Russian emigrant to the USA: the main disadvantages of life in America

The USA is a country of strong contrasts, and each has its own. Some time ago we told the story of our compatriot Alex, who fell in love with the United States during a tourist trip, after emigrated there, but a few years ago he decided to return back to Russia. He explained the reasons for such a decision in more detail to the portal Ru_Open.

Let's go through the thesis on this list of claims to American reality through the eyes of a Russian emigrant.

Hypocrisy

The life of the average American goes under the guise of an artificially taut smile. They smile in your face, but behind your back, a smile flies instantly. Under her cover, it’s customary to do all sorts of nasty things. For example, in the morning the husband may wish health to the ill wife, and in the evening she may receive a divorce notice from him by mail. It is also accepted and considered the norm to “knock” at all times: to the chief, police, inspection inspections, etc.

American laws

There are many of them, in different states they are different, and they are stupid or just wild in meaning. Just that, everyone calls the police. It is difficult to find out the relationship on the street in a fair fight. According to Alex, there are cameras everywhere, and for such an incident, both parties to the conflict run the risk of losing their jobs. It is not recommended to step on someone else's lawn somewhere in Texas, they can even shoot there.

The free carrying of weapons in some states is a special topic. On the one hand, it’s good when you have a gun, on the other hand, a short barrel can be in the pocket of a mentally ill person who is sitting on antidepressants. I don’t want to fall into such a hand.

American courts

To sue everyone for any reason is also the norm for the United States. There is a known case when the plaintiff spent legal costs of $ 100 to repay a debt of $ 2500. They can sue for anything: for example, a feminist man for helping him open the door, thereby infringing on her rights.

Psychiatric

There are many of them in the USA, as ordinary people are in a state of constant stress and continuous social pressure on them. It is not customary to talk with friends heart to heart there. Those who have money go to psychoanalysts who issue them large bills and sit on antidepressants. Those who do not have money, they accumulate negative energy in themselves and then break down. American street lunatics are very aggressive.

Medicine

She is paid and expensive in the USA. An ambulance will go home only for money. But, most likely, to save money, the doctor will not come home, and the patient will be taken to the hospital, where he will get a decent bill. For example, Alex had to do an ultrasound of the kidneys for a child, which in itself costs money. But he was not allowed to the procedure without a doctor’s examination, which cost another 250 dollars. I had to pay only for the American Aesculapian to simply measure the height and weight of the child, look at his throat.

Attitude to children

It is very paradoxical. On the one hand, everyone is shaking over the children. On the other hand, in the kindergarten where Alex sent the child to Florida, the children slept right on the tiled floor under the air conditioning, where they could easily catch a cold. From the food in their diet were Cola and pizza, which is very negative for health. Due to such nutrition, from an early age, the metabolism is disturbed, and many become very fat.

There are no state kindergartens as such. Rather, they are, but for those who unofficially call white trash (white trash). The contingent is appropriate there, and often correcting drug addicts work, so no one in their mind will voluntarily give up their children to such care for the state. A private garden with pizza and cola will cost $ 1000 a month in Florida.

Training

In order to get a good job in the USA, you need to get a good education. And many have big problems with this. So, to go to college, you need to have a tidy sum of approximately 25-50 thousand dollars a year. Many get out, taking a loan to study, and then pay the bank for decades.

But first you need to finish a good school, and with this everything is cleverly invented. Good schools are only in good areas. They will not be allowed to attend such a school just like that. The logic is this:


That is, one who does not have money for a good house in a good area will not be able to get a good school education. It turns out a powerful property qualification that separates the inhabitants of the ghetto from education, decent work and prospects in life.

Unconventional values

One of the reasons for the growing popularity of homosexual relations in the West is the aggressive feminist movement. American women, as a rule, do not take too much care of themselves, are overweight. For attempting courtship may sue the man "for sexual harassment." Here's what Alex says about this:


Here is such a wrong side of modern American life.
