I don't think I even got that far. I remember it being quite off almost immediately, I was already giving it a chance and it just did not get better.

I remember trying this series out in my teens, having already gone trough quite a few, and I remember it being the first book I just dropped under a half trough, but I couldn't remember why until know. I just remembered it as shallow and depressing to read.

No, it is a spin on manifest destiny. USA is built on the ideal of white supremacy, and never really came to face it, those guys europe were the only bad guys while Americans worked carefully not to give n*ggers any credit for quelling them and proceeded to treat them as subhuman after the far too.

It's just American culture going on, not an import.

And places where people insist they don't need winter tires even though snow and ice is reality every year. No one and no vehicle can drive safely in the winter with summer tires.

Evil, not stupid. I'm a humanist, I don't believe in that kind of stupidity.

Though the base pay is far from bad with the job requirement of a pulse. So it's not like the department isn't bleeding cash to make USA worse.

Eh, it works more than 80% of the time.

Can you opt to pay imaginary money for it since it is an imaginary feature?

I mean worker's rights like in most civilised countries political activity is in the list of forbidden reasons for retaliation, firing or hiring decisions, amongst race, religion, gender and such.
