Ask HN: Why do you love the USA?

We’re surrounded by much negativity and criticism of the USA. Admittedly, some of that criticism is valid. Whether you live here in the US or not, what are some things that you are proud of or admire about the US, it’s culture, history, attributes, or people?

For example, I’m not sure the source, but I read or heard a neat tribute once to one of the US pilgrims’/founders’ valuable legacies - the entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to continually improve - something that has motivated me and (I’d guess) lots of people on HN.
