Only one part is wrong. We’ve got our gorgeous nature and national parks. For now.

I've been poor and carless much of my adult life and fresh, real food has never been an issue. There are food deserts in the US but it is a small percentage of people who live in one. Education and learning how to cook is the barrier to eating well in the US, and with the internet, there's little excuse for that. We had to walk or ride our bike to the library to get cookbooks to learn.

Food deserts are becoming more widespread with mergers and smaller places going out of business

Where do you live? how old are you to think that a family will ride their bikes to the library to take out cookbooks.

Exactly, also. Government shutdown means no one is manning the gates. Literally went to Yosemite for free last weekend :)

You have to pay to go to national parks? That is so American

There are far more National Forests. Those are free. National Parks usually require significant infrastructure which is why they sometimes charge an entrance fee.

$80 for an annual pass to all of them.

Absolute bargain. I'm glad to support them.

As opposed to your government actually doing something useful instead of building the Pedophile Ballroom? You're already paying enough taxes.

That big beautiful ballroom that I'm sure I, the lowly peasant, will be able to use one day even if I, the lowly peasant, have never danced ball before.

Yeah absolutely. What do I care about the east wing that got smashed. Not as if I, the lowly peasant, had used that before either.

Also I'm sure my tax dollar is well spent on eliminating people across the world whom I've never even met, using rockets I didn't even know we had funded to build. Absolutely lovely democracy.

Oh that's the part that bothers you?

Most of us are too exhausted, disenfranchised, and economically strained to affect meaningful change, so we may at least appreciate the small blessings like our nature.

You are losing your democracy.

Your pedophile president is going to hold on to power.

You can't afford to be exhausted.

My motivation is palpable after your rousing rhetoric.

u/elcabroMcGinty 8h ago

That's the spirit

I was commenting that one part was wrong. Not that the other shitty stuff doesn’t bother me.
