If you don't tip, the waiter literally paid for your meal. You're stealing. It's very fucked up to not tip. Employees will spit in or step on your food if you're known not to tip.

We are not developing towards a dictatorship. We have an electoral college. Our presidents have always been decided for us, and our vote for presidency is and always has been merely performative.

I know you probably think you're joking by calling us a third world country, you think you're being cute. There are places in the US which are more impoverished than in India, for example West Virginia and Mississippi. I know this because I have heard this comment from Indian doctors who come to the US, both in person and in filmed interviews.

for example West Virginia and Mississippi.

I know this because I've driven through rural Georgia. It's like going back in time.

It's so crazy to me that Europeans and other foreigners buy into propaganda intended for Americans and then get mad at a total fantasy. The America they think they know does not exist. Edit: This is especially annoying when they try to tell us "vote your way out of it," holy fuck

America is huge, some of that fantasy exists, it's just very expensive.

No, it does not exist at all in any context for anyone who is "actually" American and bound to the land. The ultra wealthy are stateless, they can and do live overseas part-time or full-time even if they have American citizenship.
