Where to start? Lol.
The US is a vast country with a vast population and its economy has been geared towards high end services. Those with the relevant education are able to thrive while those without education or wealth get cast aside. Urban centers thrive in this economy while rural ones fade away and decay; most people don’t want/ can’t move to where the opportunities are.
There’s also a multitude of socio political issues. From the relative independence of States to set social benefits policies, to the phenomenon of convincing people to vote against their own interests when race or culture war is involved.
