30-funny-memes-about-life-in-usa

Europe may be as beautiful as it wants to be, but America has a special charm. Maybe movie propaganda worked too well (that's probably a factor). Maybe we, as a people, have dreamed too much about the arrival of the Americans. It is certain that for Eastern Europe, America is beautiful and must be seen at least once in its life.


Life in America memes


But the truth is, we can't give that answer about life in America that many people expect to receive. Because no one can define life in a country as large and diverse as America. It's like an American asking you what life is like in Europe. The answer differs a lot depending on the area where you live. Just as you can't compare life in Romania with life in Germany or life in Sweden with life in Italy, you can't give a general answer about life in America.


1. Explication


2. Kids around the world


3. Universal health


4. Free health care


Each state is so different that the experience can be completely different in one city than another. Even in California, where we live, the experience is completely different in Silicon Valley than in Los Angeles.


So we can't say what life is like in America, I can only say what life is like here. And I'm sure every person who moves to the United States sees things differently, in terms of life experience so far.


Living in America has its ups and downs, just like living in any other country. For us, there are more pluses than minuses and that's why we decided to stay here. But we are not going to stay here forever.


Favorable working and living conditions, high economic indicators and advanced technology attract millions of visitors to America every year in search of a fabulous life. Many people remain illegal in the country. Their lives are difficult and even dangerous, because illegal immigrants lose all the opportunities and social benefits necessary for life.


5. Actual pandemic


6. Say what you want


7. Coaches


While Americans and green card holders can live, taking advantage of every opportunity in the social and civil rights category. There is no social difference between Native Americans and residents, they are equal and have the same rights and civic duty.


In terms of living standards, the United States is the country with the highest rates. The conclusions about quality are made based on the facts about the salaries of specialists, working conditions, benefits and social guarantees, medical care, life expectancy, quality of education, etc. But, as in any situation, in addition to the positive ones, there are always negative aspects.


In order to assess the standard of living in a given country, those factors that sufficiently meet the different needs of the population are taken into account. The higher the quality indicators of social security, the quality of housing and utilities, the more stable wages and the diversity of the cultural environment and services, the higher the quality of living.

 

The United States is a leader in population growth. This is primarily due to the fact that life in the United States is associated with comfortable conditions and excellent health care. But the main population growth, of course, is immigration.


8. When you live in America


9. SuperBowl


10. Spider man


The unemployment rate is considered low, but these figures are unequal. In New York, this figure is very high, because the difference between rich and poor is impressive. The presence of higher education and experience plays a crucial role in employment.


The more prestigious the education and the profession, the higher and more stable the income. Good specialists are appreciated here and do not have to worry that they will be fired suddenly. Managers, lawyers, doctors and TV presenters have the highest incomes. That is, representatives of those professions that are associated with the social and entertainment sphere.


The state welcomes and supports private business in every way possible, and the consumer market is widely represented, so that everyone can find a niche in the business sector. At the same time, even ordinary people with regular vacancies earn quite well.


11. Thats real life


12. United Nations


13. Nothing done


Prices for education in educational institutions are quite affordable, but the more prestigious the institution, the higher the cost. The tuition fee for higher education fluctuates in the range of tens of thousands of dollars a year. To obtain a specialized degree, it is enough to study, both at college and at university.

 

Education in the United States is also open to foreigners; there are a lot of programs for them, including exchange programs. Therefore, anyone who wants to stay in this country can live in America and get an education there.


The food here is of excellent quality and at affordable prices. Good and tasty food can be afforded by people with almost any income. However, food in restaurants is much more expensive. The availability of the products is due to the fact that the state supports the farms in all possible ways. For people who want to dedicate their lives to working the land and farming, there are profitable government programs.


America is also famous for its affordable and nutritious fast food. As a result, many Americans are overweight.

An important condition for living comfortably in the United States is insurance, which is very common in the country as a mandatory and recommended service. Insurance covers life and health, then movable and immovable property.


14. President of America

 

15. American picture


In large offices, the employer provides health insurance for their employees. This is how you care about your employees. And especially prestigious corporations offer insurance not only for their employees but also for their families. Small companies also protect their employees by offering them discounted insurance.


