    Only if you completely ignore all context and recent history, and the fact that many nations does not have all of the issues which the US has, but has actually figured out some solutions to some of the problems.

    Meanwhile the US seems more adamant than ever to make life insufferable for most of its citizens. The point being that the US is indeed very special in its failure to learn from others, despite having more wealth than anybody else.

    The “it has always been like this everywhere in the entirety of human history” is a pretty useless and false statement in this context.

    Technically, the roots of mac and cheese can be traced as far as medieval Italy, but in the same way that Italian noodles were born in China.

    Yeah, because Italian “noodles” weren’t born in China. That is a myth that has long since been busted.
