But is there an acceptance that the exceptionalism cannot be had by massive global bullying, wars, lack of investment in people vs corporations?
I mean, its literally impossible to be number 1, if the competition is investing in their people and aren't going to insane wars.
America is still number 2 and that's not a bad place.
- luckylion 7y agoNumber 2 doesn't get to control what the numbers 3 - X do, number 1 does. US wealth depends on being the primary global power.

- NTDF9 7y agoSure. But I don't know what's better. A life of $10/day with dirt cheap healthcare or a life of $60/day with the constant fear of losing healthcare. This is why PPP comparison matters.
