Poor Americans are forced using their cars (on credit) to stand in a food line for hours and the crazy thing is they actually believe they live in the best country in the world.

It's not a bad place, if you have the money.

Depends on the state. It used to be a fairly unified country, with a relatively unified set of laws but in the past 20 years it's become highly balkinized. Fortunately you can choose where to live: If you're a weird loner then you can live out on the prairie in South Dakota. If you like art and culture then NY is your place. If you want to be reminded that everything will cause you cancer then by all means move to CA.

The big problem is people are being shielded from the consequences of their decisions. Thus if you live in a state where stupidity is prized don't expect help when you're sick with Covid. If you live in a state where jackboot thugs tell you exactly how much you have to do to keep your car running cleanly every year, don't expect other states to follow your lead.

Weird, but it's possible to find a place to suit your tastes.
