There is an excellent article out from last July at The Atlantic that, as I said above, far too many Americans won't even understand, let alone accept.
Do Americans Understand How Badly They’re Doing?
In France, where I live, the virus is under control. I can hardly believe the news coming out of the United States.
This is a great question and I'm certain the answer is no, Americans no way know how badly they're, we're doing. It mostly covers here how awful our situation is regarding this President, our/his "leadership" and this pandemic but there's so much more we are doing and do so very badly, so poorly. Here are some of the worst.
- This President and election alone have put us in "banana republic" territory with his trying to deny our vote, our votes and election
- There there is our only-nation-with-it, for-profit health care system and our bankruptcies from it all and then our really obscene and grossly immoral wealth inequality
- Because of our health care system, Americans go bankrupt from those costs and expenses. So much so that it's the number one reason and source of bankruptcies in the nation
- And don't get me started on our insane number of guns and weapons and shootings and killings for no reason whatever
- Additionally, there's this idiot, self-possessed, self-absorbed, greedy, ignorant, reckless, literally dangerous President we've had ostensibly leading us these last 4 years
- Then we far outspend what we should on what we call "defense", bankrupting us in other ways so we can't and don't take care of our infrastructure. More insanity.
- We have horrible wealth inequality
- We nearly literally shovel yet more money, and great quantities, at that, to the already-wealthy and corporations
No. No way Americans have any idea we have it bad, badly and so wrong. So stupidly wrong. So unnecessarily wrong.
