You can't tell me that America isn't on the decline anymore.

I would point to poverty levels, mass migration to the coasts and the lack of manufacturing here as the decline.

This thread is good

Most of the world is shyt if you are at or near the bottom.

But America has easily been much worse.

I think its fair to say there are nice places in almost every country. The question is how many can afford it? And the answer is not enough

I think its fair to say there are nice places(supply) in almost every country. The question is how many can afford it(cost)? And the answer is not enough(demand)

Seems like basic economics...

Nothing is going to change as long as these same clowns keep getting elected and reelected.

That's why I'm so at Tariq and others pushing this "don't vote" narrative.

Unpopular opinion but America is still bar none, one of the greatest countries in this world. Especially as an immigrant. Politics be damned, this is one of the few countries where you can rise from gutter to the top. #Facts.

Idk man....you got a Senator currently who was an immigrant. Bezos was raised by a single mother, Obama's father was an immigrant from Kenya. The point is, there are very few countries in the world where you can start from relatively humble beginnings and rise in society. You may not become a billionaire, but you can do well for yourself.

I say this as an immigrant myself. My boy's dad used to clean toilets while studying for his MCAT. Now he's doing well for his family.

I'm not saying the system is perfect, but it's better than a lot of places. There is still room for upward social mobility

If you wanna see a broken system, holla at me and we'll take a trip to Nigeria. People really don't realize how good it is here in the USA comparatively.

The negatives are overstated, America is still bar none the greatest country on the planet.
