What do Americans most envy about Great Britain ?

AbbeyRhode · F
For the time being, anyway, GB cherishes and respects its rich history. The Commies running the U.S. are working to erase our history.

@AbbeyRhode Good point!
Independence from Britain is the most celebrated holiday in the world ? 😁

In Great Britain that number is 35.

My first reaction is that we fought a war 240+ yrs ago so that we didn't have to covet anything from them. We kept what we wanted (some tradition, history, etc) and removed what we didn't want.

It's sort of like asking a 40yo what they envy about the parents they moved away from, after they've got their own house, kids, and career.

They're allowed to have national healthcare. That's all.

Nothing, nada, le rein, nashi, Méiyǒu shé me, and zip. I respect the country and its history, but I don't envy them at all.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
I honestly don’t think Americans envy ANY foreign country. We just don’t. We envy each other .
