Attracting tourists so that the money can be spent on building stadiums for the World Cup, meanwhile out immigrants keep destroying cities every time my country gets involved in a non-friendly match.
And that country is not in Europe.

Killing brown people. Incredibly skilled at it.
Jesus, Lemmy, this should be a positive thread not just an opportunity to complain
Yea, didn't see it going this way either.
Gun violence. Police murder. Cover-ups.
Protect rich people at all costs
Not even protect, really, but also “ensure they experience not the slightest discomfort nor the smallest penalty of law, and make sure their ever-expanding demand for luxury is exceeded in every measure.”
~guillotines are good for the environment~
Kill (or help kill) people who are on average more poor and brown than we are.
Many things. For example, every single president during my lifetime has been almost universally liked by everyone in the country - kind of like a lifetime of Obamas.
A more recent example of something they do well is when I started my business. I received nearly 10 hours of one-on-one personal guidance on how to do it, completely free. They’re also paying me around 600 euros a month for a year to help me get started.
Thanks Obama.
Support Israel.
Ha, try guessing.

Corruption
Ha! You must be from... Shit, so many options.
Australia is super good at dryland cropping, growing wheat where there's fuck all water.
Also, digging up red soil and flogging it to China at a rate that you can almost feel the earth's axis shifting.
Maintain global dominance by attracting and keeping STEM workers
Preferential voting. Compulsory voting.
Corruption, and running enterprises into the ground with. Our countries official power utility, our postal service, our railways, our police as examples. You know , the stuff we kind of need as citizens. Edit: Our taxation is world class though.
Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(

Incarcerate citizens.
Historically we have had good education and OK healthcare. The trend is downward.
The military has been really good with purchasing used but good equipment for cheap.
The foreign policy has been consistent, and even opponents to military alliance pushed for NATO when Pootin screwed the pooch.
Destroying public services.
Welfare for giant corporations
Fucking the working class.
Parks and interstate freeways
Syrup. Affable. Eh?
They handled the pandemic well with regards to small businesses
50% of your normal monthly income, free, no questions asked. That was great lol, sat on my arse for six months
Also, 1% of my taxes get put into a training fund that I can spend on any kind of training I want. Doesn't have to be relevant to my business at all
My county government office is a well oiled machine. Paying for taxes like car tags and property is a no-brainer, in person or online. Last time I got a new driver's license I was in and out, 10 minutes flat, including the walk to and from my truck. Prices for all of the above are plenty fair.
Steal, corrupt, kill, erase, and destroy. Thats about all the country im ashamed to be a citizen of does

To find new ways to obstruct the lives of the everyday citizens, while letting both local and international monetary elites to do what they want.
Pulling shit out of the ground and inflating a housing bubble.

Taxes. They have an incredible talent to raise new taxes.
