t EMS is often? usually? a service of your local government in the US.

wow awesome. no one cares what level of beurocracy they are getting fucked by.

This is basically

Weed is legal in the united states

Yeah no. Not fucking federally. Not everywhere. Until that service is done the way the civilised world does it, you guys need to shut the fuck up

It's not that I disagree that our system is shit, it's more that it seems puritanical to require the US to be totally standardized across all 50 states. We're 50 different states because we don't like each other, and the animosity is growing. It's enough to maintain the union with crazy red states trying to role back rights and illegally imprison people.

I don't see Europeans standardizing social programs across all the different countries within the EU. Germany was loathe to even lend money to Greece following the 2008 recession.

no it isn't. We expect the same from other countries like brazil or indonesia, india, china or russia.

The EU is very much not a country.
