It's very pretty. Like there are truly, wonderously beautiful places in the us. There's genuine wilderness. Not much, but there's some. The people can be very cool. There's a lot of good food.
I drove through the Rockies a couple years ago (California -> Nevada -> Utah -> Colorado) and it was breathtaking. Every hour the terrain changed shape and color into something more beautiful. I never saw anything like it in the Bible Belt where I grew up. Literally all I did was drive on the interstate to get to my destination, yet it felt like a vacation.
It's a gorgeous drive. You're in the desert the whole time, but I never knew there were so many kinds of desert.
If you enjoy sugar than oh boy are we the country for you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_tea
I hope sweet tea is as horrifying to non-Americans as it is to me.
You've gotta try it though. Make some black tea. Pretty dark. While it's hot put like two spoonfuls of sugar in it. Then put some ice in it until it's cool. It's very good with lemon too
It sounds really unhealthy and that's because it is. But damn it is good
the free access to public bathrooms is increasingly less true for parts of some cities that are trying to be hostile to the unhoused population.
lots of locked bathrooms and "CUSTOMERS ONLY" crap. very exciting stuff to experience if you've gotta go while walking around in an unfamiliar city.
when people complain about shit and piss on the streets of their city, as far as I'm concerned they are telling on themselves for living in a city that gate keeps extremely basic facilities.
Having the privilege of running a business should mean having to offer a restroom. Full stop.
Diversity, both of people and geography. You can find a much wider spectrum of people (ethnicities, etc.) than in many other countries, and experience almost every biome the planet has to offer with some truly spectacular natural features.
We are, of course, doing our best to get rid of both those positive things.
Public land. There is so much of it in yankieland and it really is so amazing. However, Native Americans should be in control of all public land as a part of landback.
Ice with drinks without asking
Free flowing treats
The food is amazing bc of the diversity
I would challenge your bathroom claim, they may as well not exist and are disgusting
The level of junk food so much more advanced. I'm vegan, I went to the Northeast ten years ago, and the amount and quality of vegan ice cream, cakes, etc blew me away.
Honestly despite everything, the US is overall extremely diverse. If you're in a major city you have access to a huge amount of cultural diversity and it's all available to you. You can go to street festivals. You can go to restaurants. You can go to art shows and poetry slams and book readings and movies and music and anything and everything and it's all right around the corner from you if you just go look. It's one of the best parts of the US for sure.
ITT: People listing things that aren't unique to America because they've never left and don't have any point of comparison
The people saying the US has huge cultural diversity are killing me. The US has terrible cultural diversity for a country of its size. The fact that everyone speaks the same language with little differences between dialects should clue you in on the relative lack of cultural diversity. Mexico has more cultural diversity within it despite being a quarter of the US's size. An actual culturally diverse country would be something like Nigeria, which is culturally three different countries stapled together with hundreds of ethnic groups with their own unique culture and their own language within each of those three subcountries. Nigeria is also a tenth the size of the US.
I'm pretty sure nearly every country has those three to some extent.

NYC public metro is pretty cool, maybe it's just because I was raised in NYC but I still think it's a cool thing. Too bad they're going to sell it to some Israeli dumbfuck when Zionism collapses.
NY Gov Kathy Hochul slashed congestion pricing which cuts Metro Transit Agency funding which will have a ripple effect throughout US's already aging infrastructure. Rightists in NYC have also been creating a moral panic around NYC's subway being unsafe and the cop mayor Adams is upping police presence in the subway dramatically. The only reason you'd continually beat your public infrastructure to death is if you want to privatize it. Who better to gobble up US public infrastructure than the Zionist ruling class whose capital flight is going to happen sooner rather than later?
Like holy shit they spent billions on the OMNY payment system even though fares were never a real issue, they are ready to sell this dump to the highest bidder.
Something I’m old enough to remember… it used to be that it was reasonably affordable to buy a high-mileage used car and just drive it until it couldn’t run anymore, then get another one. That’s why my dad did his whole life. Driving sucks I would infinitely prefer public transport but if you’re gonna make car ownership a requirement to live at least make it cheap.
Then Obama did the Cash for Clunkers program, which absolutely obliterated the cheap used car market and it hasn’t recovered since. It was a not-so-hidden giveaway to the car companies because it put a lot of people into situations where you had to buy a new car, thanks Obama.
