    I mean, it’s still in the top 30% of nations to live in. The US is nowhere near its potential for a great place to live but it’s still above average.

        I agree, this is just leftover momentum.

        Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the long dead corpse for fun.

        This place is just the command center for multinational oligarchs to wage war on the rest of humanity to increase short term profit expectations.
