    Because our country is ran by oligarchs. Money is god here and if you don’t worship the almighty dollar you’re probably gonna have a bad time.

        Take a look at your police force and healthcare and say that again.

        At least your oligarchs have some empathy. Over here they’ll kill you for $5.

          Well they just refuse to invest. Take the examples you gave:

          • We have healthcare, but there is a hospital in which obese patients cannot go on one of the floors because it will collapse.
          • The police are well meaning but we cannot fit criminals in prison and have to release them early.
