    I say paintjob because there’s still a comparatively “clean” façade compared to countries where most of the people don’t have access to clean drinking water and stuff. It’s the big reason why I hate the US; they could just choose to be better but simply aren’t and they can’t even blame famines or outside influence(well, to some degree) or war within or near their borders. The paint is absolutely flaking off but there’re still a lot of intact patches for people to look at while pretending that everything is ok.

      Believe me, we’re doing our level best to get there.

        Oh I’ve heard of the, uh, efforts. Quite inspiring if one aspires to be a burnt-out husk of despair and cruelty.
