I love how the U.S. spent like 90 years building up soft power around the world and we are giving it all up in like a 3 month span.
Every person in charge of an agency, is literally not qualified to run a grocery store let alone the agencies they run.
Its alll about loyalty now, and its going to send the U.S. back into the dark age.
We were already a 3rd world country in comparison to most of our allies. Now we are speedrunning becoming a 7th world country
That's dumb, leave the U.S. sometime. Despite the problems in the U.S., we are still one of the richest countries on the planet. I went to a plant in Mexico for work a few years ago, and there were people living in sheds with no running water, entire neighborhoods of that. Outside of homeless people, even our poorest people have it better than a lot of other countries.
comparing US to mexico was not the point. Mexico city is beautiful and modern however, comparable to new york city in my book.
Japan is much nicer than the USA in almost every aspect. I really enjoyed traveling around Japan. I spent most of my time in third world countries, and still found a lot of aspects comparable. You know most of the world has nicer airports than us?
