Not a shocker as America is stuck in the old days with absolutely zero balance.... Everything has to be a fight and the media is out of control.
You have idiots that want to welcome illegal immigrants and refugees with open arms, but don't have a plan to support these people without taking away from the people who were born here or who went through the process of legally obtaining citizenship to live here. Illegals and refugees take away from the people who live here while providing little to nothing in return for their citizenship.
You have a failed healthcare system. A "free" country shouldn't have a healthcare mandate of $700 or 2% of your income if you don't want to take 50% of your pay and devote it towards a healthcare premium that won't cover anything until you've reached your $5,000 deductible. If you need to fine people who aren't willing to pay for unaffordable healthcare to make the system work, you're doing it wrong. The idea of a free market is that if you don't want to pay for something, you shouldn't have to... But if you don't want to pay for something, you won't receive that service. Everyone should be offered low-cost catastrophic insurance to prevent bankruptcies and to cover those who happen to have a sudden medical emergency, like in New York State.
You have an bunch of corporations that give 0-4 weeks a year of vacation, many don't give vacations, and usually you're at 4 weeks when you've been at the same company for 20 years. Meanwhile, folks in Australia and other countries can take a couple of months off at a time so they can travel and live a life, even if they've been with the company for only a year. Great lifestyle we have here... Oh wait, we don't have a lifestyle here unless you're on welfare or rich. In order to be the best country, you need to have the best lifestyle, we aren't allowed to live and relax here. Oh, and people on welfare are able to take more sick days a year than the working person... Let that sink in.
We have a media that degrades people with every article, tries to influence elections (has party bias), and has absolutely zero responsibility to tell the facts or the truth which pisses many people off, adding to the stress of the American lifestyle.
We have a screwed up college education system. My college education was considered "affordable," at $780 per class. And while it's great that I'm learning English, Math, Spanish, etc, those classes just jack up the cost of college even though I won't need them for my job.... Again, why American colleges are complete bull shit that also fold to the millennials who want "safe spaces" now, instead of sharing different opinions with one another.
America will just keep it's downward spiral going... With the way our society is today, we're not going in the upward direction any time soon.
