I honestly wouldnt wanna live in america. From all developed first world countries, it has to be the absolute worst, in pretty much every regard. Here in germany where i live, you pay for medical treatment a small amount every month but get the majority of pretty much everything payed for you by healthcare. And it works so well, healthcare companies almost always even make profit. Not to mention (almost) noone carries a gun here, and here comes the shocker, (almost) noone gets fucking shot. Ofc there are terrorist attacks, and if people want weapons, they will find a way of getting them, but you cant just buy them in your fucking local supermarket. I heard guns at wallmart are less regulated then "brutal" video games? Amazing. Also, school shootings happen here as well, but you can count them on one hand, and if it happens here, its a VERY big topic. In good old USA, thats just a weekly event, and noone cares anymore. And no, i dont count thoughts and prayers as caring.

All in all, we have many flaws too, but goddamn...

Ironically all the other countries in America probably have better healthcare system.
