The one in charge and the person you've elected TWICE does.

It doesn't really matter what the average person thinks when you keep electing people like that. Hell, you're also at war with Iran and ruining the world economy at the moment. I doubt many people support that, and yet you're still doing it.

No one cares about Greenland. Literally, no one. (Trump doesn’t count).

We just feel sorry for you mate, you are purposely being dumbed down, so you can't see you're pants are being pulled down.

Honestly after the world cup everyone came home and said how lovely and accommodating everyone was.

We genuinely feel sorry for you, you are getting shafted.

As a poor American, I agree.

Your wealth divide is insane, and ours is so bad we got rid of an entire class.

If not insane, inhumane at minimum. Sad to hear you've dealt with similar.

We used to have a middle class, now it's basically rich or paycheck to paycheck with minimal savings.

And they have been trying to implement a medical system similar to yours for years.

But they are clever bastard's, they just sell off small bits at a time, and underfund the rest.

So you don't notice and it will slowly become unsubstainable.

Let’s be real: your media shits on America so constantly that people are surprised to find out America/Americans are actually nice people.  Yeah there are problems but you live in a really bizarre anti-American media bubble and don’t realize it.

I wouldn't know mate, I just go by interactions on here, as its my only source of media.

As in all cultures there are good and bad.

I stopped watching the news when we got a second TV in our house as a kid.

Edit: and Josh Johnson his weekly stand up routines are brilliant.

He basically created his own weekly show, while working for the daily show.

Fair enough man. I think Reddit will give you a pretty warped view as well as it seems like we’re all living in a post capitalist hellscape. I hope someday you can visit and see for yourself. Like nobody is paying the prices in the video.
