I often think how lucky I was to be born in America and not some shithole country, which most of them on Earth are. Thank God I'm an American!

5. Olympics. US has finished 1st in total medals for every olympics for the last 32 years. They have finished 1st in total gold every time for last 32 years except 2008 at China olympics.

This one seemed off so I put it in the Googs.

This should be SUMMER. Many other countries have finished first in overall medal count during the Winter in the last 32 years.

So we're already great?


In many ways, of course.

But we can still be greater.

For example.... Closing the f**king border was kind of a big step in that general direction.....

As an American who lives in a developing country, the ease of opening an LLC/business is lowkey one of underrated benefits.


I can't remember if it's Taiwan or Hong Kong, but you can go in the same day to fill out the application and start your business. They want as many businesses open as possible.

In the case of the US, military spending does not equal military superiority.


But it does. Despite the flaws many like to focus on, we are by far the most dominant military.

In general we have it so great here, that many spend half their waking time focusing on the negative. I guess they have nothing better to do that focus on negative things on the internet. A lot of the world’s people have to focus on trying to survive day to day.

The Winter Olympics was made up so the rest of the world could win some medals because we dominate in all the real sports.

United States is the only place where the people hate it, but refuse to leave.

I agree, but actually for none of the reasons you listed really. The US is an incredible country because of the freedoms and liberties we still enjoy, and need to safeguard like life depends upon them, because it does, and politicians don’t safeguard them, we do. Politicians are the threat to them. Freedom of speech, religion, the press, etc, are critical to us enjoying that which really makes a difference in people’s lives, quality of life. That really doesn’t come with wealth, accolades, and accomplishments. It comes with values that can easily disappear in very short order if we aren’t careful and go the path of Europe. Ask them how valuable they are.

You can have all of the wealth, power, and influence you can stand, and live in an oppressive pile of dung, and it doesn’t mean a thing. You’re just king of a giant pile of poo.

We the people are $38T in debt, but nobody ever looks at the other side of the balance sheet at the amount of wealth, land, untapped resources and infrastructure that we the people own, not to mention our own capitalistic resolve.
