Savez-vous que cette situation est drôle?
Because I am having this conversation in a language that is not my mother tounge without the use of google translation or any other application or gadget.
Seriously what you wrote made me laugh. So I will just say one more thing...
If the United States is doing so financially great... I have stack of unpaid accounts from United States based companies and indivudals, some dating back to 2008. Do you think I can send them to the White House and have your president collect the money owed to me?

The average person did not fly across the country or world, now they do. I am sure when you were younger they did not have much in the way of TV, cell phones, computers etc. You drove shitty cars on shitty roads. I understand that things have changed but in almost every category it is for the better. Not sure how it is in France(Edit: Canada) but I assume they have benefited like the rest of the world.
Congrats on knowing a second language. Your grand children do too.
