Thoughts as an American visiting England

England has the NHS. National Health Services. It’s not tied to your job, only your citizenship.

Having just gotten back from there, I have some thoughts.

They have a community that we don’t have here in The United States.

We’re currently every man for himself.

Arguably it’s always been that way.

I took an Uber in the UK, and had a conversation with that driver who was a citizen of the UK, but came from North Africa.

He couldn’t believe that healthcare wasn’t equal.

Couldn’t believe that healthcare wasn’t a right.

He asked, “what if someone is homeless?”

My answer was, “they’ll probably die”.

We all know that’s true.

Especially now when our current government wants to cut all public funding.

What a great way to bring us back to the Middle Ages, where there was a rich body of people and a poor body of people.

Maybe that’s what “Make America great again” means?

I feel like the idiots who voted for Trump, have no idea what that means or have any historical context, or just won’t admit any wrong doing.

They just thought their one issue would be “solved”

Hispanic people eradicated.

Gaza controlled by Israel (Jokes on you, Trump hates the Jewish people and he wants Gaza to himself to make money off of)

The price of eggs lower (not even possible by a President).

Watching the news over there, the only thing they talked about was Trump wanting to buy Greenland.

Having been there recently, I can say that being American is an extreme embarrassment.
