America is definitely different from most countries I would not say exceptional though. They still have no healthcare for people who aren't rich, daily mass shootings, and the politicians are just plain corrupt (and retarded).

It is awesome if you are rich, which I am now, but man it sucked when I was poor.



What are the awesome things for the rich?


Well not caring about prices for one. I don't look at price tags for every day things, I just buy them. Healthcare is much easier as you get more access and can just pay for better doctors. For example, my psychiatrist is 700/hr compared to a shitty insurance accepting psych. Mental health on insurance in general is terrible.

Just in general, life is easy when you have money. Its not the case in other countries because they are more equal, so in that respect America is exceptional. Really sucks for everyone else though


$700/hour for a psychiatrist? That is shockingly high, is it not?
