It’s clear to me that Americans will bend over and take whatever is given to them. I think that is the root of all the problems that this country has: the inability of Americans to DO anything more than whine.
Americans whine about being molested by the TSA, yet do nothing to stop it. The TSA supposedly got rid of the nudie scans, but you can bet they won’t get rid of the backscatter xray machines all together because Americans just accept this violation of civil rights without protest. It’s easier than being delayed or actually having to say I OPT OUT. Whine, whine, that’s SO HARD.
Americans whine about no healthcare, yet are willing to allow the government to mandate that we pay private companies pretty much whatever they want in lieu of ACTUAL healthcare.
Americans whine about pollution by utilities, yet allow them (Southern Company, I’m looking at YOU) to continue using coal fired plants and refuse to change. All the while, raising rates continuously in the name of “innovation”. Right. Meanwhile, there’s no real use of solar or wind turbines in the US. Why? Well, that would stop the utilities making money hand over fist and lessen the kickbacks to politicians. That’s just crazy talk!
Americans pay 10x more for 100x slower internet speeds than the rest of the world, yet do nothing to end the oligopolies that are keeping things just like they are. Oligobble our balls!
Ugh. I’m just really put out with the bullshit today. It all started with AT&T being completely incapable of changing an account from consumer to business. It has been a MONTH. It’s finally in there, yet I can barely log in to the goddam control panel. Why? Because AT&T’s shitty website has cache issues. Jeeze. Dude I admin for pays that piece of shit company almost $300/mo for 5 phones and they refuse to even give him a minor iPhone upgrade as a bonus. It’s crazy! Why more Americans simply refuse to use AT&T is beyond my comprehension. I wouldn’t use AT&T if they were the last phone company on earth. I’d just use email. The level of SUCK of AT&T should not be tolerated, yet people just suck it up and keep paying the excessive bills because it’s easier than actually DOING something about it.
