In contrast, every time I travel extensively outside the US, I wonder what the fuck we’re even doing with our unfathomable wealth. Crumbling infrastructure, horrendous healthcare, mass homelessness and human misery, all while our oligarchs sit atop their piles of gold and tell us to work harder.
Pretty much everywhere in Europe has better public transit than the US. It's actually embarrassing.
Putting up a GoFundMe for healthcare expenses seems like a uniquely American phenomenon.
And there's simply no equivalent of something like skid row or the tenderloin in any major European city. We let our neediest simply... fall through the cracks. Then step over them on the way to work.
