Some people are also imbeciles and think just because you weren’t born in a hut you should “thank your lucky stars” and bow to the privileged s**t stained hierarchy for keeping you around to do their job. Welcome to the United States, here is your capitalist card now get over it.
Some people are content anywhere as long as they've got food, water, and a roof over their head without some terminal disease, or hell, with a terminal disease. Others will whine no matter what the circumstance. Some of the happiest people live in dirt poor countries without adequate nutrition, while others bemoan their angsty existence because they've never managed to quite get past toddler-hood, for which we can only offer them some Fisher-Price.
