Your posting history suggests to me that you know the answer already. At the very least, you have a much more intimate knowledge of US laws and politics than your question, which is posed as a complete outsider, implies.<p>For example, you post about political &quot;ponerology (study of evil in politics)&quot; ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10548272" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10548272</a> ), and bring up economics often. You also have a non-trivial knowledge of US political history, as with this comment at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10404379" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10404379</a> :<p>&gt; That&#x27;s false, because the Democratic party today encapsulates both the old Republican and the old Democratic party. Hillary Clinton is essentially an Eisenhower Republican (if you place her into any European country she&#x27;s in their conservative party), and Warren&#x2F;Sanders are the left wing group.<p>&gt; The republican party of today is essentially a business lobby masquerading as a party. Place it into any European country, and it will be a far right extremist group.<p>Did you learn American political history from going to school at Dartmouth? I think it&#x27;s odd you didn&#x27;t learn about any of the pollution laws during that time.<p>You also have pretty firm ideas on the topic already, based on your comments at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10142290" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10142290</a>:<p>&gt;  The US is a dystopia, no surprises there. What a shame that all humans are anymore are an outpost of corporate greed.<p>and at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10440304" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10440304</a>  :<p>&gt;  The more I think about it, the more I believe that the United States is the worst place to live if you are poor.<p>&gt; There are places that are poorer, hell I&#x27;m from a third world country. But I&#x27;ve never seen anyone in the third world show utter contempt for the poor. No one keeps reminding the poor that it&#x27;s their fault. We call them &quot;unfortunate&quot;, Americans call them &quot;losers&quot;.<p>(I&#x27;ll note that two people, one with experience from India - where you are from - and Bangladesh, and the other with experience from Islamabad, disagree.)<p>I see you are familiar with being downvoted, such as like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10411502" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10411502</a> where you propose &quot;We should engage in a culling of humans.&quot; Then again, perhaps I am simply part of the &quot;political-myopia of tech culture&quot; that you bemoaned about at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10516056" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10516056</a> .
