, it will be scheduled for you. Literally your manager will force you to relax :D.

Yeah it is pretty weird. Why not just say 9th, 10th , 11th, and 12 grade? Seems much more simple. I am going to be in high school next year and I am Indian but I live in America. I am used to saying junior, sophomore, etc. but my mom finds it really confusing. This seems so unnecessary.

I'm good with it being a weekday, but it should be a national holiday

This is a bad policy because everyone comes to work sick so they can still take vacation days.

Way too much religion everywhere and about everything.

It’s very annoying

Already noted. Pay everyone a living working wage (NOT $7.50/hr). Do away with tipping.

This, bigtime.

I live in Canada and one of my friends did a cross-country drive via the USA to take advantage of cheaper gas.

One of the primary concerns of using garbage disposals is that it puts excess strain on local wastewater treatment centers. All of the food solids in the wastewater must be filtered out. Those solids are used to create fertilizer or are sent to landfills.

the UK has limited ad amounts. theyre regulated, so you can only have 12 minutes of ads per hour. obviously in the US im guessing its not the same

I still dont understand why its played. Its a sporting event, a game, nothing more. Im a baseball fan & i can care less about it being played. I want to watch the game.

Can not disagree with that statement

yuppp they taste better for some reason just like a grilled cheese tastes better cut

But, but, but! Don't you want to know what I think?!

That's a bit vague. High schools have lessons across the world, are populated with hormonal teens across the world, have school meals across the world - there's certainly a difference in quality here, but it's not a weird American thing. So, everything else...?

one of the things i missed living 9 years abroad was this right here...i drink a lot of water. only water, but a lot of it and having to ask for refills of water and getting side-eye was something i never got used to.

I'm in the bible belt. Alcohol can be bought 24/6 here (no sales on Sunday) at Walmart but the actual pharmacy is not open at night.
