Ya everything I've personally seen in and read about America really makes it seem like a third world death hole. Driving across 3 states and 500 miles all I encountered for a good 300 out of those 500 miles were endless highways littered with anti-suicide and anti-crystal meth bill boards.

Then in the distance...the great golden arches of the towering 100 foot tall McDonald's signs 50 miles in the distance, then the arby's, then maybe a burger king or a chevron. Then you get to the 'town' which consists of the above mentioned fast food places, 3-5 churches a gas station and houses. That's it. No grocery stores, no schools, no hospitals. Just that and endless farm fields for a hundred miles either way.

I have a friend who lives in south east asia. She eats home grown fresh food for less than $10 a day. Has more reliable and cheaper internet than me, has better surroundings than me and other than occasional random power outages, seems to have a better quality of life than me and most people in America.
