John F. Kennedy once said: "Change is the law of the life. Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future".

Making one think sometimes that all attempts to change in the United States are only heard by deaf ears.


Redditor swansonite456 was curious to hear what people believe Americans are unable, or unwilling, to hear, leading them to ask:
"What are Americans not ready to hear?"

When people become set in their ways, they understandably become less and less amenable to change.
