    You are absolutely right, there is so much USA could do to improve society.
    But the only thing that really counts for half the population, is to ease taxes on the 1%.
    IDK why, but that’s apparently a very popular thing for both average and poor people in USA?

    I used to have hope for USA, thinking they always turn in the right direction eventually, but since George W Bush was elected for a 2nd term, that hope has been chipped away. Obama did provide a glimmer of hope, but followed by horrible to mediocre to horrible again, so shortly after Bush. That’s a very bad average, and the tendency has been tracking towards worse for a long time now. Hopefully USA is at the bottom right now, but my hopes for that are near zero.
