NYC has a better subway system than most Euro cities. Probably because NYC has the advantage of being old before cars became affordable. For a few decades it seemed planners all over the world really had this crazy idea that everyone would

The Netherlands has Caribbean islands off the coast of Venezuela. If the US blows up a bunch of fishermen by accident it would be awkward. You can actually sue the Dutch government for this kind of thing and win.

When Escobar was shot did people run out of cocaine? Americans just want to blow shit up and kill people- preferably with million dollar missiles.

What propaganda is TikTok pushing? Besides if your country is strong enough you should be able to shrug it off. France recently put the right to abortion in the Constitution despite American media.

People have different ideas about life. If you can get a 9-5 job that pays the bills why join the military and be deployed overseas for months on end not being a part of your family? The civilian sector has the same problem with truck drive
