Reminder that cognitive decline starts at 40. By 70, your mind is mere shadow of what it once was. Yes, even Bernie is a shadow of the man he was when he was 40.

It's like most things in America - if you're doing ok then it's great, and if you're not then the rest of the country just pretends you don't exist.
That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don't know), otherwise this country sucks.
Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.
Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I'd gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy
Public ownership of companies for the benefit of the public is a form of socialism, but Trump's fascist oligarchy serves only the wealthy elites. Oligarchs hijacking democracy for their own benefit isn't socialism.
