They led us to believe that never ending competition would lead us to the top. It mostly just makes us miserable. Like a work cult.

As Capitalism has increased, the more damage it has done to our society.
Early on it was workable, now it is just ridden with atrocities.

Great idea, lets shut down all the small town Mom & Pop stores and restaurants, and create more food deserts in rural areas. They can just all just move to the city and work in an Amazon warehouse.
Or maybe higher incomes and more money circulating in rural communities will actually help support those rural stores and restaurants better than they currently are.

Ridiculous healthcare costs are the result of for-profit enterprise. Practically every avenue of American life is seen through the lens of profit and expenses, just numbers.

Ambulance costs are insane. Emergency room costs are insane. Surgery is insane. Childbirth costs are insane. Drugs are insane. What is the point if you are bankrupted by using it? It makes them money. Hooray
So what is an acceptable profit percentage? How much of your doctor bill is to pay the doctors income tax bill? How much of your private insurance is used to subsidize the US government since the US government does not pay the true cost of the medical procedures?

If that's how it worked then why mess around with $15/hr? Let's make minimum wage $1,000 per hour. Then we'd really see those rural communities flourish.

I have been reading your comments. Very sad. You have no idea what you are talking about. It would be best if you just left our great country if you hate it so much. I hope you find another country that will make you happy.

We've been brainwashed into believing that leaving America is some great apostacy. America is nothing special anymore. The cold war did numbers on the America psyche

You certainly do sound miserable
I'm having a good day.
Protestant work ethic is a racket.

In a way it's liberating to realize modern capitalistic society is one big cult

I don’t think it’s gaslighting to say that people looking for their first jobs during times of economic crisis are unlucky. Can that bad luck be overcome? Of course. But it’s obviously better to look for a job when good jobs are plentiful and previous generations clearly walked into an overall better economic situation than they set up for millennials.

I don’t know what y’all are seeing in Nebraska, but I know where I’m at you can’t pay people enough to go get a job... I’m seeing plenty of openings all around and plenty of businesses offering signing bonuses as well, the issue that I see right now is that most people are sitting back collecting the unemployment checks and not wanting to work... there are plenty of jobs out there for the taking and plenty of good ones at that, like 6 figures good ones, but the hand out culture would rather sit and do nothing while collecting unemployment 🤷🏻‍♂️

America is special! People with your mindset are the problem!

China: The government owns the corporations
USA: The corporations own the government
So in the end, where is the difference?


I like how everyone’s been brainwashed while you post videos from the same exact source over and over.

A research tip: if it doesn’t make you money or make you happy, it’s a waste of time.

You’ve been on quite a jag the last couple days. Good for you. Let it all out. Daddy can’t hurt you anymore.

The biggest problem with being in a cult is that you don't think you are in one.
Learning does make me happy.

I’m positive leaving The Bad Place will not be at all disappointing in the end. Your offspring will be satisfied with what they have, never wanting for more, always thinking of others.

Ride your wife’s coattails into the kiwi sunset. We’re all rooting for you!

You have nothing.
The American mindset is a parasite.

You are too far gone to understand the opportunities that this great country offers you. I came from nothing and built a great business that has blessed my family as well as many others. It took hard work and success principles that you were never thought. It is my prayer that someday you will understand the opportunities this great country offers you. It is not worth the time to reason with you so I am gone from this discussion. Now stay off my lawn and go ruin another country.

There is nothing more privileged in all of humanity than being born on third base and wanting a pinch runner to score for you.

The fact you hit the birth lotto in the US allows you to dream your dream of leaving it, thanks to (your wife’s) education, cash on hand and an American social security number.

America is one big plantation. Glad you enjoy it

What does American society excel at?
Innovation.

Our fingerprints are all over the entire world. There’s no escaping. Rats of all colors and creeds love consumerism, and it knows no border.

Everybody wants more. Wants a leg up on the next guy. Most, like you, shroud their wants in a noble quest. In the end, it’s all the same human urge to prosper, regardless of unit of measurement (money, happiness, etc).

Consumerism is the problem. We value the dumbest things.
We were the leaders in innovation because of the rest of the world was bombed after WW2 and we stole all the smart people.
Asia leads the nation in innovation now.
Patent laws in the US stifle innovation and can be downright dangerous when it comes to medical essentials.

Consumerism exists in every corner of the world.

Will be interested to see your report on Asian vs American innovation ubiquity in your new land.

Well, since literally everything else is easily duplicated, it’s pretty unique.

There are lots of studies theorizing why, though no one single agreed upon thesis. Most point to our culture, poisonous as it may be.

Perhaps the next rabbit hole you wander down?