For the poor in the country there is absolutely free insurance. Children under 19 and people of retirement age after 65 fall into the category of state social insurance. The Medicare program is designed specifically for the elderly, which includes medical consultations and outpatient care. Thus, in America, they care for those who have lived in the country for many years, working conscientiously for the good of the state.


In fact, the main features of American nationals are friendship with strangers and ease of communication. These people are instructed to be polite to their guests, and when they answer the standard question, "Do you like it here?" Ask anywhere in Europe, they will follow the rule: “If you can't say something good, you better not. to answer at all ”. And, therefore, the standards of honesty that other nations profess, Americans interpret in their own way, considering such "honesty" as a sign of rudeness.


Usually, in America, people move freely both geographically and socially. They easily get to know each other and make new friends. True, most American homes are still separated by a fence. And even such invisible barriers, such as the lawn, are properly perceived and respected: one can have a friendly relationship with a neighbor in a home and, at the same time, not show interest in his business. And although this dividing line is very thin, it still exists as a border.


16. Two feet

 

17. American walls


18. Doing great


19. USA history


20. Confused screaming


21. World tour


22. Unrealistic

 

23. Imperial system


24. Vice versa


25. Healthcare


26. You what?


27. Australians


28. Tap water


29. Spicy food


30. Houses in America

2021-stimulus-check-memes-50-funny-jokes-and-tweets-to-mark-the-arrival-of-the-1400-payment

Democrats have taken another step in pushing $ 1.9 trillion in aid to President Biden, as the House Methods and Means Committee said yesterday it had approved key measures, including checks for $ 1,400.

 

Several committees are working on the bill, and part of the Ways and Means committee's draft includes provisions for: approving direct payments of $ 1,400; extend unemployment benefits and temporary federal benefits until August 29, 2021; increases weekly benefit from $ 300 to $ 400; extension of tax credits for employees and families; supports health insurance and improves access to health care; and to protect the elderly in nursing homes, the statement said.

 

House President Nancy Pelosi said in her weekly press conference yesterday that she expects the commissioning increase to end this week. Increasing the membership of the committee is a key formal step the committee ultimately takes to move the bill forward, according to the Congress website.

 

The next steps, according to Pelosi, are to send him to the Budget Committee next week to do their bidding, then to the Rules Committee, and then up, she said in her speech. Bemorepanda collected some memes.

20-key-facts-about-area-51-that-you-should-know-bemorepanda

Area 51 has been in the public eye over time through military activities and, obviously, through conspiracies related to aliens.

 

In recent months, Area 51 has been in the public eye because of interns who planned to storm it. Over time, the area has attracted public attention through the military activities that have taken place here and the conspiracy theories that certain individuals have maintained.

 

Bemorepanda has created a list of 20 facts about everything you need to know about Area 51.

 

1. The name

The name Area 51 was given by officials who oversaw nuclear tests in the 1950s and was used on military maps of the region. For these tests was created in the desert, 100 kilometers from Las Vegas, Nevada Test Site, now known as the Nevada National Security Site. In these areas delimited by the military authorities, several hundred nuclear weapons tests took place, of which about 100 took place outdoors.

 

2. UFOs

To a greater or lesser extent, Area 51 has been in the public eye since the nuclear tests. However, worldwide fame came in the 1980s, when Robert Lazar told a Las Vegas television station that he was working on S-4, a base near Area 51 as part of a flying saucer reverse engineering project. .

 

When these statements were made public, they sparked a growing interest in the activities taking place in Area 51. However, not long after, the whole story that Robert Lazar built was dismantled. Thus, investigators were able to prove that he did not work at Los Alamos Laboratories and that he had not graduated from MIT or Caltech.

 

3. Access forbidden

Currently, the US Army uses the Area for aircraft testing and therefore its entire perimeter is continuously patrolled. Colloquially, these guards are called by the locals and the press "camouflaged boys" because of the equipment they use. Unfortunately for the military who are part of these patrols, this activity proves to be extremely dangerous, some of them claiming that they suffer from breathing problems due to the compounds used to make the aircraft "invisible" on radar.

