Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Found the person thinking like 5 weeks of holidays and access to MRI is some sort of flex outside of the US.
About that, how many weeks of holidays do you actually have, like how many did you take say 2023? Paid vacation ofc.
Dude, I'm ON YOUR SIDE. Don't attack me because I'm trying to explain why we're not burning down the capital building.
I WANT there to be big improvements, and yes, I just got back from a trip to Europe and actually sat down and talked to locals over there.
I personally have very good vacation time, comparable to Europe, that I use.
I personally have very good health care, probably better than many areas of Europe. I have used it. I understand the limitations of the various systems and for me, personally, it wouldn't be an advantage to move to most other countries.
There are MANY MANY people in the US that are in my same situation. But I also believe that even one person that doesn't have the same access that I do is one too many, and the US system isn't built to support them.
Me moving to another country will NOT improve my situation, but it will hinder my ability to push for change for the other 300 million.
I'm not OP but I have FTO. Unlimited vacation time. And I'll have taken about 8 weeks of vacation by end of this year. Living and working in the US currently.
