The American dream is an idea that with enough hard work, courage, and sacrifice, anyone can lead a happy life. It’s an aspirational belief that all individuals, regardless of where they come from or what family they were born into, can reach success if they just put their mind to it.

Sure, the United States has plenty to be proud of—it’s the most powerful country in the world that has a well-deserved reputation in culture, innovation, and democracy. However, it also has its flaws, showing that the American way of life is not always exactly a dream.

Sometimes, when you’re scrolling through social media, you come across posts where many discuss the unhealthy work-life balance, complicated housing crisis, flawed healthcare system, overwhelming debt—you name it. Take a look at what people have shared on the internet, and let us know what you think of it in the comment section below.

We reached out to one of the users who shared a post about the difficulties of living in the US with fellow r/AntiWork community members. The author preferred to stay anonymous but was kind enough to share their thoughts with us. “The reason why I posted this on r/AntiWork was mainly to show people the ridiculous situation happening in the United States,” the user told Bored Panda.

They mentioned an example that a few weeks ago, several states passed laws that allowed 14-year-olds to work until 11 PM: “Many people were outraged because these companies would rather use ‘child labor’ instead of providing adults a ’living wage.’”

The author said that they can see the US as perhaps a great country to live in if you are a business owner: “Low regulations compared to other first-world nations—no required maternity/paternity leave, most states don’t mandate breaks/lunches for adults, low minimum wage, most states being at-will employment (so you can fire employees at will with little repercussions).”

The aholes in the government want you to believe nothing you do will make a difference. They are wrong, it’s all propaganda. They want you uneducated, poor and too busy to care or pay attention, it’s evil, it makes the USA weak and vulnerable. It’s why the illicit drug scene is thriving. Watch some Robert Reich YouTube videos and hold onto whatever hope you can. Vote, write letters..do what you can to be a part of the solution not a part of the problem

They want to clarify that they disagree with all these regulations being acceptable in this country and feel all of them need to be addressed. However, “from a selfish standpoint, if you are rich, this really is probably a great place to live.”

“Your assets are basically stable, strong military prevents instability in the country financially, most of the politicians willingly support your causes and the public will even blindly support your causes even when it goes against their interest, etc.,” they mentioned.

“From what I can gather is that certain jobs in the USA pay much more than in other countries, like in the tech sector,” the user mentioned. “So unless you get a job in the tech sector here then maybe it is better than in other developed countries.”

Lots of issues with prescriptions and access to care that need to be changed.

According to Zippia, with around 12.2M tech industry workers, net tech employment accounts for 7.9% of the total U.S. workforce. However, they have a huge impact on the U.S. economy since tech employees make up to 85% more than those in other industries: “And this number becomes even more inflated in certain areas. For example, tech workers in San Jose, California, earn up to 507% more than the average area salary.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Yet, those who are not employed in this sector are much more vulnerable: “Should something truly catastrophic happen, your ability to pay for healthcare, housing, food evaporates, and the public options in most of this country with their onerous red tape are designed to facilitate your death while you wait for them to kick in,” the author said.

Had a huge debate with a nurse back in the 1980’s when the medical system changed from being compassionate snd having the patient be the main focus to having the guy who writes the checks be in charge of care. I said this is going to flat out till people, she disagreed. Sure enough within a year young poverty stricken kids with serious multiple medical problems began dying. Within another year free clinics were popping up to care for rural patients. One of the suits at Aetna insurance went to visit his father in rural Maine, read the paper advertising the free clinics, got up at 7am convincing himself nobody would show. The line had started forming at 5am and was a quarter mile long by 7am. Dude stayed all day, learning about how bad things are. He quit his job the next day, could not stand the contradictions of the opulence his company afforded him and those turned away from care fir “previously existing” issues or who lost everything due to outrageous billing practices.

“Factor in cheaper rent [in other countries], cheaper transit, twice as much vacation time, etc., and the US advantages fade away real quick,” they continued. “No big difference in grocery costs, and other day-to-day expenses, much faster internet speeds, affordable and usable phone plans.”

The user added: “The only advantages in America for an employee are cheaper single-family homes if you live in such an area, cheaper gas prices (but CA gas prices are about halfway between the UK and the rest of US), and cheaper cars (new & used).”

They think that if you’re not employed in the tech sector, “aren’t born rich, and just want to live as an employee, EU countries give you a much better bang for buck.”

“Overall though, for the average person, I just don’t see the benefits,” the author said. “If one has any illness or health issues (chronic or otherwise), you are basically not guaranteed healthcare and could simply just go bankrupt with no assistance. The culture here is people worrying about petty things (religion and other things) over helping their fellow citizens get proper healthcare, etc.”

On a final note, having to deal with such issues daily puts a toll on people’s emotional well-being: “This is anecdotal but one of the worst things I have done for my mental health was learning how the USA truly operates. I’m sure that some people feel the same way.”

