Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

      The immigrants who come here stick around and spend 15 years to become citizens, if it was that bad, they’d turn around and go home.

      I think many of “the immigrants” actually do.

      and we were also first in line for things like the COVID vaccine, because the companies could make so much of their profits here…

      We were first in line because the US government paid billions to fund the R&D to get the vaccine out. Then when manufacturing started in limited supply it went to the highest bidder first, which again was the US. We paid for it twice . I think that kind of thing should not be patented, we the people paid for the research and development, and the pharma companies got all the profits. If other companies and countries were allowed to manufacture the vaccines, we would have squashed COVID much faster.
