Well now, that's the first thing I've heard of thanksgiving here haha.
And well, I did spend more time in America, but I'm not exactly American, my nationality itself is Australian but I identify with America honestly.
Living in Australia, we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving here, which kinda sucks considering I spent 8 years in the US and it was always more...festive.
If I'm not wrong, isn't your social security money generally reinvested for something else? Honestly the system is so convoluted half the time I don't understand what's going on.
