    Government can't run shit well. No surprise.

    On the flip side, the fastest growing city in India has no functional government.

    And yeah, I get it...they have no sewage! There's traffic problems! Sure, every city has problems...especially in India. And honestly, they do get the sewage out via transportation, and could form a sewage system once it's profitably.

    But how can you argue with the fact that so many people in India are eager to move there? It's obviously less of a shithole than all the cities that have a functional government in that country.

    It's the same shit with Somalia...Somalia is a shithole, sure...but it's become LESS of a shithole since the government was all but dismantled. That's what people fail to look at...

    Move to India then. Seriously. It's not just that it's a shithole. You can't drink running water, can't even brush your teeth with it. There is broken down shit everywhere. People just throw garbage on the street. I could go on for days on how shitty that place is.

    Anyone who wants the capitalist wet dream, move there. America is great because it's a mix of capitalism and government regulation. Every time the ball swings too far one way or the other, the country gets fucked up.

    I'm fine with how Canadians carry themselves.

    Here's the thing, Hyundai. Yes, that city is a bigger shithole than anywhere in America. But a country's type of government is not the biggest determinant of standard of living. Culture, work ethic, habits, problem-solving, ability to obtain resources, etc...those are the things that make up our quality of life.

    Just like how that city in India is considered a better place to live than other places in India, America would be a much better place too with a government that has a smaller or non-existent role.

    You can't drink the water in a lot of places, even in the US, like Flint.

    If they aren't selling cars, maybe they're too expensive and they should lower the price of the car or raise wages enough so the cars are more affordable

    If you like rivers that catch on fire, sewage in the water, terrible smog, no infrastructure, etc.

    Shut the fuck up. America is great right now. Seriously, what's so intrusive about the government right now that you can't live your life as you want?

    It's a shame that the Republicans nominated a big government guy.
