it's ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world ever but we can't even have this basic quality of life feature that so many other countries have made work. fucking israel has universal healthcare! what a pathetic empire

As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there's that.

I have lived in 5 countries and the USA is the only one that claims this we're the greatest bullshit all the time.

Every country loves itself, but the USA is psychotic about it

Not Germany.

For once.

And for the time being.

Kinda hard ti claim to be the greatest when youre stilling digging up bombs from when everyone else disagreed.

Germans are complainers by nature. But when you look at what they get up to when they think they're better than everyone else, it's probably better that way.

Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.

We're America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!

A path directly toward the cliff edge and then straight off of it into the ravine below!

You're kidding, but the arguments I have heard against better healthcare in this country boil down to pretty much this.
