I always say America must have an excellent PR team to project that image across the world. It's not all bad, it really isn't. Like almost anywhere, Americans are generally good. You have to spend time here to see the complexity that is the real America.
I recently read that in 2019 over 60% of US adults took oxycontin. If that number's true it's telling of a few things...first, the big pharma's infiltration of our government/medical system but also how many people are trying to "escape" the pain of their day-to-day existence.
The stories of how you all came together to help restore order over there was inspiring! Somehow people need to learn how to see through the bullshit our leaders are spewing. I'm not sure what it's going to take.
