Sure, but the grandparent's comment is.
- Dylan16807 10y agoDoesn't matter. Saying you left the US to avoid a certain attitude that is not special to the US is nonsense and insulting to the group as a whole. It would be different if mabbo was specifically trying to avoid that single person, but that's not the case.
- mabbo 10y agoI left the US for many reasons, but one of them was that the "fuck you, got mine" attitude permeates US culture, and as a result becomes law. Not all Americans feel that way, but enough do that the idea of a single-payer health-care system is unthinkable. The idea of a person earning anything more than market-rate wages leads people to protest against the notion, to get angry about a livable minimum wage. It's not special to the US, certainly. But America is where such attitudes are considered normal.
