There are worse places to live.

Don't get me wrong, there are loads of better places to live, but there are definitely worse places.

America makes great animated series. It makes great movies sometimes too. Admittedly both of these things are usually actually made overseas, but you guys write them.

You also have a nice flag. Although you do kind of ruin it by being super weird about them.

You have really cheap petrol / gas. That's definitely something you beat most of the world at. I think that's the winner - cheap gas.

    I appreciate your earnestness. But speaking as an American artist, your country absolutely has the same caliber of talent and creativity. It just doesn't have the Hollywood dollar attached to it. I don't even know where you live. I can say that with my whole chest because creative expression is an inherent part of being a human being. You can't suppress it, control it, or sell it for long without it rebelling against its constraints. Or shouting itself from the literal rooftops.

    I think that's the most valuable thing in the world. You should look into locally produced art and cinema. I guarantee you your local arts college has an independent film festival.
