Disagree… if you’re unhappy with where you are in the US, its a big enough place that you can find like minded individuals and communities instead of bitching in reddit. You can move to Portland, SF, DC, or on the otherside, Texas or Florida. Or, like you said, advocate for change in their immediate area. But there are so many people here unwilling to take charge of their own lives and do something about it. And predisposed to complain about “America”, never mind that it’s 330 million, incredibly diverse people.

Personally, I love living in the NL. American, but would stay as long as they would let me. But let’s be real… the mexican/ latin/ “tex-mex” food here is absolutely terrible. Not a big deal for us, as you can still get all the ingredients here. We just make it all at home.
