    Yeaaah, that's not really the US, sorry to disappoint.

    Sure, basic kindergarten to 12th grade education is free, but the quality of the education ranges wildly by socioeconomic status. That's not to mention that higher education has become so saturated to the point that even if someone graduates college then they're still stuck with thousands of dollars in debt and can still only find work at an unlivable minimum wage job. Free resources also sounds dramatically far-fetched. Our educational system is archaic and set for a market that doesn't exist anymore. Our healthcare system is a wreck, with politicians continuously trying to limit the resources for people of low incomes who could wrack up thousands, sometimes even millions in hospital bills. The US has the highest debt of any nation, the total being about 30 trillion USD. And about the government giving a damn about you, well.... There's some truth to that. If you're a rich white guy, yeah. If you're anyone else? Not so fucking much. Police constantly beat or kill black men, women, and even children, but people simply brush it off and nothing is done to change the system no matter how many protests and deaths. Kids shoot schools, and yet nothing is done because the NRA keeps funding political candidates to tell the public it's about mental health and not the readily available access to firearms. But of course when they demonize people with mental illness, they slash funding for resources, and criminalize people who desperately try to cope with drugs because there is no other accessible help.

    America is a shitshow. Maybe not the worse shitshow out there, but we sure as hell aren't any Cirque Du Soleil.

    If you think all poverty is at fault of the individual you've got a warped view of reality.

    A lot of people are mentally ill, and don't function well in a work environment.
