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

    That’s interesting to me, as I’d always assumed that if you were poor in the US you were kinda screwed. I’m in Scotland where it’s basically impossible to be homeless unless you choose it, and if you’re sick you’ll get treated by the NHS. It still sucks to be poor here.

      Social services differ drastically from state to state. It’s possible to be happy and poor in a state run by the democrats. Probably not in a state run by republicans.

      Honestly I don’t know why people call this a country when basic shit isn’t the same anywhere.
