> I feel for the people of Europe; they deserve better. So many of the smart, lovely people you meet here are stuck on absurdly low salaries in countries without any obvious future other than managed decline. Instead of being offered a future, they're offered endless relitigation of the past.

Most of the Europeans I know leave the US as soon as they have kids. Everyone seems to prefer managed decline rather than having their kids attend lessons on what to do if a man with a gun comes into school.

Agreed. There is no real discourse on guns in the US. It’s not maniacs, mental health or politics. It’s guns.

Every discussion on the gun problem leads to vague mentions of better mental health or going back to communal communities. Country’s with far cheaper healthcare can’t solve the mental illness problem, only our lunatics have can’t walk into a store and buy a firearm.
