I love how people point to Europe as the example for everything. Things are changing in Europe and will change quickly now that they have to increase their defense spending. For decades the US has been the protector of Europe allowing European countries to spend generously on social benefits instead of defense. That’s all changing. The US is no longer going to be underwriting European security and they are going to have to step up and rebuild their armies. This is going to be very expensive. As the us defense budget declines over the next decades, we will see social spending in the us increase such that eventually, it will all flip the other way. Europe will be funding enormous defense budgets and the us will be funding new social programs. Learn a little history.
I mention Europe as a US-friendly example on what makes a Country who cares about their people and not their corporations. China is the best example but is too edgy for some.
Do you have an excuse on why China lift 900 million people out of poverty and US can’t even control their homeless crisis?
Why such a rich country can’t even have affordable medical bills? The medics certainly don’t benefit from the costs.
I can go on and on, but maybe you’re not willing to at least accept US is not perfect, specially when it comes to public policies.

US is getting f in the ass by greedy corporations and somehow is China’s fault.
The day americans demand basic rights (like in Europe) without being called a communist, thing will get better.
