It is hard and shocking to hear people say “I Love America” or “America is the best country on earth” or “America is the land of opportunity”. People that make these kinds of statements now days are just plain stupid, out of touch, mentally ill, and/or part of the problem. These statements use to be true, but no more. America is a fucked up place — it is a “third” world country.
Go visit any large metropolitan hospital’s ER and see big waiting rooms, patients in the hall, and the filth everywhere. Go to unemployment offices. Go to downtown in any major city. See the homelessness. Drug abuse. Racism. Hostility. Make no mistake, America is a fucked up disgusting place. There is no empathy. Instead, there is corruption, greed, evilness, war, torture, low wages, joblessness, compromised justice, ever growing gap between rich and poor, and crazies who think this is a great place.
It is amusing to hear people all worried about terrorism — terrorists might do this or that. The truth is that a substantial terrorist attack might actually help America get back on the right track. It would be like those very few days after 911 when there was a moment of unity. Everybody rallied around. It is certainly clear that there is no getting back on the right track the way things are going right now. Everything is just getting worse and will continue to get much worse.
Consider this. There are not enough jobs for everybody who needs one. Fine. Create a few million infrastructure jobs — good idea. Yet, this is not going to employ everybody who needs a job. Technology is displacing people at a much faster rate than every before. Go into an auto plant and see how few people are actually needed — btw, robots aren’t people. Go to a supermarket and check yourself out. Use the ATM and remember when you use to have to interact with a employed person. Call customer service for any company and talk to a computer or, if you insist, a person who works in another country. Go to Walmart and buy something virtually guaranteed to have been made in China.
Truth is. I would happily leave America. I just can’t figure out how. If anybody knows how to immigrate to a country that cares about people, let me know. America has no good future — just lots of pain.
America is doomed.
