Many Americans believe that the new guys have to suffer, like they had to, and that it’s the suffering that unites us. Many don’t seem to be ok with being the last ones that suffer so the next don’t have to, which is seen as unfair. At least that’s been my experience living over here.

That's a really unfortunate philosophy because at best it guarantees things never improve

Oh yeah, it’s very unfortunate, specially considering that saying about planting trees whose shade we will never enjoy.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
