So I heard from North Korea that americans are living in despair. Is there anything I can do to help you get a better quality of life?

What can we do to help?
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Getting Kim Jong Un to grant Dennis Rodman citizenship and take him off our hands would be a start.

What a bizarre country that is. North Korea isn't much better. #ba-dum-tsh# SHAZAM! Arf...

Don't be deceived by the waistlines-- those aren't bellies full of burgers; they're parasites. Big bellies full of tapeworms. Because we cook our birds in snow.

Re: What can we do to help?
Give me a job where I don't get paid 25% less than a man.
Give me an education that won't leave me in debt for 35 years.
Give me a house I can afford to live in, instead of pay near mortgage rates for rent BECAUSE my student loan has put me in so much debt I can't buy a house to live in.
Give me a home where the buffalo roam, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Re: What can we do to help?
To be fair, it's 23% overall and is smaller if you're educated, young (< 40), and/or don't have kids. I want to say "single digit small," but I couldn't find stats that controlled for all three.
Also, way better than North Korea, which is the joke. Now eat your pan-fried blue bird, drink your cup of snow, and giggle a little.

In socialist Sweden, it's 6%

You're all well fed, with shelter, and a standard of living that most of the worlds population envies.
Y'all are doing ok.

Re: What can we do to help?
I must be rich because i drink a gallon of coffee a day. On the serious side i explain to my kids about living conditions i have seen on my worldly travels, and how easy even the poorest of people here have it.
