    I don’t entirely disagree but I think at this advanced stage, it’s largely due to inertia.

      I agree, this is just leftover momentum.

      Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the long dead corpse for fun.

      This place is just the command center for multinational oligarchs to wage war on the rest of humanity to increase short term profit expectations.

        By previous countries’ standards. I meant advancement in terms of damage done, not strictly timewise. Humanity is speedrunning mass extinction, and America has been at the forefront.
