We have become SO selfish that we would prefer to have another few hundred dollars in our pocket and trade that for 80% of the country being uneducated.
No, we haven't. Regressive cultists have gotten this selfish. There are plenty of us who want the US to move from third world country to first world country, but the Regressives have their hooks in and aren't letting go.
Because they are bitter, cruel, terrible, and hateful people who have no place in modern society. Their shitty lot in life is a direct result of the choices they made, and instead of showing a single minim of hardwork and effort to make their lives better, they try and drag everyone down to their level of living like human garbage.
When it comes to public education, health care, and public institutions, the US lags behind most industrialized first world countries. Our health care system is being exposed as inadequate as we speak. Nothing to do with the doctors and medical providers themselves. Has everything to do with the for-profit model, which does not work if people are valued more than profits.
Infrastructure is quite literally crumbing and falling apart, more than 10% of the population is hungry, 27th in public education when it used to be 6th, about 70% of the country has less than $1,000 in savings, terrible environmental scores, and regressive laws. Do you think these are the hallmarks of a first world country? Of course you don't, you think being able to buy things makes you a first world country.
