Everyone wants to love their country. But, unfortunately, all countries have their issues; their pros and cons. As Americans, one of the best ways to acknowledge our problems but also maintain our sanity is to tell jokes or make memes about the nation’s problems.
Hey, I Can’t Afford That!
If you assumed there will be a lot of healthcare jokes on this list, congratulations — you’re absolutely right! This is but the first, and it’s a joke many Americans understand. Unlike a lot of other countries, there’s a very big bill that comes with riding in an ambulance.
If you happened to be unconscious from an accident and someone called an ambulance for you, you’d wake up to a huge medical bill that you had no say-so in. Needless to say, that sucks, even if we can laugh about this joke.
You Guys Get to Retire?
One of the core tenants of American life is that you work — a lot. In many countries, it’s expected for almost everyone to be able to retire. In America, that’s seen as something that only happens if you work yourself to the bone.
A lot of these jokes will compare our fine nation to our other first-world peers, which isn’t really a surprise considering how much better off they are in many of the ways we’ll be mocking.
