Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

    My first set of kids got a great K-12 education here, in stark contrast to what I experienced. But sadly, one is still in high school and the state is attacking freedom of speech, teachers are leaving, the classes are getting dumbed down.

    I did go from cashier to good office job but pell grant covered my college. Bright Futures is covering my kids college. No, we don’t do a great job of supporting kids through school, it took effort. There are still union trade jobs that pay well too though, even here.

    Medical system I make no apology for. It’s awful.
