Most American soldiers killed in combat are from economically strapped families. Covid killed off many elderly. Who can afford critical care? The lucky few who don’t have to sell their homes to survive serious illnesses. Who can get by on minimum wage? It’s a tragedy of jaw-dropping proportions. Capitalism waves goodies in our faces to tempt us and we pile up credit card debt at cut-throat interest rates. I mean, they get you, one way or another. No, america is not the height of civilization, contrary to common belief amongst most Americans.
