Would be fine if not for high medical costs and gun violemce every other day
I was never there so don’t know how it is actually there but judging by recent movies and series woke culture is way too forced upon everyone without any meaningful reason. Maybe it’s just me but the more someone tells me what I must like the less I like it 🙂
Nice to visit on a vacation or a business trip. But otherwise, living in Europe is better IMHO.
Have started appreciating them more, since the russian invasion in Ukraine. Seeing how weak the european “superpowers” turned out to be, it is nice to know that someone like the USA has our back.
An occupant state same as Russia. Tho happy that we are in the same alliance as them. Rather be on the good side of one of the occupant states than be alone. With that said – the place is shithole in my eyes, especially with the rise of “woke” culture. Lots of propaganda and mental conditioning, hard to find decent free media sources. Tho, the legality of guns is amazing – one can arm himself and be ready to defend his views and stances if need arises.
As a teenager I wanted to live there. As an adult I wish I never have to go there. Although ruzzia is being the aggressor now, it doesn’t erase the inhumane past of US. From torture and invasions of foreign countries to human rights violations on it’s own backyard. Why is US police militarised? It’s insane to think about. Why is healthcare privatised? Why do you have to save money your whole life for education? Why critics and “whistleblowers” of US government are sought to prosecute almost like some personal vendetta? Why do you glorify, apologize and pardon from taxes your bunch of sociopathical billionaires and their companies?
Yearly 100% off blm sales
Woke shithole with outrageous medical service costs, constant violence and massive income disparity.
Living in USA was something of dream in 90s, but currently I would never trade Latvia for US.
Ukrainian conflict proved that 🇺🇸 is our only true ally.
I would be super excited to visit US but I never want to live there. My negative feelings about how the things are run are based on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Vox . But then again no country is perfect. And it is easier to see a splinter in others eye, but not to see a log in your own eye. Still I feel way better and safer where I am.
Very cool but not for me, also did some bad shit a lot of weird politics going on
One of the best countries to ever exist.
I’m Latvian, living in US since 2009. Both US and LV have their pros and cons, and are raging dumpster fires for different reasons. I’m very concerned for US future, but also EU is not rose garden.
Also, US is very diverse. Those who say that they wouldn’t want to live in US – please be more specific. If you have a decent job and lube in good locale it can be very nice. Depends on what you’re looking for
As a half Latvian person living in the United States, I can confirm that a lot of the stereotypes are true, but the reasons for things are just as often misunderstood. We would basically be similar to much of Europe if not for religious fundamentalism.
The weirder aspects of our culture can be traced back to the early parts of the Vietnam war. That was roughly when a broader alliance formed between the various evangelical groups. They were the ones who promoted the notion of the military as being predominantly “good Christian boys”.
The problem of course is that this wasn’t really true. Our country committed all kinds of atrocities in Vietnam and elsewhere. But this kind of unholy alliance between evangelicals, the military and the Republican party created the mess that we’re in now, and it created room for a person like Donald Trump to step in and spread delusional thinking among what before seemed like mostly normal people.
Fortunately, the deadlock we’ve been in for probably 15-20 years, is pretty close to breaking. People are moving around because of housing prices and it’s making conservative strongholds increasingly shaky. All it will really take is one larger state (such as Texas) going reliably democrat and we’ll likely be rushing ahead to fix the country and join the modern world. Right now we have legislative deadlock which prevents this.
I’m glad though that we’re allies with Latvia. I hope we can both prosper together.
… and prayers.
“For”? Or “of”?
Country itself is very beautiful, adventurous, but the government and people is what fucks this country up the most.
As empires go, it’s the least shitty. Cheers to your military industrial complex.
