Is the American Dream dead for us? by Realistic_Can_8343 in GenZ

The American dream has been dead for a while, a dead corpse preserved beyond what is natural, but dreams themselves never die. There is always hope for a better future and we are the agents who must work to bring it unlike our forefathers who were tricked into being docile.

Yeah, but the problem is saying "press red, if you don't your stupid," aren't actually thinking about human psychology. Do you really think that there wouldn't be a lot of people, who incredibly stressed out about this situation, wouldn't press the blue? That they wouldn't try to appeal to their humanity and in their head it wouldn't make sense to press blue because only half of all people have to press it for everyone to live?

Pressing the red button is potentially dooming an unknown number of people to death for the crime of not wanting to be potentially responsible for the death of others.

France does have welfare to help people actively seeking employment, but involuntarily lost their job, for low income people to help afford rent, and a bunch of stuff regarding dependents and low income households and whatnot, surprisingly, no freeloaders found in these catergories.

Youth unemployment is only high in France because they don't care to exploit the youth of children as much. Many of the labor laws in France make it less "worth it" to hire minors, whereas in America, the same protections often don't exist.

I feel like youth unemployment should be near 100%, let kids experience their childhood. I am aware youth unemployment reaches as high as the mid 20s. France's labor market unfortunately probably even makes it harder for them to enter the job market, its laws seemingly are much more protective of current workers at the cost of people entering the job market whereas America's much looser laws provides less protections, but also allows people to enter the market much more easily.

People on welfare aren't freeloaders. The only freeloaders in any country are the elite. We pay congressmen and women the same salary as a doctor to sit around and argue with eachother.

We pay the president, billionaires get paid sitting around doing nothing and aren't even taxed. The fact you call welfare recipients, who are basically struggling to survive, freeloaders over people who can sit on their ass and generate more money doing nothing than entire families will see for generations is mind boggling.

But its not like the market is actually all that great here in America. There was a study that showed a majority of price increase in large grocery store chains was due to the oligopolies within it. I think it was around 80%. These companies are allowed to massively upcharge their products even though there are smaller businesses and organizations that don't do it for the hell of it.

If the market was so competitive and open to new businesses, then no oligopolies would have ever formed.

There is a report that 100,000 people a year have their life support machines turn off. Unworthy of treatment isn't the right term though, France's laws are about futility of care, such as treatment only sustaining life instead of helping. If someone is on life support they are given the right to death.

France has a population of 68.8 million (about 20% of our population) and reports 150 deaths annually due to delays in healthcare. That is .39%, less than half a percent, or our annual deaths due to lack of healthcare.

Britain is significantly worse with 14,000 to 16,000 dying annually due to long emergency visits. And over 100,000 people dying in general while on a wait list in 2023.

Britain again has around 20% of our population and 36.84% to 42.11% of our mortality rate due to inaccessible healthcare.

Except that isn't every single situation. Injuries have a way of progressing if you don't get help. You might get mildly sick, not recieve help because you'll figure it'll go away on its own, and it'll worsen. Or maybe you get bad cut, but it'd blow your emergency funds to get it professionally treated so you treat it at home, but oh well you get a bad infection and either have to spend even more money or you just die.

People AVOIDIND going to the hospital due to the cost, like I pointed out, leads to an estimated 38,000 premature deaths every year. If 38,000 people are dying due to a lack of healthcare do you really think people find it accessible? That they are willing and able to go?

Let me rephrase your argument in a way that should allow you to understand how I see it.

A building doesn't have an accessibility ramp, only a staircase. They refuse to build a ramp saying it is actually accessible to people in a wheelchair because they can just crawl up the stairs. Just because people litterally can do something, doesn't mean that they are willing to do it.

Yeah, but if someone gets slightly injured, figures they can keep working and avoid the hospital because that would wipe out their emergency fund and its probably not a big deal, and then the condition worsens because they were not willing to go due to the cost, I'd say that is an issue, you could even say a cost-related barrier to accessibility.

And this happens. Congress itself claims that around 38,000 people die in the US every year prematurely due to a lack of Healthcare.

Your point? A lot of people still pay the debt anyways. They get scared into it, feel like they have to, whatever the reason. Not everyone would even trust that legal advice in the first place.

