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 ?

    I don’t think my parents or grandparents had to “grind” for the American Dream™. They could afford a house, a car, and raise a family all on one full-time job 50 years ago.

      They may have had to grind but doing so allowed then to save and achieve their goals. Many people today grind themselves to dust merely to survive.

      Working full-time isn’t a grind?

      I’m speaking as someone who supports a family of five and bought a home on one income, btw. I work hard to do it, but I do it.
