Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

American Dream isn’t dead. I’m grinding for mine. It’s just definitely harder now.
I don’t think my parents or grandparents had to “grind” for the American Dream™. They could afford a house, a car, and raise a family all on one full-time job 50 years ago.
They may have had to grind but doing so allowed then to save and achieve their goals. Many people today grind themselves to dust merely to survive.
A lot of people don’t see what their parents had to deal with, because by the time we are old enough to notice those things, they have already had a chance to work their way upward. Not to say that certain things might not have been easier back then, because in some ways it certainly was. But I hear about how my grandparents worked in a factory or joined the military because it was their only option at the time, and then I hear about how my great grandmother had 8 children to take care of as a single parent, and she walked miles to get to work in her factory job. Things have always been difficult depending on circumstances.
Working full-time isn’t a grind?
I’m speaking as someone who supports a family of five and bought a home on one income, btw. I work hard to do it, but I do it.
I don’t think the “American Dream” ever really existed.
It’s synonymous with exploitation from what I’ve seen. I don’t live there but the news is unavoidable here.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people here (and all over the world) who grind their asses off through multiple jobs while sacrificing their entire life, and still don’t earn enough to lead a decent life or own anything.
