In other countries it might mean different
But here in American
We call it the American Dream
Where people can live freely and do as they please or if so you can work just like the rest of us in the real world
As capitalism is truly dying
And as per usual
Bills is just expensive than ever
And no Gen Z’s not wanting a family (Including myself even tho i never wanted a family to begin with anyways)
So right now
Are we screwed?
Are we cooked?
Is life just overall the hardest it has ever been?
Idk for me the american dream is opportunity
You would know this till you live in America for so long
In America, you can learn how to become a mechanic, and if you learn how to be a mechanic and have experience, you will become a certified mechanic. Not all countries have this option....
Its land of the opportunity yeah
Thing is tho
We mostly trade ourselves for school (college) in exchange for getting ourselves in debt till we get old and wrinkly af when we become debt free
Doesnt really feel like the American Dream if you ask me
Yeah... i mean i don't have that problem my country literally pays for everything like if you are a college student you go for free and we have free healthcare they will take care of you and do surgeries for free and it's illegal to be poor here bc the country will literally give you a house and a monthly salary if you are homeless....
Country pays you for everything
Is ur country Socialism over there?
And if you die and you were in the army a street will be named after you and your family will have a monthly salary if they were alone...
People shouldn’t really suffer in the streets tbh
If so
Thats their faults to be where they at
Sharia law
Yup that's why the country gives you a house and a monthly salary
Is that technically a good thing for y’all though? Or it isnt fully the caze?
And if you are rich you have to pay some amount of your money that will go to homeless or poor ppl
I see
If only billionaires can lowkey give a fair share
Its absurd amt of money for one person
Well yeah for me that's a good thing bc it's better than seeing homeless ppl in the streets
And we do exactly that
Idk much abt ur country but if theyre doing a very good job and treating their people good then good fucking job to yall man
Well i live in saudi arabia you could search how safe the country is and how clean it is pretty much one of the safest countries in the world and i grantee you won't see one homeless person in the streets or someone protesting bc of how bad the gov is bc the gov actually cares about it's ppl oh and i forgot to say free education for all...
Thats awesome to hear i just wish america was like that but its just so much wrong with this dumb country
I hope so too i heard so many americans complaining i just hope it will be better for you guys
yeah its been like this for awhile now its just the people working in the office the higher authority that is still taking over in the oval house and the congress, senate etc like everything is just fucked
Damn.... i hope this unfairness will go away one day...
Just cost of living and taxes really
Places like Miami and Dallas has no state tax but nearly everything cost more and upping the pay is going to help much
Gas, AI, Groceries, Healthcare, Debt, Housing, the list goes on and on
taxes been shit for awhile now
