> Why do we not have these things? Medical equipment and financial conduits involve no rocket science whatsoever. At least therapies and vaccines are hard! Making masks and transferring money are not hard. Maybe because investors think that every company will be a fintech company in the future?

We need to want these things. > What’s the American dream? The opportunity to have a home of your own, and a family you can provide for. The top tier in the U.S. is enjoying a rather good living. They have houses, cars, cheap imported stuff, groceries delivered, accountants and good health insurance. They will also travel to some place in Europe or Asia for a nice vacation to avoid the bad and expensive service in the U.S. The bottom tier (which is getting larger) surely wants these things. But they are hopeless and both the top tier and the government has given up on them. On other countries (i.e.: Singapore) the government think about the larger population. So they build some public transportation. In the U.S., there is a strong police force, so these things are under control.
