4. Why would anyone want to come here?

The government is spectacularly incompetent. Everything is falling apart. Armed gorillas are patrolling the streets rounding up anyone for any reason or no reason, the food sucks, the health care (or rather, the access to good health care) sucks, any tourist attractions people might have wanted to visit are rapidly losing their luster, we are criminalizing more and more things in order to feed the hungry maw of the private prison industry, every dickshit with a trigger finger and a grudge is packing high-powered weaponry everywhere, and if you don't speak English at a level that will satisfy some ass-scratching, dentally-challenged, hillbilly fuckwit, he'll curbstomp you.

I'm sorry, erstwhile tourists to the United States, you're better off travelling somewhere else. The U.S. needs to be closed, shuttered, and condemned. And unless we get some competent new management up in this place, it needs to be plowed under and salted, too.
