Perhaps out of hate as usual. Canada aside, so you want to tell me you prefer Mexico to the US?

Rubbish.

In the cities, downtown business district, of course, it would look new, and shinny and elegant.

Get to the smaller towns, the middle income arreas, then you'll understand what people mean.
See this one. The exact opposite. Why do people always say what they don't know? The suburbs and small towns are the best

Visiting a country is a different kettle of fish than living within the system. When you live in there and start to compete with the locals for resources, that’s when you can give a useful opinion.
But there is something about US though. It is just different from the rest of the world

It’s a dream country for a JJC who has consumed so much of Hollywood movies!
Stop making a f**l of yourself. These are people who have watched all Hollywood movies only to find out that experiencing the country first hand, the country is BETTER than movies portray!

America is Paradise!


California has the highest total population of homeless people and the highest raw number of fentanyl-related overdose deaths in the country. West Virginia has the highest per capita rate of fentanyl overdose deaths nationally, while New York and Hawaii rank highest for homelessness on a per-capita basis.The intersection of these two crises highlights a severe public health and housing emergency across the United States

.Fentanyl Use and OverdoseSynthetic opioids, primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl, drive the majority of fatal overdoses nationwide.Highest Per Capita Rate: West Virginia consistently leads the nation in fentanyl overdose deaths per 100,000 residents, a crisis compounded by economic challenges and rural healthcare barriers.Highest Total Deaths: California and Florida report the highest absolute number of fentanyl fatalities due to their massive populations.Urban Impact:

Cities like Baltimore in Maryland experience disproportionately high per-capita fentanyl death rates compared to other major metropolitan areas.HomelessnessHomelessness is driven heavily by systemic and economic issues such as a lack of affordable housing, and is closely associated with elevated rates of substance use disorders.Largest Population:

California has the highest overall homeless population, accounting for nearly 30% of all unhoused individuals in the United States. Major urban hubs like Los Angeles and San Francisco carry a massive concentration of these individuals.Highest Rates Per Capita: New York and Hawaii post the highest rates of homelessness relative to their total state populations, largely due to high costs of living.The Intersecting CrisisStudies show that homelessness and fatal drug overdoses are heavily intertwined. The unhoused population is at a significantly elevated risk for opioid-related fatalities.

On platforms like Reddit's r/MapPorn, users discuss how high-cost coastal states with more robust social services and shelter systems (like Oregon and Washington) often attract unhoused populations, which further exposes these individuals to the illicit drug market and polysubstance use (such as mixing fentanyl and methamphetamine).What Is Homelessness in America?

I’ve lived and worked there for years, so nothing about America is really new to me. I’ve also lived in other countries as well, hence my comment is coming from a broad experience.

The truth is always clearer than the headlines. Millions of visitors are discovering firsthand what makes America exceptional, its diversity, opportunity, innovation, and the warmth of its people. Real experiences speak louder than media narratives, and for many, the United States remains one of the greatest countries in the world to live, work, and pursue dreams.
Don't mention its racist past not allowed LOL

They've realized that they were being fed propaganda by left wing media houses that are annoyed that Trump is in power grin.....those guys are so bitter and would readily spread lies that would put their country in bad light if their candidate isn't in power....and na those kind media houses full Europe. grin grin grin .
Are the statements and policies from Trump propaganda?? We have heard him talk all these race talk and taking back America. Are you saying all the travel ban from certain countries are lies? Have you seen President Trumps standing and notice very few or no blacks at all in his cabinets/advisers?

The truth is that it is the past president that made America very diverse and great. Trump is trying very hard to reverse that trend. There is no left wing media anything, Trump is the one selling the new negative image with his utterances and policies

Go and check their comments under posts about Trump and the government and see the bitterness and negative image they're always displayingb from his firs tenure till now.......no one is a saint but the way they exaggerate the situation is obvious for all to see except those who are like them. grin .

The headline is actually confusing, America is flaunted as one of the most advanced nations on earth if anything, they would have been surprised it is not not what they expect except maybe this post is just to sell America.
I think it's about been rugged, notoriety, indecency, disorderly, rough and dangerous, drugs, gun blazing from nowhere, broad day light robbery, comotions here and there etc
Re: FIFA World Cup Fans Discover They've Been Lied To About The USA by Blazebond(m): 11:32am On Jun 23
That "diversity" is what the masters are looking to decrease now.
