An American in a Strange Land

An American in a Strange Land

I heard it often, traveling around Europe as a journalist. I even heard it from an immigration officer at Gatwick Airport outside London, who teased me as he looked at my passport. I was an American abroad, which meant being held accountable for the strange and fevered state of my homeland, which meant facing some version of the question "What is going on in the United States?"

    Long read is right. I got part way through this two days ago and haven't had a chance to finish it yet!

    Pretty interesting. As a European, the US has always baffled me. You guys have so much poverty in the richest country on the planet and so much homelessness in a city full of homes. Bizarre...
