In the third world country that I am from the interest rate of student loan is almost 0% and if you can pause the payment when you lose your job or have other big expenses. I thought it was like this everywhere because it makes sense... but obviously that's not the case in the US.…Â

Your healthcare and education system, and gun laws blew my mind but...I am going to defend the US here and say that all countries have their bad sides... I moved to Italy years ago and sure, it's a lovely country, but try to live here as an expat... there are more to it, good and…Â
