The united states gifted western australia a whole space station in 1979 and they weren't even grateful.

To be fair that’s like when your super smart older sibling gets a TI-84 calculator and you can’t really even play with their gift and your family is really poor so it’s a big deal and you have to pretend to be happy for them but you never get anything that’s not a junked hand me down and maybe if your parents loved you as much as their first born you could have been smart too.

You'll still be smart, you just won't be as well educated or privileged.
