What else can I point to, in order to make this case? It’s almost too much to keep track of.
Our infrastructure is crumbling because it was left to rot.
We have the largest prison population in the world, and those prisoners are often farmed out as slave labor.
We have epidemics of suicide, opioid addiction, and loneliness. We consume more anti-depressants each year.
We work longer than our counterparts in other countries, are less healthy, and then die younger.
We are often one “oh shit” moment—a car accident or a burst pipe—away from homelessness. In any given year, about 2.5 million American children experience homelessness.
Remember those measly government benefits we received in 2020? The “stimulus” checks and unemployment benefits? Things are so bad in the US that those paltry handouts were enough to decrease poverty rates:
