      It’s so ridiculous when other countries do things that really put the “America #1” to shame.

      Because then we go, “Well ackshaully we can’t do that because…” BS excuse and jerking off major corporations.

        I hate the “we can’t do it” excuse more than anything. If the richest country on earth can’t do it, how the fuck are other countries doing it?

          It’s almost like we’re conditioned to think that lowering costs is the only thing worth doing. Anything that enhances human existence of the people who aren’t rich and buying whatever they want is seen as wasteful indulgence.

          I’m an American who occasionally travels to Sweden, for example. There are so many little differences in basic every day things that really add up. (Not that any country is perfection, of course)
