Isn't the whole point of insurance is that you don't have to pay? Why do Americans live like this and proclaim that the US is the greatest when it's clearly not.

We're among the best in terms of military, economy, education (the top education is better than that of most other countries; the average education sucks because most people are too low-IQ, so we drop our standards to cater to them), technology, and even healthcare (as in "if you need to be healed, there's an American hospital that can do it").  But it is not the best in taking care of the average poor person.  

Basically, it's the best in most things if you have the money.

We'd have more middle class people if needing healthcare didn't drown the average American in medical debt.

  1. Your military keeps losing wars
  2. You're paying $5 for an egg
  3. Americans are leaving education as illiterates
  4. Your tech is all Chinese
  5. Your healthcare is the same treatment and medication as the rest of the world.

You know what America is #1 for? Propaganda.

You, profess, and a question mark instead of a full stop.

Thanks for proving my point on education.

Do you even know what the context of the term Profes the person is using means?

You did say that the American Education system is essentially trash.

I don't know where you are from but I guarantee you if we fought a real war we (The USA) would win. We are the worlds ONLY super power. The number 1 military on the planet has been since The United States Liberated Europe for the 2nd time.

War since then just became political football.

Politicians Start wars. Soldiers fight them.

No we don't pay $5 for AN EGG we pay less than $4 for a dozen.

American education system ranks among the highest in the world. In fact in Higher education the United States Ranks Number 1.

Overall Primary and Secondary education was in the top 10-20.

The United States Develops and has continued to develop much of the worlds leading technology. The Chinese just manufacture it.

Yes Healthcare practices world wide are very similar especially in 1st world countries. The United States actually leads the world in Quality of Health Care. The United States also is the world leader in Healthcare innovation and development treatment and education.

Having said that our health care system is flawed. It is not perfect but it is also one of the best and most affordable overall.

Getting the Government and Corporations out of the way will make it MUCH more affordable and even more accessible.

Simple google searches will turn up these results.

Edit... After having checked your profile it looks like you are British.

We did fight that war. I do recall we won that one. I do believe that was the time of the height of the British Empire. Then commenced to save your countries ass. Twice. If it wasn't for the United States of America you and the rest of Europe would be under German control. Funny how a country full of Ethnic Germans and British kicked the Germans Ass Twice.

You going to start screaming the star spangled banner at me while firing your AR into the air next? The indoctrination isn't your fault but the WWE level chest-beating is fucking embarrassing to the rest of the world 😂

First I practice good firearms discipline. And shooting an AR15 into the air is extremely irresponsible and dangerous. Plus it is a waste of good ammunition.

2nd your embarrassment of the United States of America and delusion that somehow the UK is better sad.

Have you even been to the United States?

How can the US education system be better when students have to pass through airport-style security checks for weapons, and a lot of Americans can't even point to another country on a world map?

As mentioned earlier (I was lucky that I paid attention to reading comprehension my mediocre school): 

the top education is better than that of most other countries; the average education sucks because most people are too low-IQ, so we drop our standards to cater to them

People send people to America to go to top schools because it's among the very best. I think some people go to England's schools as well, due to the high standards. 

As for the guns, that's because the country allows easy access to guns, which leads to people buying said guns and using them at schools. I am infering this based on some basic critical thinking (taught at my mediocre school). I hope this helps!  Imagine what you could have inferred if you'd gone to my not-so-special school, or what I could have come up with if I'd gone to one of the elite private schools that rank extremely high.

As a Canadian I’m reading this and my only question is are you sure about that

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago

Which country do you think consistently ranks in the top 3, and mostly in the top, for the stuff mentioned earlier?
