When Americans do nice things in their country ... they destroy it and call it communism or "woke"
When Americans are treated nice in a foreign country, they act confused and wonder why their country can't do the same.
As an American I know exactly why my country can’t do the same: Because we are ruled by greedy, short-sighted idiots: the voters.
It's not their fault alone. There are actual people in power -- the closest thing you can get to an actual moustache twirling villain -- actively working to build that world. Additionally, their goals align very well with capitalism's incentive structures.
I guess none of the other developed countries must be capitalist, because they seem not to not be influenced by capitalism’s incentive structures.
They have been of course, but have done a much better job of managing it.
Unmanaged, capitalism will spin out of control. A slow and shitty paperclip maximiser.
Definitely, we need more regulation in the market or it’s only going to get worse.
