I think its about time we stop talking about the US as a developed nation. It really isn’t for a majority of americans, and it does appear to be steadily devolving. It’s maybe not yet a fully fledged 'poor country" but it is way more of a shithole than I would suppose 80% of countries in the developing world. And the fact that do many Americans think they’re the greatest country since sliced bread came around is something I find bemusing
Simply because this statistic is not getting better does not mean that the United States is not a developed country. It means it is something to be addressed.
Many other statistics have the US improving rapidly e.g. crime, murder, life expectancy, and drug deaths. United States is also home to several vision zero cities which are actively improving this statistic.
The thing to address seem simple in theory: copy a model that works fine. It may mean to change some rules, and it may have an impact on the american way of life.
Also, neighbours such as Mexico, and far more Canada do far better on that point. So there should be a way to do better without even push too hard… But it would be very impressive if USA could find a way working really well.
Nice one dude! Very original! America bad!
