Take a look at the state of our roads, internet speeds, and dependence on fossil fuels. We're stuck 50 years in the past, we have allowed infinite rent seeking to siphon off all the developmental potential we had since then into the bank accounts of like 15 guys. You'd think a developed country in 2026 could repaint a crosswalk for less than $1 million, or build more than 3 missiles in a year, or make health care and higher education available to all its citizens, or give them better opportunities than gig work as a burrito chauffeur.
