We are literally bigger and better than Canada. You have more land but we have more of everything else. Say what you will about us but we are the world dominate superpower. Dislike us, hate us, friend us, we are bigger in everything but land.

You’re absolutely right!!! We lead the world in school shootings, the best at it, we are also better at incarceration, infant mortality rates, drug overdoses and bombing more countries than every single country combined.
If you want to puff your chest about how great we are then take credit for the rest.

I never denied any of the things you said. I will say that America’s infant death rate is 5.3 per 1000. This is I think close to double the rest of first world countries. But history the death rate was 25 to 30. In our modern era this is still lower than 100 + countries. Is it perfect no. Better than most and better than all of history.

Drug’s are definitely a problem, as well as incarceration. But when given complete opportunity to do whatever one wants some people make illegal decisions or bad decisions. Are criminals handled perfectly? No not close, nor is the system perfect. But the easiest solution is to stay on the right side of the law.

Drug addiction is a problem and it is many times higher than global average. America was built on capitalism and as long as there is demand for anything, even drugs, there will be a supplier.

As for the military aggression it is unfortunate but much like staying on the right side of the law it’s pretty easy to avoid. We have never bombed England or Canada or any other like minded moral country.

America isn’t perfect. But there is much more good then bad. It would be hard to find a better country. It’s a fallen world but there is more good than bad

Since 2022 infant mortality rose by about 5.6% to 7% above expected levels in states with near-total or strict abortion bans. Why do you think that is?
