We’re also #1 in per capita health care spending, and it’s #1 by a lot – literally twice as much as any other country. This goes fantastically well with that “worst in the developed world in healthcare outcomes” bit.
Capitalism is such a scam.
Wanting decent healthcare, education, life expectancy and a free press is “communism” according to Trump. But he is all in favour of giving pardons to some very unpleasant people - so I guess they’re happier!
Yeah, we’re #1 at gifting our oligarch overlords those amenities because they live here? It’s a shame they’re thankless garbage.
One of the many problems is that it’s also #1 on GDP. Therefore GDP must be the One True Metric of a country’s success. Therefore it makes sense to shun any policy that might lower GDP.
GDP was meant to make the US look better than it actually does from day 1. Economists warned about GDP’s many issues and inaccuracies immediately, but it was still pushed through. The official reason is that no other metrics were available, but it’s not entirely true, because the concept of GDP PPP was created a decade or two before GDP nominal.
The Great US Empire is exactly that. It is #1 in projecting power and using gunboat diplomacy. And since WW2, that was all it needed.
A nation that can’t adapt to the changing world
Thank god MAGA can’t read
Kids cant read anymore either. We pay our teachers less than babysitter pay rates, cut school funding and put cops in schools who run away and cower in the parking lots at the first sign of trouble.
Save us from American Exceptionalism.
but but the dow jones!!
Quite frankly, I am OVER IT.
and none of that will change with the current administration or any offshoot thereof
imo, it’s often last in citizens who believe ranked statistics.
I mean no where else does gun deaths quite as silly. I mean where else is there a non zero number of people a year get shot due to storing loaded firearms in an oven?
How else are you supposed to dry them?
I assuming… wait… Are they storing them?
Loaded as well.
Remember during the pandemic when people were accidentally killing their sour dough starters because they accidentally left them to warm in the oven and another member of the household decided to make pizza. It happened A LOT.
People being stupid with an oven, an every place sort of stupid and mostly not harmful (other then the odd sour dough/house fire).
People being stupid with an armed oven, only in america.
More guns than people. Checkmate, libs
Wow! We’re number one at so many things! We’re number one, we’re number one!
I remember when republicans used dictatorshios to defend their ideology
