The key word as I said above is GOOD friend a good friend is someone you would talk to on the phone or go fishing with or go out to eat with and most importantly go drinking with I can have Democrats as a friend and say hi to or waive to passing by but I wouldn’t pal around with one and I certainly wouldn’t go drinking with one we would end up killing each other

A woman across the street from me whom I use to go drinking with openly told me she voted for Biden because she didn’t like trumps hair and of course I voiced my opinion I told her that she had no business voting then if she was going to vote sheerly on some ones looks

Bella, you live the American dream as interrupted by many of us. YOU took the opportunity's offered to you to improve yourself and your life and paid your way thru life. Write a book and try to help these younger people understand that if you want something in life go out and work for it and not be sitting around with your hand out.

So you don't see much problems with my points actually.

However you think not getting killed for just looking suspicious, fair justice and fair elections are a Utopia? Almost any other civilized country has that pretty much covered.

With fresh air and clean water I off course mean that you don't get poised by breathing air and drinking water. And I'm not saying we have that under control here. Our water is great, but our air can be pretty bad. Not China levels, but living near the Tata steelfactory is very unhealthy. People their have way too much toxins in their blood. At least the government is forcing the factory to improve their processes and will prosecute them if they wait any longer.

There are almost no areas in the world where you are safe for all natural disasters. People cannot all choose to live in those safe areas. If you want your country not to be disrupted by every natural disaster, the government needs to protect people. I hope you know insurance doesn't cover most of the natural disasters. I don't know how you think about climate change, but have you at least noticed the increase of natural disasters? In the US you have record breaking heat, simultaneously with 100 year floods, becoming 10 year floods, becoming yearly floods. Your government will have to do something to help or eventually
so many people will be in trouble, that your economy will just collapse.

Do you now see that my proposals are just the basics for a modern civilization? You do understand the US has to compete with Europe, China, India and Russia. The US is falling behind and just military force cannot make you keep up.
Your billionaires will not help you either. They have their escape plans.

Still no explanation on how living in a well organized society makes me a pet.

Bella, I don’t believe you are typical. The average worker changes jobs every 3 to 4 years. You got health insurance and so do millions upon millions have it too. Most companies, especially large companies pay a major chunk of the cost. Nevertheless health insurance is expensive. Many employers let you take more days according to your longevity in the company. I had it and I could accumulate it somewhat. I had so much, I had to take forced vacations. If you worked for 37 years with one company then I’m assuming you’ve only been worked for one employer. They obviously liked you and your r work, but, you think they would have been loyal to you? If they had to let you go, do you think they wouldn’t? You took an entry level position and endured all the crap thrown your way until your retirement. Most of us like to try new challenges and better pay or position.

I will explain more in-depth later, but the main thing is not allowing businesses to exploit people for their labor. Then they can also pay more taxes, so the government can actually pay for things. Don't think governments spending is a waste, all of that money brings jobs and it goes back into the economy. And even after all that spending, our debt is still way lower than yours.
