America is a failed state. Every single other industrialized country has universal healthcare, free universities, paid vacation, paid maternity leave. I could go on.
And these things are not on the table. They are not, nor have they ever been, really considered -- at least not for the last 50 years. The recent candidate who ran on this platform, Bernie Sanders, was widely loved by the public and absolutely slated by the media.
The wealthiest in America are fine but the poor are more miserable than some third-world countries. The country is falling apart and there's really no opposing force, trying to stop it.
