          [Scoffs] We aren’t even allowed to conjure demons to destroy entire cities! It’s hard to even get your hands on an Apparatus of Kwalish.

            Have you checked the laws? Even the most recent assault weapons bans don’t restrict demon conjuring, just as the founding fathers intended

        Houston and NY are both large american cities and are complete opposites when it comes to planning. Thing is, most American cities are closer to Houston on the spectrum than to New York, for every Philly theres 2 Kansas Cities if you get what I mean

          Even New York and DC aren’t very good to walk around, though I guess it all depends on what you compare to

        …and expensive enough that you need to be a nobleman or a legendary hero to get it. The cost of the most basic healing potion is enough for a family to eat for a year.

          That’s true! Although I have to believe some clerics take pity on the poor and help heal them. But I guess that just points to the system being broken, I mean you shouldn’t have to rely on the good graces of a benevolent do-gooder. The govt should be providing a herbologist and cleric for every village, free of charge!

    *white Americans maybe. There is a massive amount of the US that English is their second language… But not speaking a second language is really a problem many places.

      Also black Americans. All in all, only 20% of Americans in general, only about 4% of white Americans and 7% of black Americans are bilingual. Compare this to 84% of Germans for example, a far less diverse country, where 38% speak two languages, 29% three languages, 17% even more than three.

      Also, there probably are people earning a living wage doing freelancing in the US. It’s a joke, a two-liner at that. Of course it’s an oversimplification.
