It’s one funeral home. The US certainly has its problem, but you should relax a bit.
This is the only nursing home with piles of corpses isn't quite the argument in favour of your country not being a shit hole you think it is.
Just ignore the rampant school shootings, the racially motivated violence of police against citizens not breaking any laws and the wannabe autocratic dictator who incited a mob to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power that your justice system seems terrified of holding accountable.
If we ignore all of these "just one thing" issues then everything is fine.
Funeral home. People tend to come already dead in there.
"'Ere! He says he's not dead!"
"Well now he's dead, you whacked him on the head"
Nursing home ≠ funeral home
Is your mind a shithole or is this just a semantics mistake?
Legitimate error on my part. Congrats on living in the greatest country in the world.
I agree that the older American generations had this whole thing where they said the US is the greatest country in the world, but as an American millenial, I certainly don't feel that way. And I haven't met too many Americans in my generation or younger that genuinely feel that way (granted, maybe this is cause I don't have any MAGA friends). Those of us that don't follow the train wreck that is Trump are very aware of our country's deep flaws and corruptions, and like virtually every other country that has corruption, there's little the people can do. I vote, and I encourage others to vote, but not a whole lot I can do about the rich driving this country into the ground.
I can tell you just naturally dislike Americans and think we're all the same, but maybe consider the fact that none of us can control where we were born, and many of us don't have the luxury of just moving out of the country. So please don't assume that living in the country you were born and raised in automatically means that you are ok with the decisions our overlords are making for us.
Go touch grass.
Go volunteer for campaigns you care about instead of complaining online. Much more productive.
I generally volunteer during the weekend while I am not working.
You are absolutely correct about the productivity. Alas, the point of my post wasn't to be productive.
Fair enough! Lol many of the hours of my life aren't aimed at being productive!
I do too. I'm up to a thousand now.
Don't you get sick of yourself?
Now why I would I go and do something like that?
