[@captlanc]

America being one of the richest countries in the world and still doesn’t have affordable healthcare. Nobody is okay with the status quo, the media simply manipulated their reporting to tell everyone that they are. How to you expect major cooperations to provide anything better? America has become a capitalist nightmare for every ordinary (not rich) person staying there.

[@woofer2121]

no flavor at all. people around here just want greasy balls of starch.

[@TheBucketHatBlink]

@sboulderickmam I'd agree in the sense of advertisements telling americans our food is good. People need to stop spending their dollars on garbage. Only then will corporate America improve their food. I'd rather travel across town for a japan level 7elevan than have any fastfood chain nextdoor and personally delivered to me
