On god, US is such a dystopia I always remain flabbergasted when people talk about the american dream. My third world country (Romania) is a shithole but at least I can hope to pay for serious medical illnesses if I go jobless.

if I go jobless.

LMAO I'm from the American Midwest and I HAVE a job and can't afford a serious medical illness.

I broke a tooth in November and I still can't afford to get it fixed.

Travel to Mexico, get your tooth fixed, go back home