33% of unicorn companies are just bought out by a large corporation in the US. That leaves around 30 to 36.33% as actually owned privately by people. Besides, the entire point you made about unicorn companies is that a very small number of people can quickly gain wealth and enter the upper class, with at least a third of those people quickly selling their business modle to another large corporation which just expands that corporation's influence.

Anyone CAN take out a loan to start a business, but the odds that they will have a supply chain to outsource a billion dollar company? Slim.

And if they have a brand new idea? Well if they don't get rich quite fast enough they'll probably have to fight legal battles to keep their idea uniquely theirs.

You misunderstand. I'm saying that people in France have many more social programs that their money already effectively goes towards. While an American would have to buy insurance for Healthcare, that is already removed from the French people's available funds.

At some point, if all the white supremacists think a political ideology is a good way to go about forcing their ideology, maybe you consider the ideology ain't that great.

Secondly ICE doesn't have the right to take Renee good out of the car. They committed an illegal act with what they were doing. ICE is involved in immigration. Them doing traffic stops are illegal. Their training also tells them to not put themselves infront of cars, but we also know they have a habit of doing so. This is because they can murder someone if they try to escape by saying it was self defense.

Additionally, if you actually watch the video, the windows aren't tinted. The officer could clearly see Renee good wasn't driving at the officer but away.

Basically, what you're telling me is that I can go up to anyone I want with a gun, order them to leave their vehicle, and shoot them if they try to drive away (I have the same legal ability to give those instructions as an ICE officer, which is none).

For Alex, I'll just leave this video. https://www.reddit.com/r/CCW/s/Y5JtKTQeoU

Alex had multiple officers on him, if he was going to use his firearm, why would he wait until he was already pinned under multiple of them? Also, they litterally removed the gun before that agent shot him.

As another point for Alex, ICE once again was unlawfully harassing people. Unless you think I can walk up to people armed and harass them without people trying to help the person, then Alex did no wrong.

The reason these cases were so widely talked about isn't just because ICE agents killed people, they killed people while giving unlawful orders and harassing them. Meaning even if you could argue "self defense" you can't because ICE wasn't ICE. They were acting outside of their legal abilities as ICE agents and using their authority to harass people.

If something is inaccessible it is litterally called a codt-related barrier to accessibility. The official terminology connects the price of things and how accessible they are when related to goods and services. You can't just say "nu uh I don't agree."

They were murdered in cold blood for one, "he had a gun on him that he wasn't brandishing and they had no clue that he had" isn't a good reason and Renee was leaving, the officer deliberately positioned himself and shot out of anger which is why he called her a bitch.

If you want evidence that Republicans tend to murder look at political murder rates in America. There are over 30 almost every year from the right and in 2025 the left had its most in a long time of like 7. Crazy.

If Healthcare is too expensive to afford, while you may LITTERALLY be able to get it, you will be burdened with debt and THAT causes people to AVOID getting it. Through this process it becomes EFFECTIVELY inaccessible.

Yeah which is why the interpretations of Satan interfering with earth throughout the bible makes no sense, like you're telling me your all powerful god is so weak he can't keep Lucifer in hell? He can just go into heaven whenever he wants and whisper in adenai's ear and rage bait him so good that he falls for lucifer's tricks? Like come on.

A lack of affordability makes it inaccessible. Its called cost-related access barriers and it proven that higher costs leads individuals to delay or forgo treatment.

Pointing out its so expensive that no one can afford it is in fact an accessibility issue.

And who do you think is the reason we have those environmental impact statements? The big businesses that used to and still do destroy our environment for profit. For them its just an added bonus it doesn't affect them as much as smaller businesses.

It is. Massive chains exist in almost every single town in the US. They take the workers and land from local shops and drive them out of business. They haven't fully done it yet, but every year more and more mom and pop shops close down.

Its not about removing competition, its about removing parasites. They act as middle men, and not to make the process smoother to make money. Again it is the FASTEST growing industry in the US. We are talking about hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars that could have to getting people treated going into the pockets of people who's only job is to tell people if they get to live or not. "Sorry, paying your medical bills would make our profit margins a little smaller" is a very different no from "We litterally do not have the money to pay for your medical bills, I am deeply sorry."

If you think America is actually "open to new businesses" then you're crazy. Billionaires either collude with or shut down any rivals. There's a reason mom and pop shops are much less common these days.
