    Because our country is ran by oligarchs. Money is god here and if you don’t worship the almighty dollar you’re probably gonna have a bad time.

        Some of your oligarchs were taught what happens when the serfs revolt, and don’t want beheading to become the national past time again

          true. Doesn’t excuse the fact that some families have estates literally traceable over 900 years back. And any protest we muster wil be stopped by the rain nowdays.

        Take a look at your police force and healthcare and say that again.

        At least your oligarchs have some empathy. Over here they’ll kill you for $5.

          Well they just refuse to invest. Take the examples you gave:

          • We have healthcare, but there is a hospital in which obese patients cannot go on one of the floors because it will collapse.
          • The police are well meaning but we cannot fit criminals in prison and have to release them early.
