        You ever seen a horror movie where a miserable ooze gets pulled out of a growth vat and begs for the sweet release of death? Like that, but they milk the ooze for profit.

      As a citizen in the USA, I feel like late stage capitalism is really killing us via monopolies but that small-medium sized businesses still bring hope and continue to inspire. I also appreciate that if I don’t like where I live I can try any of the other 49 states without needing to establish myself as a citizen, save for my drivers license to operate a vehicle. The cultures are vastly different depending on where you live. I’ve lived in both progressive and conservative parts of the country.

      I’m paying attention more lately to what benefits state-level legislation offers. Some states offer free tuition if you graduate from high school there which is amazing.

        It is worth noting that before Canada had a national universal healthcare system, a few provinces had one. There was an attempt to establish one in Vermont.

      The US is teetering on the edge of fascism, with bigotry appearing in more and more places every day.

      It’s actively working to reduce the diversity you’re talking about
