bogleech:When you hear anything about America’s “economic growth” or “wealth” they are measuring by business and just assuming it benefits everyone here, but we have an actual higher ratio of poor to rich people than almost anywhere else. We have the highest costs and highest debt for both medical care and education. We also have the largest percentage of people in prison, mostly for nonviolent charges, and more *ways* to go to prison than the global norm. We also do not measurably have “the most freedom” of any country, if you can even figure out how that’s supposed to be defined, but the idea sure gets hammered into us our whole lives. Americans both right and left genuinely think they’d be less free living in ANY other place on the planet. We’re never actually taught any examples of how.Funny as hell to see the notes full of arguing with debkorvelus, the same user who outright said that water should never be a human right. -- source link
