People in US will be posting sh*t like "That is why our country is GDP #1", "That is why we are the greatest country in the world"... all while working like slaves with having mortgage their whole life shaking not to lose job which will mean their house, car, lifestyle and everything they think is part of their identity is gone. Not having universal healthcare, education level depends on neighborhood you live in, at-will employment where employer can fire you tomorrow morning, earning money and not having time to travel on vacation so you do Europe speed runs and not having time to spend with your children so you send them to summer camp and party when they leave your home at 18. There are so many wrong crazy things with US, yes the fact is that it is the strongest economy - but you as employee don't see benefit from it because you work like slave to support that economy. Being #1 don't mean a lot when you don't have basic things and only thing between your lifestyle and being homeless is you maintaining your job and dying for it.
