    It’s also nice when they come into our country-specific subs to tell us how things are in the US, as we get so little news about the US.

      I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country’s politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

      I seek out the non-US perspective. Sometimes you need someone else to show you that the Emperor has no clothes.

        Or sometimes just to have a sane conversation.

        Given practically any forward looking or quality of life topic: here it’s dominated by politics, illegal program cuts, incompetent leaders selected only for personal loyalty, breaking it for the sake of breaking it. Can’t we discuss things like adults?
