A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They hang out here because America is currently one of/the best wealth engines on the planet and they can afford to avoid the shit parts. Once either of those stop they'll go somewhere else that's nicer
I have said for years now: the USA is the best possible place to be rich or to get rich. But if you aren't, and have no plans or ability to be, then it's the worst in the developed world.
This is the real reason. It continues to exceed expectations in profits and honestly, it’s got almost every climate you can think of. It’s a pretty country.
That will only get ruined the more the wealthy shit in the rest of us.
