The people saying the US has huge cultural diversity are killing me. The US has terrible cultural diversity for a country of its size. The fact that everyone speaks the same language with little differences between dialects should clue you in on the relative lack of cultural diversity. Mexico has more cultural diversity within it despite being a quarter of the US’s size. An actual culturally diverse country would be something like Nigeria, which is culturally three different countries stapled together with hundreds of ethnic groups with their own unique culture and their own language within each of those three subcountries. Nigeria is also a tenth the size of the US.

It’s very pretty. Like there are truly, wonderously beautiful places in the us. There’s genuine wilderness. Not much, but there’s some. The people can be very cool. There’s a lot of good food.

I drove through the Rockies a couple years ago (California -> Nevada -> Utah -> Colorado) and it was breathtaking. Every hour the terrain changed shape and color into something more beautiful. I never saw anything like it in the Bible Belt where I grew up. Literally all I did was drive on the interstate to get to my destination, yet it felt like a vacation.

It’s a gorgeous drive. You’re in the desert the whole time, but I never knew there were so many kinds of desert.

Diversity, both of people and geography. You can find a much wider spectrum of people (ethnicities, etc.) than in many other countries, and experience almost every biome the planet has to offer with some truly spectacular natural features.

We are, of course, doing our best to get rid of both those positive things.
