OK well seriously, the USA is a leader in science, health care, all the good music is from there, and I've only met well educated and intelligent people that call it home. Its fun to take the piss but to be honest I can't wait to visit.
You need to come to flint some time. Or take a trip to Detroit. Buffalo. Pittsburgh. Philly. Saginaw. Atlanta. Jacksonville. Tampa. Orlando. Yes even mickeys doorstep is covered in crackheads.
Inbetween religious/rich zombies and people who fail at life yes there is a small medium of great folks that are trying to hold on. Everyday our minority of creatives and hard workers gets smaller and smaller tho I'm afraid.
America has hope but that's only if it decides to give some scholarships to its own kids and build our own generation of intelligent people. America has entire graduate classes in major university's being attended by only foreigners here on student visa. Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing but its made it about impossible to get into some schools for Joe smith from Nebraska unless he's a wizz kid. Alot of kids don't even go to school because they see an entire generation in its early to mid twenties right now severely in debt from school and they can't get a job flipping burgers.
If we ever finally wrangle in the banking industry even just a little it will open alot more doors. But i doubt that's gonna happen. America 2020 needs alot of uneducated workers too. By then we should be on the upswing of a new technology bubble. That's the next big wave to ride. Power grids built into roads. New fiber optic Internet cable. New water and gas infrastructure.
Can't get people to go ride a ditch witch all day unless they got alot of red print in there books. Debt is the jail cell we all work from.
...... Kk I'm done... Anyone else wanna use the soap box? Lol
