Americans really got bored with free trade, the best and brightest in the world wanting to come here, low corruption and childhood diseases like measles being eradicated.
I guess things are definitely less boring now. Worse, but also less boring.

@carnage4life so there were no problems in America to address? This system was working well for all Americans? https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/116098902726924703
@codinghorror @carnage4life The two are related: we are here in large part because none of this prosperity was spent on healthcare, justice or education. All it did was increase inequality.
@codinghorror @carnage4life That’s not the argument being made and is, frankly (and respectfully), a red herring.
Of course problems exist and always would under any system. Many of those problems had workable solutions to alleviate a substantive portion of it, but the electorate, politicians, and corporate interests largely saw to stymie that at various points.
Under the direction we’re currently speed running, good luck getting those solutions through.
@codinghorror Are things better now? 🙃