 

4. Landing

Landing, in turn, has attracted the attention of people interested in conspiracy theories. In a 1974 book, "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle," Bill Kaysing argued that all images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were made in Area 51.

 

Theories about a false landing have been dismantled over the decades, the only link between Area 51 and the Apollo program is testing some of the space equipment in Nevada.

 

5. Military base

Area 51 is currently part of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which is under the authority of the Nellis Base of the United States Air Force. Officials in this part of the US military say the military base covers about 1.2 million hectares.

 

6. Functions of Area 51

The Nevada Test and Training Range, of which the Area is a part, is used to train military pilots for combat scenarios. In the past, this base has been used to test and design military technologies: airplanes, helicopters and drones. One of the most famous "products" of this base is the U-2 spy plane, used for high altitude espionage.

 

7. The desert community

While the U.S. military was working on U-2 spy planes, engineer Kelly Johnson proposed building a settlement for the staff working on the project and their families. This place was called Paradise Ranch.

 

8. Conspiracies

For ufologists and those who believe in various conspiracy theories, Area 51 is proving to be an endless source of mysteries. The truth is that the lack of transparency that military activities and espionage raise is at the source of these conspiracy theories. Naturally, the multitude of resources that the American government allocates to this base and the relative silence regarding the activities that take place there raise a series of questions whose answers can be transformed into conspiracy theories.

 

According to declassified CIA documents, most of the UFOs that were reported in the area were, in fact, U-2 aircraft under test.

 

9. Continuous activity

After the U-2 program, Area 51 was used for other military espionage programs. These projects include the Lockheed A-12 Oxcart and D-21 Tagboard aircraft.

 

Satellite images show that Area 51 is still used today, with the addition of various buildings and facilities to the base. In 2016, images from Google Earth showed that a new runway was built, with security experts believing that it would be used for drones.

 

10. It is not a tourist attraction

As the last few months have shown, internet users are more than happy to enter the territory of Area 51. However, any attempt to enter the territory of this base is discouraged by the military. Those who enter without permission risk six months in prison and $ 1,000 fines.

 

11. Soviet engineering

Although there is no evidence that Alien 51 experimented with extraterrestrial technology, documents declassified in 2013 showed that the United States obtained and tested Soviet MiG fighter jets in the 1970s and 1980s.

 

12.The Roswell phenomenon

However, the public perception that the US government is hiding evidence of alleged extraterrestrial visits to Earth also originated in Roswell, New Mexico, more than 70 years ago.

 

In July 1947, a flying object made of thin metal foil crashed near a farm in Roswell during a storm. The Air Force quickly picked up the remains on the spot for research. A local newspaper, the Roswell Daily Record, published an article about a "flying saucer" or "flying saucer" found on the farm.

 

13.The Mogul Project

The Mogul project successfully discovered a nuclear activity of the Russians, until it was closed in 1950. The balloons used were made of polyethylene, according to the Times, a material unknown at the time and which was the basis for the release of meteorological equipment into the atmosphere, later. The balloons were not very suitable for monitoring nuclear explosions, but they proved to be very good for radio communications.

 

14.U-2 spy plane project

From the documents declassified by the CIA, it results that in the period 1954-1974 two spy plane projects were developed: the U-2 aircraft project and the Oxcart project (construction of the Lockheed A-12 spy planes).

 

An interesting fact reported by the CIA document on U-2 planes is President Eisenhower's desire to recruit only foreign nationals for espionage missions. In the event of a U.2 plane crash, the US could have denied its involvement in the activity carried out by the respective foreign pilot.

 

15.Drone program

Area 51 is currently undergoing a program to build new drones, military equipment that has become increasingly in demand by the U.S. military and intelligence services, especially in the war on terror that has followed terrorist attacks in the United States. September 11, 2001. The American drone program came to the fore in 2002, through the tragic event in Yemen, where a drone accidentally killed 13 people who were part of a wedding procession.

