Take your own meaning

Maybe it means the USA is a good place to be living.

A lot of people would move to Canada if it weren't so darn cold.

We've been saying that the US is a great place to live for years. It's your ilk that says otherwise. Why don't you all move to Mexico...for the climate.

What ilk is that ? I don't have an ilk. The US is a great place with many great people. I have mentioned that many times. Are you one of those great people ?

By the way, what is your "we" ?

A perspective of what?

Possibly a perspective of the minimum wage a full time worker would receive in various countries...?

"regarding something in relation to each other"

"Everything in common" ? Those are your words...no one elses.

Explain, as your other words are only describing something you made up.

Note DRC is not even mentioned in the illustration.

Where are you going with this...nowhere ?

What is your "purpose" ?

In a capitalist and free market world, one would have no notion of such clap-trap. Go on and elucidate on your "perspective" Comrade.


In the off chance that your "perspective" is there is little discernible difference between Baltimore and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I might give partial credit.
