I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

    I think yes we are all more similar than different but as you move north, there is less income inequality and better social services, less graft and corruption.

    Supermarkets in the US are like nowhere else, they are incredible.

      Umm, we have the same stores here in Mexico. Lol Like, they’re stocked to the brim and huge.

      But I will say that I like shopping malls better in Mexico. They feel more authentic, more stylish in a way, and unique to one another. Midwest shopping malls seemed so bland to me for some reason and they all followed the same layout and used similar construction materials.

      Also, I’m not sure about “better social services”. They’re not exactly bad and they are comprehensive. We get plenty of good social services down here. For example, our Senate just passed a bill to create free universal healthcare for pets today that we already had for free or at low cost in other ways. We’re no strangers to varying degrees of socialism.
