I know America is a first-world country, what you say is true, I would even go so far to say that most of you what you say is fact and yet it's problems still bothers me. I suppose if I'm being more specific, what I'm really saying is that there is too much room for improvement, don't you agree? Slum areas are some of the worst in the states due to poor city planning, poor access and affordable transportation to education, some of the older areas are purposely design that way as some were originally built as racially segregated communities back during Jim Crow times. Food supplies are healthy in the states, that is true. No one will starve as long as you know where to look but if we talk about nutritional value, transportation and access to the stores that houses foods and the affordability of healthier foods over pleasure foods, there is room for improvement don't you agree?
Maybe such problems don't concern you that much. Fine, let's talk about luxuries. Luxuries are always important, gotta keep people's happiness in mind. Everyone loves a good distraction from the harder parts of life and for a country that continually pushes this image out as a nation full of luxuries, there's too much room for improvement in this area. Take for example, people romanticize the US as this endless countryside and that's true. Endless mountains, plateaus, cliff sides, it's all breath-taking especially under the rain but the dozens and dozens and dozens of empty decrepit parking lots do ruin that luxury don't you agree? Another thing, one of the greatest luxuries a country can have are bullet trains. They are practically a staple of any advanced first-world nation, something romantic about seeing the country side from a train that goes up to 200 miles per hour and yet no investments have been made for one in the US out of fear of ruining another industry apparently. Not just a luxury for romanticism, no. People with certain jobs or appointments may need to use the train because cars take longer to get to one point to the other long-distance wise or maybe they don't even have a vehicle at all. This would especially be helpful in the East where people love to walk and the West where cities are often isolated to the roads. Why you ask? The father you go west, the more America becomes the Cities of the Car, much of it's travel routes being long distance-roads where roads are prioritized over sidewalks which understandably makes sense. Let's not stop there, vacations. Let's talk about vacations. So many European countries have made it easier for their own citizens to take a vacation to see other countries. Some would even go so far as to create programs to make it easier for children to take vacations with of course the supervision of an adult or guardian and that I do think is an important luxury, to see the world's culture at a young age as your mind develops. Cross-cultural exchange is always important, helps cultures develop and American culture is always in constant need of that.
With that said, I've said too much but I think you get the idea right? A lot of room for improvement.
