Why think of ways to improve society when we could just keep suffering through what we have now?
- dantheman 5y agoDo you not think society is improving? Over the past 20 years we had the greatest drop of poverty ever seen. Everyday society is improving.

And while I would never blame Americans for voting for an American government specifically on the basis of what they promise do for American citizens and without regard for the consequences for the rest of us, the overall effect on the world to which rich Americans can flee has been more up than down.
