☹️😭

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.

It's an odd country. The vast majority of Americans are overworked, underpaid, and only 'get' 2 wks vacation a year. Half of those believe any change is asking for handouts. That $15 an hour is too much while $600 a mo. (individual) is manageable. It's Zombieland. They need brains.

Most the people who are against healthcare don't even understand it

That’s their choice. Because the rest of us want it. They’re totally free to eschew it, except when they pose a threat to the public health (looking at you, anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers!). The rest of us will utilize it, and follow any guidelines for maintaining public health.

Long ago aI read a lengthy rapport on cost of healthcare in diffenrent countries. USA topped. I guess, investors making loads of money on a privatized insurance based system just multiplies the costs sooo much, and makes it unavailable to so many. If they knew , how it really works here inscandinavia, they would be so bummed out.

Ok. That isn't everyone in America. There are still people who value healthcare.

Healthcare used to be very different in the U.S. before the "affordable care" act. They keep defending it, saying the one thing good that came out of it. But everything else made our entire system screwed

I don't think those people necessarily don't want healthcare, but are probably responding angrily due to feeling personally attacked by hearing negative American comments. Plus, there are stupid crazy people everywhere ... those would be our stupid crazy people

Why did my comment appear three times?

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.
