I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel to Japan, Norway, Sweden, or the Netherlands

    America Light® in a lot of ways. Its so damn big that most people that don’t live in the beautiful parts of the country might live their whole lives and never see it.

    Housing is fucked, public transit is fucked, urban planning is fucked, we use migrants as cannon fodder for the minimum wage meat grinder… Man, the list goes on.

    Its certainly not the worst place in the world to live but it’s really not as good as many people think.

        Could be talking about Australia too…

        Fucked housing situation, check. Shit public transport network country wide, check. Poor urban planning basically country wide, check. Migrants for minimum wage work, definitely check

      your education system is also great at giving away money to foreigners.

      I’m American and your government paid me $50K to study there. Half of my cohort were non-Canadian too.

      At least in USA, most unis make foreign students pay a ton money to study here.
