FACTS

Ok, you made the claim, now back it up.

What exactly leads you to believe that? Give me all the meaningful things we are #1 at and then we can see just how far ahead of everyone we actually are.

Edit to say, one example you gave as GOAT, couldn't even cut it in the pro ranks

“To the very, very few Americans in here, happy Independence Day.”

This irony of that shirt is the first two are Democrat/liberal and the last one is a result of a lack of self-awareness

Pioneering Space Exploration: The U.S. is the first and only country to successfully land humans on the moon. This mission culminated in 1969 with the Apollo 11 program, demonstrating unprecedented technological and engineering capability.

Global Economic Powerhouse: The United States holds the world's largest national economy, serving as the primary engine for global trade, commerce, and innovation

Scientific and Medical Innovation: U.S. institutions are unparalleled in intellectual achievements, claiming more Nobel Prizes than any other nation. This includes massive investments in Research & Development that have driven biomedical breakthroughs and digitized processes worldwide.

Cultural Dominance: The U.S. is the undisputed leader in mass media and entertainment. As the birthplace of jazz, rock and roll, and rap, and home to the Hollywood entertainment industry, American pop culture remains one of the country's most powerful global exports.

Constitutional Government: America was the first nation to introduce constitutional government to the world. Its enduring framework of checks and balances served as a modern democratic blueprint.

Unrivaled Public Lands: Beyond famous sites like the National Park System, the U.S. protects vast coastal areas, wilderness, and national forests so citizens can freely enjoy nature regardless of income.

plus 20 other things....

Yup. Went to a brewery in an obviously gentrified part of town and it was just tattoos and nose rings all over the place. There were several political stickers around too

I think the "you can leave if you disagree" is what got him fired.

Those three are the only ones worth a shite on your list.

Where are we on the international freedom scale? This is really important

What about education? This is also very important

What about crime and incarceration rates? Also important

We are first in AC, so that is good. I love me some AC.

What about overall happiness scores?

What about governmental fraud and abuse?

Crap, there are a bunch of other areas we can improve upon, but hey...at least we lead in entertainment. Bread at the circus is always awesome.

Yeah I watched it, and still concluded that what he said was not a firing offense.

So your business is tourism and you wouldn't fire a guy who says there are a lot of non Americans on here and if you don't like this country then you can leave? After the video went viral?

There's more to it. If what is being reported is accurate, then the firing is justified.

"Hey tourists from around the world, if you don't happen to think the country you are currently visiting is the greatest, you aren't welcome."

-employee of a company that focuses on tourism

Good call.

I would guess the conductor is probably retired and was bored, so he operates the incline to give him something to do. Old people DGAF

He was fired for stating facts?

The “you can leave if you disagree” was a bridge too far. He deserved to be fired.

I've been to Chattanooga recently and I'm not at all surprised that he was fired. That place has turned into a miniature Asheville, NC.
