“The US should do X and they suck because they don’t!” Each state has it’s own laws on education. Some places suck, some do not. It’s not a monolith.
“The US has shitty beer lol” We have some of the best beer in the world but it’s local/state/region only and never exported unlike fancy Euro beer.
The US for better or worse is a, hmmm 🤔 a unity of government states under a federation called America. It’s very hard to get federal laws and bills passed, especially for education. The states want the power to chooses for themselves what they do, and the federal government hangs above them, sometimes intervening.
We are a huge country that has a relatively unique circumstance of government, population, and young brutal history. I’m a Californian and I live in the Bay Area which almost literally a different country than most of America, especially the South and Midwest.
I’m so sick of people, especially smug Europeans, talking like they know Americans and America but they don’t really know shit about us except the movies and going to NYC and Miami.
Yes I am having a bad day.
To be honest I love Europe and have friends there that I miss dearly! I’ve been many times. But dumbassery is dumbassery.
EDIT: You people are an exhausting swarm of pecking ravens and I’ve spent all the “toxic” energy I want arguing with half you because you just hear what you want to hear and fit the stereotype I loathe I think you only commented out of trained reflex and a few of you are just unsophisticated haters. Whatever, fuck you, and all that jazz.
I think I’ll do just that. Fuck the South. They can all burn and die of measles. You can’t fix in bred-in-evil of the South from California or DC. So fuck em. I hate them. Lincoln should have let them keep the fucking Confederacy so I could watch their third-world hell not suck all my tax dollars into a trailer park of despairing losers with greasy Klan hoods.
Sadly, I just need a couple states to vote blue because our idiotic electoral college system.
You seem to display a very coastal-centric ignorance, why don’t you come hang out in flyover country sometime, help us turn it blue. Afraid you might like it?
Afraid I’ll get lynched.
My worthless family is from there and they’re all a bunch of racist, ignorant, homophobic parasites that bleed the country of resources, culture, and intellect into a bucket they kick to the floor just like that area always has and always will.
The big cities might be coming around, sure but those states are burning red and can stay burnt. Anyone of interest has left or will leave to places that actually matter and anyone who stays is buying in or selling out.
It sounds like you have a lot of unresolved family trauma and are projecting those feelings onto an entire geographic region. My whole family is from rural Ohio and they’re some of the most ardent leftists I know. Believe it or not, people and societies are complex and often do not fit the stereotypes you’ve been taught. I quite like my home, even if you think it doesn’t matter.
