Give me the names of all these wonderful other countries and show me the evidence of the long lines of Americans seeking asylum there. Compare that to the hoards walking hundreds of miles in order to come to America. What is the spin you can put on that fact? I do believe this is the greatest country on earth bar none and I am not afraid to say it.

Go ahead, princess, and tell us how you really feel. You’re a two bit hospital janitor who makes minimum wage. You crave communism and hope it comes to America. If it does, you get both a pay raise and status among your friends. LOL

Wow, there's plenty of competition for the Pigeon Chess Championship playoffs!

We all aspire to beat you for the championship! You’ve held that title for 20+ years now.

You shouldn’t pontificate on phrases you don’t understand.

Of course no ‘first world’ country has been communist because by definition. The first world nations are non communist.

The second world was/is the communist block.

Third world was/is non aligned nations.

I do believe there was a report here recently indicating a very large increase in Americans wanting to come to NZ. And a lot of your millionaires/billionaires have bolt holes here.
The US does have cheap goods, a pretty bad race problem, a pretty bad healthcare system, not a very good reputation overseas for finishing conflicts properly once started, just as many poor people as other countries, an over emphasied feeling of their own superiority, a political system that beggars belief, an ability to bury their heads in the sand when facing real problems. In other words just as many problems (not all the same ones mind but still just as many) as most other countries with my last point above being the worst of them.
By the way hoards is spelt wrong, it should be hordes - maybe this is an indication of your education system as well ? One thing you are good at is hoarding the worlds wealth. Unfortunately China is now trying to get some of it - don't bury your heads in the sand over that.

If anyone in this country wants to move to NZ, or anywhere else for that matter, they should go. No one is going to miss them or stop them.

Actions speak much louder than words. How many leftie celebrities have said that if so and so wins the election I am moving to Canada or France or some other location outside of the USA? How many have actually done so? Wanting to do something and actually doing it are not the same. The "hordes" of human beings from numerous foreign countries that are actually doing something, often illegally, to achieve what they want, which is to live in the USA, far surpasses those in this country who are actually leaving for foreign shores for whatever reason they have. The USA is far from perfect but it beats all of the alternatives and the whole world knows it, except those whose hate prevents them from admitting it. If it were not for the USA we might all be speaking German today.

As to our educational system, our universities are packed with non citizens here to get an education. Look what the numbers are comparing those from other lands coming here to get an education to US citizens who are going to another country for theirs. The last time I checked it was about 3 foreigners coming to the US to every 1 getting their educations outside the US. These are facts and wishing them false is fruitless.

Actually the word is spelled correctly just applied incorrectly but then lefties always turn to personal attacks when facts get in their way.

When are you leaving for NZ? Hope you have a wonderful trip. I hear everyone is moving there these days. Maybe you can show them what is wrong with their country when you get there.

And another big problem with SOME US citizens is how little attention they pay to what is all around them.
I didn't say hoards was misspelt I said hordes was misspelt - just had to slip that in.
Now spend a little time looking about you instead of spouting off a gut reaction. Have a look at my title line. You will see that I am already in New Zealand although I could have faked that I suppose.
We have free speech here too. Because we don't have as many stubborn people (as a percentage) claiming that anything and everything is an infringement on their constitutional rights we have much less covid infections and deaths. Any normal person with half a brain would be quite happy to suspend their 'constitutional' rights until covid is licked. But not a lot of US citizens. Where do you fit in this ?
Oh and thanks for your help during WW2 since I didn't want to speak German. Same applies to me speaking Japanese. Although I feel I should point out that if you had entered it earlier it wouldn't have lasted as long.
And in case it helps you with motivation I also don't want to have to learn Chinese (or have an organ harvested if I refuse).

It needs to be said again ... Jacinda Ardern has proved to be a calibre national leader in a crisis.

No one will ever say that about Donald J Trump.

The U.S. has all the resources to produce PPE’s, masks, coveralls, and the like. All it takes is a manufacturer who sees a profit in producing them! And the will to do it! As for the medical shortage of PPE’s, it is the same reason for toilet paper shortages, hoarding of supply, and overpricing of remaining stocks! Hospitals prefer disposable Masks and gowns, using more durable and reusable breathing apparatus’s is not only cost prohibitive but allows transfer of bacteria and viruses from room to room! Because they rely on disposables the hospitals are at the mercy of hoarders. The supply chain for hospitals are especially difficult in a panic situation. Profit rules the roost, and hospitals don’t want to sit on thousands of dollars of inventory that may or may not be needed. The CDC, and FEMA are restricted to similar restraints! In a situation like the Covid cases, production is throttled down because of a lack of people willing or able to work. So, in normal times, when there is no need for emergency stocks, production is more than adequate, during a pandemic it is restricted by the inability to field healthy, and willing labor, and by profitability of producing a product at an affordable price!
