America, truly the land of the free and the home of the colander. _single tear_ I, too, living here in this socialist hellhole Finland, strive to one day achieve the level of success of the mighty dental technician, the…wait, what?..Wait, colander is “siivilä”? Shit, I got _two_! And the _double_ safety net of upper-middle class parents _and_ public healthcare! Up yours, capitalist pigdogs!
