Most of our US politicians are also shady and very crooked. Very much in it for the money they can get from special interest groups. Ron Desantis is an example - he doesn't care about anyone, and he constantly tries to pass laws to hurt LGBTQ people just because it pleases his followers. He's really a scumbag.
America had the potential to be a great country, certainly it had the right idea - but as usual, people are crooked and untrustworthy and have ruined it completely.
I read the news also, and it's a sure way to get totally depressed about the world and what is going on. I think man's natural inclinication is to make unhappiness for each other. There are some good people, but they are very far between. Hope it all goes well for you there in spite of all this.
