John Roosevelt You’ve never left Orange County, Stanford, Greenwich or East side Manhattan have you? I think the only difference is the United States hides it a lot better. With highways connecting rich enclaves, it’s entirely possible to avoid seeing it. Never seen a family eating from the dollar menu counting pennies out, an uninsured sick person sitting in the ER all night, someone filling up a beater with $3 of gas to get them home, a strip of boarded up shops with only check cashing, blood plasma and pawn shops open. Maybe one day you’ll take the wrong freeway exit and end up in how most of America lives.
