Mate, you’re running a country where 600,000 people are sleeping on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t come up with $400 for an emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are cutting back on it just to survive. A country where medical bills are the main reason people go bankrupt. A country where women are dying in hospital parking lots because doctors are too scared to treat miscarriages because of abortion laws.
You have more people in jail than any other country in the world.
More than China, Russia, and North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in prison, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of a crime. They’re just too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is going down, and you’re the only developed country where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Kids do active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell gun company stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t gone up in 15 years.
Teachers are working two jobs, and veterans are sleeping under bridges. And you just spent a trillion dollars on a war against a country that didn’t attack you.
You’ve got a convicted criminal running the biggest mess of a war campaign since the Taliban said thanks for losing again.
And you’re calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has free healthcare, free education, and one of the lowest rates of prison in the world.
No one goes bankrupt because of illness, and no one dies waiting in a hospital because insurance won’t cover it.
“NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.”
When exactly, champ? September 11th? Because NATO used Article 5 for the first and only time in history for you. Soldiers from many countries fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan for you. Australia wasn’t even part of NATO and still showed up. For 20 years.
And you left at 2am without telling anyone, leaving the mess for others to clean up.
Maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, take a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned, aluminium-siding salesman.
The only thing that’s poorly run in this picture is your mouth.
