When traveling overseas, when you spot an obese person…98% of the time its an American. And they will complain they have to walk in order to use mass transit and they can’t find their favorite American restaurants AND they don’t speak English(American) in this “foreign” country!
wow, a perfect description of a local guy who drives a hummer, except that he likes to park it on the narrow street in front of his bar, pretty much closing the road to traffic…
The ‘hamburger’ came from Germany. “Fries” aren’t French OR American; they’re Belgian. Perhaps the tires may or may not be USA-made; rubber was first discovered by the Aztecs and used in their ball games. Bread goes back at least 8000 years to the Near East. The fuel in his tank (although tar was used to extract naphtha in Roman times) actually goes back 65 million years, may be the one truly American item. Even the name ‘America’ came from Amerigo Vespucci, a medieval Italian geographer.
I commend you on your research. But, I have seen hundreds of those guys who have worked construction , dug ditches, fixed power lines, landscaping, automotive line work, etc. They have families and are good providers. Just count your blessings.