 

16.Existence of Area 51

The US government officially recognized the existence of the base only in 2013, with the publication by the CIA of declassified documents on the U-2 and A-12 reconnaissance and espionage aircraft programs.

 

17.Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us

The internet has been invaded by Area 51 memes inspired by a joke Facebook event to take over the secretive military site and find the supposed aliens kept inside. The event, called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us, was planned for Sept. 20, and so far 1.5 million people have signed on.

 

18.Location of Area 51

The base is huge, covering over 125,000 hectares with at least 22 runways. The land was chosen for its isolated location, and for the large areas of perfectly flat land, which allowed the construction of long tracks, many of them unpaved.

 

19.The secret around Area 51

The secrecy surrounding Area 51 goes far beyond these proactive measures. In 1994, a group of civilian contractors and their widows filed a lawsuit alleging that they had been exposed to hazardous materials that had been burned in an open ditch. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence after the government refused to publish details of those materials, claiming it would harm national security. This was reinforced by a presidential order signed by Bill Clinton.

 

20.There is no real fence around area 51

At such a heavily guarded facility by the US military, it would appear that Zone 51 would have a physical boundary to hold citizens. After all, it is not a very safe military installation if you can get through the protected area just by a simple walk.

 

That's right. Area 51 has no fence at all and we refer to "always". While some of its indoor installations are protected by perimeters, the entire base has no physical boundaries. This does not mean that it is wise to just enter, as there are magnetic sensors and watchtowers in many places that would surely pull you if you try.

22. During the American Civil War, women in the southern states began to gather without any official reason to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers. In April 1886, the women's associations of Columbia and Georgia decided to commemorate the victims once a year. However, there was no single day - the feasts of remembrance in the southern states were held on different days throughout the spring and early summer. This tradition has been partially preserved today. Nine southern states officially recognize Confederate Memorial Day, and also celebrate the birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and the death of General Thomas "Stonewell" Jackson.

What exactly is the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day?

 

23. After the end of the Civil War, the northerners decided to adopt from the southerners the tradition of commemorating the dead on a certain day. In 1868, General John A. Logan, in his order, declared May 30 to be a memorial day for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the Civil War. He called the holiday Decoration Day, because on this day the Americans had to decorate with flowers the graves of those killed in the war, "whose bodies now lie in almost every city and village cemetery." According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that did not fall on the anniversary of any Civil War battle, although some historians believe this date was chosen because flowers are in full bloom across the country these days.

24. Following the edict of John A. Logan, the graves at Arlington Cemetery were decorated for the first time on May 30, with more than five thousand people attending the ceremony. In 1873, New York became the first state in America to officially recognize this holiday. In 1890 it was recognized by all northern states, but the southern states still tried to show their hostility, and commemorated their dead on other dates.

25.Since 1971, when America was deeply involved in the Vietnam War, Memorial Day has officially become a national US holiday. Only then did the holiday get its current name and from Decoration Day became Memorial Day. Then the holiday was made "floating" - it began to be celebrated on the last Monday of May. This decision was not without controversy - groups of veterans were worried that the long weekend would distort the essence of the holiday and turn it into just a day of relaxation. Many organizations are still lobbying for a return to the May 30 celebration.

22. During the American Civil War, women in the southern states began to gather without any official reason to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers. In April 1886, the women's associations of Columbia and Georgia decided to commemorate the victims once a year. However, there was no single day - the feasts of remembrance in the southern states were held on different days throughout the spring and early summer. This tradition has been partially preserved today. Nine southern states officially recognize Confederate Memorial Day, and also celebrate the birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and the death of General Thomas "Stonewell" Jackson.

23. After the end of the Civil War, the northerners decided to adopt from the southerners the tradition of commemorating the dead on a certain day. In 1868, General John A. Logan, in his order, declared May 30 to be a memorial day for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the Civil War. He called the holiday Decoration Day, because on this day the Americans had to decorate with flowers the graves of those killed in the war, "whose bodies now lie in almost every city and village cemetery." According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that did not fall on the anniversary of any Civil War battle, although some historians believe this date was chosen because flowers are in full bloom across the country these days.
