[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are some of you so triggered by someone questioning the direction their country is going in? I have dual citizenship in an EU country, and people there openly criticize their government and want to see certain things improve. I have never once heard anyone tell them to leave if they don't like it. Shouldn't we all strive to make the country we live in a better place? [/quote]

There are many things to improve here.  But OP didn't say that when she returns, she sees things to improve (as well as things to appreciate), she said she wants to leave permanently for somewhere, anywhere, else.

Fine.  Then go.  We'll be here, working on the improvements, while she takes the money she has earned here and enjoys it somewhere else.  [/quote]

How exactly do you improve things in the U.S. when corporations own the govt?  Citizens United, hello?

Look at Boeing.  They killed hundreds of people due to manufacturing quality control issues.  Many insiders blew whistles.  And yet they continue to operate and now a door blew out.  Just yet another example of how corporations run the U.S. govt, no one ever goes to jail for corporate crimes, and nothing changes.

You think the U.S. will ever improve their infrastructure, healthcare, and gun violence when the automobile lobby, insurance lobby, and gun lobby run the govt?  lol, what a lost cause. [/quote]

Totally agree. People don’t realize the havoc the citizens united decision caused in this country. This country is run solely by corporations now and politicians don’t care about domestic issues. It’s all about corporate interests and profits because that is what funds their campaigns. I think even in 2008 when Obama won there was some hope for this country but ever since that dreadful scotus decision, things have been going downhill with absolutely no signs of improving. Everything is a mess and the people are suffering. The rich keep getting richer and the middle class is getting crushed. Our children truly have no future in this country especially our girls.
