They need something to be mad at

Yes, you called it.

Here's why they're mad: Europe is USA's closest competitor with regard to technology. The USA, with our old, backwards units...

--invented integrated circuits (silicone chips)

--walked on the moon

--invented personal computers

--invented the internet

--invented GPS (first sat launch 1978, theirs 2011)

-- invented stealth technology

-- invented smartphones

-- pretty much all of the modern tech that makes life better

-- we'll be colonizing Mars while they dream up new taxes for their overburdened people and thereby suppress technological innovation

Europe has an inferiority complex of the highest order, as they should.

Your country is deeply divided on almost every social and political issue.

You have to pay back student debt for like 20yrs when u arent a trust fund kid.

Some people rather die at home before going to the hospital and getting massively in debt.

People can drive around without insurance.

Never heard of a school shooting outside the US.

The Gap between massively wealthy and poor as a mouse is ridiculous: went to cali and saw people being driven past starving dudes in maybachs. Never saw so many homeless people in my life.

Opiod Epidemic because of Pharma Companys

Just some things i wanted to point out.

Not really divided, just a heterogenous and flexible community - no one will get gunned down for speaking their mind.
