>feelings I have towards the US as a US citizen: it's a place that I know is filled with brilliant, kind, interesting people, and it's a place that has given me nearly everything in my life, including the money to buy the home I now live in and even the health insurance responsible for the birth of my son — but it's also ultimately not something to be anthropomorphized, but rather a faceless machine that makes often bad decisions that I don't have any real influence over.
The country that gave me millions sucks.
You are not MEANT to have ultimate decision making over anything, thats why you are a cog, in a machine, making 500k$ per year. and you get to complain about it from your mansion SECOND house in arizona, while transiting from palo alto first mansion.
