1.
Welcome to America, where the cops protect us from dangerous criminals!
2.
Like mothers trying to feed their children!
3.
The fact that this is necessary tells you all you need to know about America.
4.
The US will do anything but pass gun laws.
6.
Anyone else find this disturbing?
8.
…Yeah, we’re in the bad place.
9.
These should not be necessary.
10.
The fact that these Donald Trump bibles exist? Disgusting. The fact that they’re printed in China? Pure comedy.
11.
Is it just me, or are we living in a dystopia?
12.
Yep — definitely a dystopia.
14.
What is the point of this?
15.
This is where we’re at with the wealth gap in the US right now.
16.
The fact that “lunch debt” even exists for literal children is so disturbing.
17.
Sounds about right considering all the budget cuts these days.
18.
Because every little kid dreams of joining a militarized police force!
19.
Being a worker in the US right now is BLEAK.
20.
It doesn’t even matter how educated, smart, or experienced you are.
21.
More and more jobs are just disappearing, too.
22.
And being replaced by AI.
23.
How much you want to bet this tech barely works?
24.
This is just going to happen more and more with the ridiculous trans panic.
25.
This is where we’re at in the US right now — top US officials are tweeting videos about how women shouldn’t have the right to vote.
26.
In case you wondered what it’s like driving around the South…
27.
Here in the US, our worth is measured by how much labor we can contribute.
28.
…Yep, this pretty much sums up America.
29.
Half of America is basically a cult right now.
30.
AI has its uses, but you gotta admit, it’s starting to run a little rampant in the US.
31.
It’s genuinely ruining the job application process.
32.
Health insurance in the US is an absolute scam.
33.
And yet, without insurance, you’re screwed.
34.
This is how much it costs to take an ambulance — you know, to get you to the hospital in time to SAVE YOUR LIFE — in America.
36.
You gotta love how, in the era of fake news and rampant propaganda, our reliable news sources are paywalled.
38.
Yeah, this seems about right for America.
39.
It should not be this expensive to access the medication you need to function.
40.
You shouldn’t have to fight the insurance YOU PAY FOR to get your meds.
41.
I don’t know why this is framed as an inspiring story — it’s pretty darn bleak that anyone would have to do this.
42.
This isn’t inspiring either — it’s sad. No one should be priced out like this.
43.
This feels like a pretty good demonstration of recycling and “clean” efforts in America. All responsibility is put on the consumer, not companies, and then consumers’ efforts don’t even count. But hey, at least the people feel like they’re doing something!
44.
This is where grocery prices are at right now in the US.
45.
And finally, let’s end on a lighter photo that nevertheless proves that we may be completely cooked.
