As America gears up for its 250th birthday, you’d think this country was some dystopian nightmare judging by the professional victims clogging social media 24/7.
News flash: this is still and always will be the greatest country on Earth.
Only in America can somebody grow up with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, Uber Eats, Amazon Prime, unlimited entertainment, instant healthcare access, and a supercomputer in their pocket, all the while living in their parents' basement, and still somehow claim they’re “oppressed.”
Please.
We are living through one of the greatest economic revolutions in history. Artificial intelligence is creating fortunes overnight. Anybody with talent, hustle and a laptop can build a business, create content, trade stocks or learn skills for free online.
But instead of seizing opportunity, too many people would rather major in Sanskrit or gender studies, rack up $300,000 in student debt, then blame America because their “career journey” ended behind a Starbucks espresso machine.
Let this sink in: YOUR failed life choices are not the fault of the Founding Fathers.
The Constitution gave you freedom. God gave you free will. What you do with both is on you.
Meanwhile, the loudest anti-America crowd is posting angry TikToks from $1,200 iPhones while sitting in climate-controlled apartments waiting for DoorDash to deliver lunch because apparently walking to the kitchen and preparing your own food is now considered oppression.
And here’s the insane part: the people screaming that America is awful never seem eager to move anywhere else.
Try spending two weeks in Iran. Or Cuba. Or Venezuela. Go criticize the government there and see how long that works out for you. You’ll be kissing the ground at JFK begging to come home before your passport stamp dries.
No nation in human history has delivered more freedom, opportunity and prosperity to more people than the United States of America.
So as we hit 250 years, maybe it’s time to stop whining, stop apologizing and start appreciating the greatest country the world has ever seen.
Love it or leave it. I'm happy and staying right where I am.
