One of the things that honestly gets boring is this style of comment (typically European in origin but not always!). It does not constructively start any type discussion and just becomes a cheap shots style of argument.
Every country and culture has its own pros/cons. I always think of the classic examples, Europe lacks a lot of innovation in business and that’s partly attributed to lack of free movement of labor (high layoff cost). Now we could argue to the end of time if that is good or bad and it’s quite too simple minded to point fingers. Every entity has its pro/con.
- gibspaulding 5mo agoI admit the comment you’re responding to was low effort, but I don’t think the existence of cons in one’s own culture invalidates criticizing cons to some other culture. Problems don’t go away if everyone ignores them. Also “every culture has pros/cons” may be true, but it’s absolutely not true that the ratio of pros/cons is the same for every culture.
- infecto 5mo agoI don’t think you should ignore them but two jets that collide at an air show has very little to do with the state of healthcare in America. As an American I completely dislike the state of the healthcare system but I also get tired of the cheap shot comments like this.
- much-to-learn 5mo agoI think they absolutely are more connected than you think. So many problems in our current society are because everything is treated as being in its own vacuum. As an American, I’m tired of comments like yours. I’m not sure you understand what a cheap shot is. America isn’t on the ground while others are standing over them, kicking them. If anything, America is acting as if its limbs are all completely different organisms. The arm shooting the leg is certainly the leg’s problem, not the arm’s. /s if you can’t hear anything negative about America without making a fuss, maybe you should listen to the feedback and fix it?
- mmustapic 5mo agoIt's not a cheap shot at all. OP is asking why the government is using tax payer money to finance air shows instead of healthcare, regardless of free markets and business regulations. In fact, there could be less air shows (and thus less aircraft losses) and lower taxes.
