This is not true. America is the land of opportunity. Anyone can make their family rich with a few lucky breaks.

Some people get luckier breaks than others

Could always be better, but a living in a free republic with a lot of resources is pretty nice.

No, but Norway is.

If you don't mind giving up 45% of your hard earned money to the government, sure.

i have a question for you @Antifar

do you feel america is as divided as ever in recent times?

it's a question that i've been pondering the past few weeks with the supreme court ruling on travel ban, child detention centres, sarah sanders at red hen restaurant, waters comments about harassing the administration and general public protest/outrage

Yup, like the people who get to play basketball or football all day long and then become set for life just from playing a game. Man, I wish I was that lucky.

Eh, pretty good overall, but there's lots of reasons why we're always behind the successful European countries like Sweden and Denmark on those "best countries on earth" metrics - much higher crime rates per population than most first world countries, lower average earnings, lower education rates and healthcare provisions etc

That's just because they're small and homogeneous, but we could be doing so much better in multiple areas.

Seriously? Civil War says hello.

edited to show recency

obv it's not as divided as civil war but maybe in the past few decades. it seems like every week there's a substantial event which polarises people. but i only read about this online so i don't actual know the feeling amongst the general population
