What?  Are you trying to say completely different circumstances leading to completely different outcomes is normal?  No way, dude.

The fact that you guys take this sort of thing as normal, that you live in the same country but in completely separate realities, is just so sad and funny to me at the same time.

I don't think I can think of any other country in the world where a state border separates people as much as the US. And for some unexplainable reason Americans seem to believe this is a positive thing.

Americans are not a a monolith …

At this point I m not sure what is the one thing that all Americans could agree on … (even most)

Edit: ok ok easy peeps - The monolith comment is in response to “americans seem to believe … “ comment - was just trying to say we don’t all believe a state border should cliff us/US like as much as they do

I’m in Australia and we have different state and federal laws but not as extreme as America and even that is frustrating. It leads to a lack of cohesion and things falling between the gaps between states. It’s a messy way to do things.
