What is your favorite thing about living in the United States? For me, it is that it is acceptable to start up a conversation with a random stranger about any mundane topic. Whether you are standing in line in the store, sitting in the park, riding a train, etc., it seems to be OK to just start talking. Of course, religion and politics should be avoided, but this rule applies in almost all contexts. I understand that I might be considered weird in Finland and other European countries.
It’s where my cat lives.
I’ve lived in the US my whole life, and I would consider it pretty weird if a total stranger started talking to me about some random topic unrelated to the immediate situation. Sure, “this is a really slow line” might be ok, but “aren’t model trains cool?” might get me to start looking for another line. I don’t think I remember anything like that ever happening.
Freedom!
Or at least it was. 
Not so into Freedumb.
That it contains California. As long as the current shitshow continues, I’m a Californian first.
Seeking out new life…and new civilizations.
To boldly go into restaurants where I’ve never been before.
Come on, try it, you can buy it, you can leave it next week, yeah
Somebody gimme a cheeseburger
Probably the fact that we invest so much in R&D. We take R&D much more seriously than most european nations, and as a result the US is a hotbed of cutting edge science. We also have the world’s best tertiary educational system (at least when it comes to top level colleges and universities. Not so much with trade schools).
The geography is nice, pretty much any climate you want you can find in the US. If you like snow you can find areas that snow, if you hate snow you can find areas that almost never snow. If you like heat there are hot areas, if you like cold there are cold areas. Mountains, plains, deserts, wetlands, etc.
The incredible scenery in the Western third of the country.
I can speak the (dominant) language.
It’s where @Moriarty’s cat lives.
Otherwise … I’d so be outta’ here.
I like that it’s a place where people don’t bat an eye about race (usually,) in the sense that you can have people of 20 different ethnicities all speaking fluent English and nobody thinks there’s anything odd about it.
After visiting England and Ireland a few years ago, the abundance of public rest rooms and the ability to walk into a business and use theirs without necessarily being a customer.
Also (generally) safe food and drinking water no matter where you eat.
Agreed.
I’ll have to get back to you after November to tell you if I really have any favorite - other than this is where my friends and family live. For me I suspect Canada would be far preferable - just based on better health care and fewer guns alone - if only it were not colder.
It’s colder than much of the US, except the northern US midwest, but it’s getting warmer and parts of it are quite tolerable even for those allegic to cold weather – the BC coast, southern Ontario, and the Maritimes. The southernmost parts of Ontario have a lot of vineyards and these days make some very respectable wine indeed, partly due to improved grape varietals, but also due to climate change. 
It’s true that I’ve been ranting in the Pit about all the snow, but that’s the La Lina effect producing lots of precipitation (some of which has been rain). We don’t usually get very much snow in this area.
Yeah, being from the Chicago area, I’m sure I could find a tolerable Canadian clime. Just hard to imagine moving anywhere north of where it is not predicted to get above freezing for the next 10 days…
New England and New Orleans.
That’s all I got.
Probably the food, especially where I live, in Metro Detroit. You can have any kind of cuisine you want and it’s probably authentic. We have the best Middle Eastern food around here.
By which I mean to say, I love our immigrant heritage.
I love Michigan nature, too. It’s beautiful here in the fall, and reasonable in the summer.
Hmm. Maybe I’m a statist too. I love Michigan.
