Why We Should Be Thankful
I smile at the reaction to America videos these tourists show on YT. "You can drive for eleven hours....through one state!!!!" is a common phrase they say. Americans take that for granted. Yea, it's a long trip, but we do get to see scenery along our journey. The Brits seem to marvel at traveling long distances in a car. Hopefully they will get to stay for our July 4 celebrations. Then maybe that will wake them up to want the same freedoms we have. I sure do hope so.
The post lists multiple features of daily American life surprising World Cup visitors from abroad. It notes 24-hour gyms offering free weights classes saunas and smoothie bars. It describes Walmart and Target supercenters the size of city blocks selling kayaks fresh sushi prom dresses ammunition and birthday cakes in one stop. Roadside diners serve pies biscuits and gravy with bottomless coffee and jukeboxes. College football Saturdays feature entire towns in team colors 100000 fans and large tailgates. National forests and state parks allow easy drive-in access with no passport or fees for most. Pharmacies display entire walls of vitamins snacks and over-the-counter items alongside mini groceries. Stores dedicate end caps to hot sauces BBQ rubs and seasonings. Public libraries provide free Wi-Fi 3D printers seed libraries and story time without membership. Drive-thru options cover ATMs coffee pharmacies and liquor in some states. Strangers routinely smile hold doors and greet others. Portions are large enough that one plate could feed a European family for days with leftovers. The post concludes America is not perfect yet the conveniences scale and casual abundance stand out during this global showcase.

Let’s be sure to let them enjoy it while they are here but don’t encourage them to move here. We don’t need more immigrants of any kind for a while till we remove all the illegal ones
And legal ones. H1-B’s need to go and East Indian fraudsters need to be dumped back in their shit hole country.
The only people who should be let in are the South African farmers.
You cant buy aspirin in sweden,its prescription only.....
Probably a lot of other things as well. idk
Not exactly so. Regular aspirin is over-the-counter as here. For some odd reason, the low dose aspirin for cardiovascular purposes is prescription only. If you wanted to self-prescribe, you could just buy regular aspirin and cut the tablets.
My uncle told my mother to bring regular aspirin,last time she visited sweden. He said it was prescription only. Maybe its just expensive,as I can buy 500 for just a couple dollers. Or maybe they changed it. IDK maybe it got lost in translation,as my mother learned Swedish 70+ years ago. She doesn't know a lot of modern Swedish words.i can almost understand her when she talks Swedish as she uses a lot of English words.....
I don’t give a fuck what the “world” thinks of us.
Enjoy your little soccer game and fuck off back home.
They must have missed the libraries filled with "homeless."
