It also contributes to the climate catastrophe by providing copious amounts of oil. It also enjoys the fruits of the exploitation in the Global South, hence it can redistribute said fruits of imperialism to its people, which is indeed better than the US oligarchs hoarding it all, but not by a lot.

We are a plutocracy, our government sold out long ago and is the most corrupt country of all time.
I know that they say it's actually pretty good and we are a rule of law country without a corruption problem, but unfortunately, that's because we've made corruption and bribery perfectly legal.
If you haven't done this yet, check out Super PACs, long story short it's a cash pipeline with laughably weak oversight, and everybody in government knows exactly why it legal.
In 1970s FBI did a bribery catfish of reps, mayors, and more, and almost half of them took the bait and many were convicted of bribery (ABSCAM).
Starting in 2000s, Super PACs allow unlimited funding and they don't have to declare who gave it to them. The FBI is now investigating furries instead of congress.
It's a madhouse.
send all the billionaires to mars or get taxed
I have a more economical solution.
one that doesn't start a civil war?
It's not as perfect as this screenshot portrays though:)
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
It's pretty good now but the wrong people in the governments of European countries are trying to ruin it. Yes, it's better here in Europe but there is A LOT of room for improvement.
Sounds like i love Norway 🇳🇴
Having a $1.7tn sovereign wealth fund helps.
