Owning a car in Singapore, one of the world’s most expensive countries, has always been something of a luxury. But costs have now soared to an all time high.
Meanwhile I took a rideshare from a site visit at 5:30pm and there was already some congestion on the expressway. I cannot imagine what it’d be like if it was a free-for-all for cars.
Well here in my part of the USA, I can hop in my car and be at the front door of several restaurants or grocery stores within 5 minutes because I live in a nice area with low population density. Traffic jams almost never happen in my area. I have my own house and land where I can do anything I want. I work from home most of the time and don’t have to travel at all. On the days when I choose to work from the office, it’s an easy 20-minute drive from my home with zero traffic jams.
On top of all that, I can have any kind of alcohol I want and medical marijuana is legal. I can criticize my government leaders in public without fear of reprisal. I could be gay and have anal sex with men legally if I wanted to.
It’s funny how all of you America haters constantly talk about how we “don’t have any freedom” but you can’t provide any example of anything that I don’t have the freedom to do. Please go ahead and educate me about what freedom you think I don’t have, because I do whatever the fuck I want pretty much all the time.
It’s sad that you can only reach places such as shops by driving.
Also you can’t even get an abortion, being trans is likely to get you genocides by a conservative, being black is likely to get you killed by a cop, you can’t see tits or swear but you can have blood and gore everywhere, your cops can no knock raid your house and drag you out to a detention centre and steal your children, you have little employee rights, and very few social protections, you’re banning books from libraries, stopping women getting healthcare, etc.
And on top of all that, you can’t even have any alcohol until you’re 21 and weed is still federally illegal and millions of innocent people are in gaol for decades because of it.
Honestly Americans are the least free of any developed nation and that’s only trending downwards for them.
Lol, an American thinking they know best again.

You sound insufferable af.
You’re just mad that you don’t have all the cool freedoms that I have. I do literally whatever I want every day and it’s great.
The US isn’t even close to being the country with the most freedom, but please continue to fall for your government and corporations propaganda.

Yeah we’ve all seen how depressing America is.
