And still Americans get all defensive when people from other countries boycott the USA and say "we're not coming back until you fix your shit".

Really? You've run into people like that? Only people I can think of like that would be Magats.

Edit: Hell, as an American I encourage you to do exactly that. Hurt our economy, don't visit until we get shit sorted. It's dangerous to come so please stay home and stay safe. As much as I would love more of you to come see the good things here, the bad is so bad, you shouldn't risk it.

Way ahead of you, neighbour.

And I hope you guys can recover from the decades of shit that has allowed the last 18 months of shit to happen.

You've got a massive job ahead of you.

Yeah, I'm already tired. Feels like I've aged twice as many years as I should have some days. But I keep protesting and voting and hoping that I don't have to risk my life for this to get corrected. Every day draws closer to that possibility though.
