America is such a shithole.

Absolutely. Lost my job recently and started having to drive again and let me tell you every single driver is some form of psychotic. It’s insane.

I think they are saying they are too poor to leave, would if they could but the USA aka the imperial core is a empty vessel of lesser things and a pit of dispair. Sure we all can shit heads but it is the enviroment that fosters such deplorable behavior. It was not meant for you to take it personal. They are not talking about you so there is no reason for the verbal boomerang.

Lol. We are rich enough to leave, but doing so would subject us to a reduced standard of living. Europe seems great, but their high population density is what drove them to colonize America in the first place.

Sure. You have to be insane to get behind a wheel. I am insane for doing it.

Introspection is a gift, not a gotcha.

Especially me. I hate doing it so much. I don’t drive like a psycho but I’m certainly unwell.
