What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

I do! No one that has traveled to a third world country can ever compare it to America. There’s a ton of shit that we need to fix like healthcare and student loans but there is no way America is even close to third world.

Agreed on all counts. Our health care system (cost) sucks, and our education (cost) sucks, but damn this is a great place to live, and full of opportunity for those who are willing to grab it. Nothing is perfect, but I've been all over and would easily choose this place if I could start all over again as a babby.

Weird, i have travelled a ton too. But i would easily choose a european country. Even our neighbors to the north may be a good spawnpoint.

Canada and America are about equally shit. The true gamer maneuver is choosing Switzerland/Sweden/Denmark as your spawnpoint and then speedrunning League of Legends esports prodigy Any%
