I'm not in the US. Your issue isn't only in the US, it's worldwide. Everyone suffers, no matter where they live, and frankly, suffering in the US isn't that bad, compared to other places. Would you like to live in Africa, or Iran, or Iraq, etc?
No government can take care of every issue, and no government can make everyone happy.
Does it suck? Yes. Is there anything you can do about it? No.
So suck it up buttercup. Work with the system you have in place, and stop whining. Whining doesn't do a darn thing. It doesn't help you, and it makes no difference to anyone else.
Either take action, or suck it up. If you don't take action, you're part of the problem, not the solution. So stop griping about things you can't or won't change.
Sorry, but that's the truth.
