and its not just lobbying french farmers, all the farmers in europe are revolting because they are idiots, voting and screaming for a more free market but if they get a more free market they want money from the state. the EU needs to kill those subsidy, they are just helping bad farms to survive. food could be much cheaper if we had a real market. 4 kilo potatoes for 1,50€ and a liter of milk for 60 cent? that could be much lower if they stop the lifesupport for small, bad managed farms.
and for the dope, did u ever hear about coffeeshops?
but i dont wanna be so mean, if they figure out healthcare and get the crime rate down, CA is a good place to live... |
Coffee shops in Amsterdam selling pot that you can't leave the store with is nowhere near as close to what's going on in the USA.
100% agree on the agriculture situation.
As for crime rates, many parts of the USA are extremely safe to live, safer than most of Europe. As a whole nation, the USA's violent crime rate is lower than the UK's. If we take one of the safest states, New Hampshire, you'll find that on just about every metric, its crime rate is lower than any country in Europe.
USA's crime rates are driven up ridiculously high thanks to some extremely bad cities and also border violence. For a typical American living in the suburbs, USA is as safe as anywhere else.
Healthcare, yeah, is a fuck up. Primarily fucked up because of the oligarchal political system of the USA, which brings us back around to the thread topic.
As an FYI, I'm not an American, nor do I live in the USA. I was born and raised in the UK, and I emigrated to Hong Kong. I am currently on vacation in New York, however. :)
