How are we the best country again?

It's a lie that Americans have been telling themselves for a few centuries.

I don’t think we were ever literally the best country, those tend to be the nordics. I believe (and I guess I should do some research) that “the greatest country on earth” was a marketing slogan. Like the local coffee shop that says they have the best coffee in the country or something. It was a very successful marketing campaign considering it’s still being believed and discussed.

Cuz the TV has been saying so our entire lives. Duh!!!

capitalist america needed workforce -> tell everyone in the whole world that america is the best place in the world so people move there

Yes

When I used GoFundMe a few weeks ago, paying them was optional. It's possible they were lying but they made it seem like I could pay them as little as I wanted and if I chose 0, all my money would go to the person/org I'm trying to support. I think they defaulted it to 5% but allowed me to choose 0. I honestly think supporting gofundme isn't a bad idea (they build and maintain software and infrastructure to make donations easy) but in that case I wanted the recipient to get it all.

I used to drive by these two houses in a rural neighborhood which had huge “trump” signs in their front lawns for years.
Both houses recently replaced those signs with “for sale” signs.

I had to laugh.

Most of the southeast in the US is in an early housing market collapse. New homes cost less than used inventory, which is a horrible sign. Inventory and time on market are also creeping up.

Supposedly the real estate market is the worst it's been since 1995. I guess if you are on the buying side, it might be ok. Not sure if recent/upcoming rate cuts will start showing up in mortgage rates...

I'm not driving between neighborhoods much, but I do see for sale signs here and there. What I notice a lot more, however, are tons of for lease signs in front of business real estate.

Yes but they are still priced super high. Like everyone realized they could make money by selling their house then Trump wrecked the economy and now no one wants to buy. And, no one wants to lower the price of their home. We’re lucky if they aren’t getting bought up by giant corporations.

On my daily commute, I would normally pass 2 or 3 cars for sale parked out in people's front yards. Last I counted, that number was 12. More if I were to include other things suddenly for sale, like boats, bikes, and golf carts.

Don't blame the voters. They're idiots who are struggling to make ends meet. Blame the people in power who manipulate vulnerable people into doing bad things. The solution to our problem is NOT more citizens without rights.

Likely situations where a person will be okay this month so they send another $20 or so and maybe a few months down the line, they are the one that needs a bit of help.

It's like the proverb, "it takes a village", only commoditized.

This is the skit i thought of when i saw the headline.

Tumblr CEO is a good pick-me-up after 😅

I was curious, so I looked him up. Apparently, he is estimated at $50 million. That's way more than enough to retire, but i will say I was kind of shocked at how low it was. Guess I just expect to see these people in the hundreds. Who knows, it is just an estimate.