And yet people in America constantly trash struggling fellow Americans…the disabled, the poor, the mentally ill, homeless vets, as if those people wanted to be in those positions. Then they are victimized again for self medicating because in reality there is no access to effective affordable long term mental health professionals. Yet few complain about the BILLIONS of dollars going to Wall Street welfare or to the losses the 1% cost everyone in loss of taxes due to the hoarding of billions in off shore accounts

I remember hearing about this years ago and was appalled at the injustice. I understand that the homeless man got more of a sentence because he was armed with some sort of weapon but he was desperate and needed the money to survive. Maybe if there were better services he wouldn't have had to make that choice. He even felt remorse and handed himself in. The CEO did it out of greed, tried covering it up and showed no remorse.

Hungary should not be on this list either. We don't get automatic (mostly) free healthcare like in the UK. (Well children do.) If you're an adult, you have it as long as you're employed and the insurance pay is deducted from your salary, or you're self employed and you pay for it. When you lose your job you can still have it for a little while if you're a registered job seeker, but after a few months that's gone too. From that point when you have zero income you can only keep your access to healthcare if you pay the insurance rates. You know, out of your zero income. If you don't, you're not insured and you'll only be treated if it's a life threatening emergency. The pandemic took away lots of people's jobs and I'm sure not all of them had enough savings (Hungary is one of the worst when it comes to people having savings) to pay for a continued insurance, therefore saying 0 lost their coverage is just not true.

He advises his newly hired officers upon that he expects the citizens and visitors to his county to be treated well, that officers will be held to a higher standard and anyone unwilling to get on his program or is foolish enough to test his authority are immediate dealt with and they are publicly shamed.

Lockdown is quite a stretch. People are only adviced to work from home. Also it was only necessary because governments are naive enough to think COVID passes work. And are now at the point where they are admitting it is still the way to go to get an ever higher percentage of vaccinated people. Even with Pfizer calling it unwanted practice to just keep vaccinating healthy people when it doesn't stop transmission. So. That's very grim right there and absolutely unwanted policy. Macron also literally declared he wants to bully French citizens into taking the vaccine. Sounds healthy right?

Our moronic government looks west and sees the US as a model for how things should be done (coz looking east to Europe is unthinkable). But only for themselves of course - these tweets wouldn't even register with them as being problems.

Most have recently, or are soon to be recently, dropping work from home and leaving it to company discretion.

What the hell do you think the GULF EAR WAS ALL ABOUT?!?!? It certainly wasn’t to free oppressed people. Hell the US Government paid war lords to bring in any young men they “suspected” of being involved with ISIS. The warlords were paid for each person brought in. NO PROOF NEEDED OR ASKED FOR. Watch the Documentary Taxi Ride to Hell. Oil magnates in government are going to use their power to forward their own agendas, it’s why every Americans rights have been eroded, it’s called The Patriot Act, and it is the worst document ever created by the US Government impacting ALL citizens! BUSH ADMINISTRATION 1 & 2 “Yup worth it” suckers!!!

Privatized prisons, another absolutely evil business plan. Overcharging prisoners and their families for everything from phone calls to $2 packs of lunch sized Fritos. Unconscionable!!! The worst, refusing prisoners face to face in person visits, some places demand prisoners use a Face-Time like system which families are charged outrageous prices for. The other worst is delaying your right to a fair and SPEEDY trial, being pressured into pleading guilty for something you did not do in order to save your ( *fill in the blank ) *job, marriage, home etc. Because pleading not guilty means you stay locked up if you don’t have bail, making more money got the privatized prison of which people rarely recover from!!

Oh god, that's so funny, but so true. I know a young man who is mixed race (white/Asian), but who doesn't see the irony of supporting a (former) president whose policies and attitudes towards any Asians was nothing short of monstrous. Needless to say, he is not an educated man.

I genuinely don't know how anyone in America copes when they come home from hospital and receive these kinds of bills. It must be absolutely soul destroying! And I would really love to know how do the hospitals justify or come up with the pricing? I had two MRI scans last month, and the total cost was €0 and this was part of public health care as I don't feel the need to pay for private. My heart goes out to all families in America who receive these crazy crazy bills :(

This is actually illegal and each incident needs to be reported to the State Attorney General. Same thing happened in Northern California during the wild fire, people were fined and jailed. Clorox tried to scalp Amazon customers out of $400. for a container of their wipes mid first year of the pandemic.

Did anyone read about the Republican that got into a road rage incident with a Prius? He went and pulled a gun and surprising to him, the Prius owner pulled a gun and shot him dead first. What's even more remarkable is that this Republican scum had recently got off probation for doing the exact same thing at the exact same intersection a few years earlier. Why was he allowed to have a gun? Oh, because he was white. And Republican.

When my daughter and I had no insurance, we joined a program to pay $500 a month. I was verbally given guarantees that the price would be static for 2 years, so I signed the contract. The agent left the company after a month. In the next six months, our premium went from 500 to 1500, which was more than my take home pay. So no more insurance.

It’s not clear whether they are trying to normalise child abuse or just educate. Child abuse is behaviour, an action, while pedophilia is exclusive sexual attraction to children. One does not necessarily equal the other. Same as wanting to steal and actually stealing are not the same thing. Plenty of child abusers are not pedophiles in that they are also attracted to adults, which is important to know in order to able to better protect children.
