It's been real popular to knock Americans around these parts for a while, I've noticed, and we certainly earn our share of it. But I get the sense Europeans don't quite understand how bad things have gotten here and how truly cornered and out of options many of us feel. Folks are being squeezed past their breaking point.

Comon, it's not as bad as Russia. Except to have to pay to visit dentist. And optometrist. And surgeon, therapist and any other doctor. And separately pay for cast if you break bone. And pay for ambulance. And for anything else. Ok, maybe not better then Russia, but at least budget for healthcare was not stolen to build Putin's palace. Even if only because you don't have any budget for healthcare. Fine, America is worse than my shithole, but at least you don't have to deal with Putin and his "small victorious war".
