A sub-standard education system, coupled with possibly the stupidest media offerings on earth? (Yeah, my disdain is showing...) I live in Canada. I have visited the U.S. a lot over the years. I have visited the U.K. a lot over the years.
Whether it's healthcare, food quality, environmental initiatives, social justice issues around race, gender, orientation, safety issues like police procedures, initiatives, etc., Canada and the U.K. CONSISTENTLY out-perform the U.S.
It's a poorly run country based on a model that failed 2 millenia prior, with pretty predictable poor outcomes, and I really consider that people who chose to immigrate there made poor life choices, and some of them feel compelled to defend their stupidity. I don't fault those born there.
I live in the USA and you don't--no one I know thinks the hearings are much more than a partisan witch hunt. Now, the 4O recent woke progressive bombings and vandalism of pregnancy clinics--that violence does get the riveted attention of Americans! Yesterday I watched an interview with the doctor who runs a recently bombed pregnancy clinic in Buffalo. He lamented the need to meet with these vulnerable young women in unnamed private locations to protect them from harm.
