99% of the people writing about how the US is a dystopian nightmare haven't lived in any other country.

I don't think it's a dystopian nightmare. I just think about how you guys got all those counter productive policies.

Guaranteed student loans in combination with private college simply doesn't work.

The way you zone your cities is causing widespread social problems.

Arresting people for doing drugs doesn't rehabilitate them.

It's not a dystopia, it's just lots of short sighted policies that cause long term failures.
