“The US should do X and they suck because they don’t!” Each state has it’s own laws on education. Some places suck, some do not. It’s not a monolith.
“The US has shitty beer lol” We have some of the best beer in the world but it’s local/state/region only and never exported unlike fancy Euro beer.
The US for better or worse is a, hmmm 🤔 a unity of government states under a federation called America. It’s very hard to get federal laws and bills passed, especially for education. The states want the power to chooses for themselves what they do, and the federal government hangs above them, sometimes intervening.
We are a huge country that has a relatively unique circumstance of government, population, and young brutal history. I’m a Californian and I live in the Bay Area which almost literally a different country than most of America, especially the South and Midwest.
I’m so sick of people, especially smug Europeans, talking like they know Americans and America but they don’t really know shit about us except the movies and going to NYC and Miami.
Yes I am having a bad day.
To be honest I love Europe and have friends there that I miss dearly! I’ve been many times. But dumbassery is dumbassery.
EDIT: You people are an exhausting swarm of pecking ravens and I’ve spent all the “toxic” energy I want arguing with half you because you just hear what you want to hear and fit the stereotype I loathe I think you only commented out of trained reflex and a few of you are just unsophisticated haters. Whatever, fuck you, and all that jazz.
Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine. And then large parts of most other states. You do realize more than 50% of America is very in line with most of western Europe… right?
In line with Western Europe?
Not even close.
Heck, even Canada isn’t even in line with Western Europe. You guys are so far right, even your most left-wing party is considered conservative in Europe. And your right-wing party are literally Nazis.
I always forget that it’s just a liberal utopia of sunshine and bunnies over there and America, and Canada apparently, are knuckle dragging fascists. Literally every single person.
Sounds like someone missed the fucking point and is doing exactly what I said makes you a smug prick.
op mentioned political parties and politicians, not the general population.
are you ok?
I think you need to open your mind and travel the world a bit. You should go visit Europe sometime.
I’ve traveled the planet likely more than you have, to all the occupied continents. My mind is open. That doesn’t make me blind to prejudice, like the prejudice you just displayed in thinking Americans don’t travel.
Hahahaha!
From an American point of view, maybe if you squint a bit. From the rest of the world that is a laughable statement.
