☹️😭

So they do not mind paying for another person's care as long as they chose whom? Again, quite insane.

It's disgusting that Americans have to beg to get medical help. A national health service is pretty much the same, removes the need for medical insurance and costs a lot less

As an American, this is pretty sad.

Im so glad that isn't an issue in tje uk

Our healthcare system is a major problem,but no one who can do something wants to do anything.

100% considering doing one for my hearing aides expenses :(

Sometimes it's all you have.

It's not acceptable . It's just what some have to resort to. Again, Americans want universal healthcare ... government practices are not necessarily endorsed by the people

Yeah I tried Go Fund Me. It's rigged. I did not get help from anyone.

How did the powers that be brainwash half the populace into believing having a national health care system is evil socialism, some things shouldn't be privatised - health care for one, prisons another

Sadly

that's really is the most sobering thing about my country. those are almost everywhere. vexingly the O.B.M. did a projection on medical cost over the next decade; today's system versus Bernie Sander's 'Medicare For All'. Bernie's program would save Americans billions. the idea that it would cover more people, save money, most likely control costs, and make the country inevitably happier and healthy is akin to showing a crucifix to a conservative vampire. they recoil and hiss at the idea of benevolence. even if saves the country money and lives‽ sure it's complex, but we are talking about putting colonies on Mars! surely getting Earl a root canal w/o out it costing him his trailer is possible? it's inhuman. lazy. selfish. destructive. it has to change.

THE GO FUND ME THING MAKES ME FEEL SO SICK INSIDE. GAH

This happens in Norway too.

Canada too.

Let's be real here. The health care system is ok. We pay about half the taxes European countries do, and people should pay for health insurance out of that, but they don't. The go fund me garbage is for dummies who don't save.

Don't question it.

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

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.

THIN MINTS

It's discrimination to only give crackers to ppl called Graham ):
