Oh America, come on:

  • end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

  • change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

  • take religion out of the money.

  • and since I'm at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

Thanks. I would love you so much more.

Lost me at guns, everything else I agree with.

I got kinda lost w/the religion and money bullet. It’s a bit abstract. Is that about churches escaping taxation?

[-] UnicornKitty@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

No. In God we trust is on all our money for some stupid reason.

Ah, I had to zoom in to see “in trump we trust”. How disgusting.. that gives a bit more perspective.

It's cold war era propaganda, it's not even that old. There was a belief at the time among certain circles that since the USSR outlawed organized religion that the US needed to embrace organized religion even harder and to drive that point home we should put "In god we trust" on all our money. A lot of the US's current issues can be traced back to cold war propaganda surprisingly. Boomers have been stewing in that garbage their entire lives and it rotted their brains to the point where you can reduce them to frothing incoherent rage by just saying "socialism" around them.

For a country that has such a mix of people, seems pretty stupid regardless the reason.
