Almost every developed country except ours has universal healthcare. Almost every developed country except ours has some form of free college. How is it possible that Americans have been trained to expect so little?

Capitalism takes hold and makes every facet of life monetized and a race to the bottom as costs rise.

And almost everyone comes here for state of the art treatment… Why do you think that is? Now, I’m not saying there aren’t big holes and issues, but let’s be real it’s far from awful.

Constant propaganda from birth. Corporations and the 1% own all major media outlets, and the majority of all politicians serving in Congress. Their lobbyists even write most of the laws voted on.

We were trained to chart our own course with the freedom to choose what we want and not rely on government to push their agenda on us.
