Now I live in a 3 story town house on the edge if the Chicago suburbs. Do not even lock my doors. Car doors never get locked. Do not worry about guns, schools have a police officer but that is it. But that is because we are cracking down on bullying hard. And the political system matters little. Anyone who is elected is going to try something shady. Congress will piss and moan and everyone will piss and moan until something that resembles what it was originally will be voted through. Every system is the same. There is always some who are in it for the greed and power and because of that it will always be tainted. Schools are what ever you put into them. Public schools included. Nothing is as bad as the internet says it is. I have been middle class, poor, and extremely poverty stricken. Never rich yet or upper class. None of those class tiers were ever horrible though. To be honest, unless you are on drugs, which even that has programs, I do not understand how anyone is homeless or hungry in America. There are plenty of jobs, just not any that anyone wants to do. Seriously. Every business I drive past seems to have a help wanted in the Windows and not just minimum wage. Anyways, rant about America over. I guess I always thought you were from America. My bad.

Yeah that is the problem, nothing you understand is really changing. Happening in the background. Rich are obtaining more and more of our nation's total wealth. Will have another 2008 economic crash sooner than later. Simply not enough money being circulated in the economy. Makes its way top, and tends to slow down there. Meanwhile more and more people are relying on government welfare to live as the prices of living continues to rise and the war on wages continues.
Our country is a pile of shit right now. At least Colorado and cities like Seattle are taking things into their own hands and actually becoming progressive. Quality of life is going up and their economies are booming in many areas. Very attractive places to move to.
Oh and you need to realize you will go over 50 grand in debt to get a degree that pays well. And degrees are pretty much required as most places won't care about your talents without that piece of paper.
Buy yeah, welcome to America. its an okay place.
