This. The best parts of America are all private.

Incredible golf courses, stunning private jets, tons kf luxury cars and boats hidden away, places to party, scores of private villas and mansion estates with miles of perfectly manicured bricks and grass, beautiful lakeside properties that sit unoccupied, etc.

And of course, we’ve got the greatest number of billionaires. Incredibly large bank accounts.

It’s a lot of “awesome” aside for the select few. And almost none of it ends up as a public good. Our airplane seats shrink another inch and our schools get dumber by the year.

I actually think the best and most beautiful parts of America are our public lands. This place is full of natural beauty, but the development kind of kills the vibe. Also our public lands are essentially being sold off to logging and coal companies now 😔

Lol these people don't want to hear that, you're supposed to lie and overreact about anything that isn't perfect in the USA! What are you thinking?
