I saw this video earlier today from and by Professor Robert Reich on this pandemic, our response as a nation and our results.
It got me thinking, thinking about America and what and who we are.
- Worst pandemic response in the world.
- More cases of coronavirus and more deaths, both, than any other nation.
- More incarcerated citizens than any other nation, bar none and including far more populated China and India.
- Spend more, far more, on war than any other nation, far and away.
- Spend more, far more, again, than ANY OTHER NATION on health care.
- Only Western, industrialized nation without universal health care.
- Only Western, industrialized nation to tie health care to corporate profit and profits.
- Nation with the most guns in the world.
- Nation with the most homocides and killings, worldwide, again, far and away.
Oh, yeah.
We're "exceptional", all right.
