There's just too many folks here who'd rather make a quick buck then provide some longevity to the nation (at the top and in politics). China and other nations realize that there is more money and happiness in the long term view, so they're either pivoting or have pivoted. I'm afraid we just don't have the gumption / community oriented view to do that here in the USA. Folks want "freedom", even if that freedom means degrading into massive poverty / wage slavery. I don't blame them particularly, our education system massively touts the successes of USA above all.
