    Yes, it’s terrible.

    But living even a little bit in the USA and dying is still a better situation than most of the planet.

      I don’t disagree, my only addition is that we should set our standards higher than that. We went from generations of “We’re the best!” (whether true or not) to “Well we aren’t the worst…”

      I just wish more people could notice the slow changes like that which I think are indicative of a need for systemic change.

      But yeah, while I don’t endorse your message, you aren’t wrong.

        Yes. I also don’t want to say that because there’s worse in other places that the US problems aren’t legitimate.
