and its only going to get worse as we veto visa the best and brightest from all over the world, reverse our status as a melting pot of immigration and believe that padding blue collar american workers with the forever promise of working manual labor in manufactoring jobs because people are entitled to have the same job forever because thats how progress works ^_^
over bringing in the best and brightest while simultaneously making higher education affordable for americans and bolstering our public school system which is one of the worst in the world, the quality of which is entirely dependent on the average income of the neighborhood your parents live in.
The scariest part about having a reduced credit rating and falling into descent while having a sexist American for President is that most of the internal (I'm a United States citizen) banter I hear is the grumbling of Americans blaming our falling status on everyone else.
We have horrible schools
We are lazy on average in comparison to other higher educated European countries when it comes to educating ourselves
We supposedly hate CNN/Fox news but people watch it.
While I would not say the HN population is like this, the majority of suburban America is xenophobic even in the Northeast where people like to brag about being better than the South (I grew up in the deep South, went to college in NY and now live out West)
The north and the south are still deeply divided and it reflects the long standing habit of thought in this country is that we are deeply divided and unwilling to accept blame for our actions.
Our political system is a rock throwing party to see who is still alive and standing at the end.
We are second-tier country. I'll be impressed to see if we are one by the end of my lifetime.
The scapegoating along with the sense of entitlement so many Americans have along with the persistent ignorance and declaration that we are the best country in the world and that is a title that belongs to us forever while by every measurable metric we are not, borders along the narcissistic psychological disease of continual denial and mental evasion of the person who was voted to lead this country.
- duality 9y agoCountries like Japan and Korea rank highly in many metrics of advanced countries, yet have very restrictive immigration policies.
- usmeteora 9y agoIts true, their countries were not founded on being melting pots of immigrants. I am not denying that fact, but I am not sure how that correlation relates to the non existent correlation to America. I'm open to more explanation
- icantdrive55 9y agoAll I know is we can't let foreigners(non-citizens) buy our Realestate. I've given up arguing about the best system, but this is just wrong on so many levels, and we will sorely regret it if not stopped. Who controls the land controls us, and I don't like what I'm seeing out here. Do I want someone, some culture that literally hates Americans, especially second, third generation Americans, owing my apartment building building? Hell no. And we let it happen daily. And yes, it's about cultural differences too. (I'll get hammered for this, but it needs to be said. Everything in America should not be for sale.)
