There's not a single country that doesn't have problems. But being the leader of the Western world, the United States of America is held to a high standard and its issues are often viewed through a magnifying glass, both internally and internationally. And the subreddit 'A Normal Day In America' is trying to bring some humor to these discussions.

Created in 2014, it now has 33.1k members, and according to the community's 'About' section, it focuses on things like toddlers in tiaras, guns in supermarkets, $100k hospital bills, obese babies, and other "everyday occurrences" in the US.

    This reminds me of the 1920s recession in Australia. You could take and slaughter a sheep for food as long as you left the skin behind for farmers to get paid back for their loss from the government. Sometimes it's just fair enough...

Most and all properly way of doing CPR, you are suppose to press down far enough like 2 inches down and fast enough to the song of " Staying Alive" meaning the beat of the song and if you break a rib or 2, then u may save their life!
