Anger yes... jealousy no... I'm doing just fine... my wants and needs are not financially based. But I'm not poor.

I have no expensive hobbies... mostly I like to work and produce unlike most Americans.

I need only enough to live a reasonable life. I would never own a mansion or an overpowered car. My modest Toyota is almost too luxurious. I would ride my bicycle 90% of the time, as I used to. but it's no longer safe in America... as I pointed out:

20,000 will die from gun violence this year

40,000 will die from car accidents

"Gun control" is a fantasy there are 400,000,000 guns in America.

The roads are even more dangerous. Speeding tickets for going 100+ were double last year over the year before.

Americans are so selfish they'll risk a cyclists life to literally save NO TIME... just to hit a red light before it turns green. It's Pavlovian... they are conditioned just like Pavlov's dog to hurry hurry hurry. Americans won't let people change lanes even they are so selfish.

I'm definitely not like you. These are not complaints they are descriptions of reality in this country.
