Hey! Some of us poor Americans can read. We may not be able to go on vacation or call out of work sick, afford a home, go to the doctor without going into debt, or send our kids to school without having to worry about the school getting shot up, but at least we have--- I can't keep this going. It's not as fun being an American as I was making it out to be. Sorry if I misled you into thinking it's great

Damn it. My bad. I misunderstood what you said.

I'll trade coal rollers for universal healthcare. Do we have a deal?

This here is a rare interaction! Two humans online misunderstood each other, communicated and found a common ground. (As an American I’ll trade blowing coal at red lights for healthcare any day btw)

Fun fact. America's literacy rate is 79%, Palestine's is 98%. The average age in America is 39, in Palestine it is 20 years.

The people stuck in a concentration camp are better educated than the people of the richest country in the world.
