Spicy take.
The Supreme Court is clearly unhinged and monstrously outdated. Checks and balances? Lol.
And the fish rots from the head. The abuses of lower courts and basically every regulatory body are well documented, and the accountability for corrupt judges is near-zero. Any institution which actually functions to protect people gets defunded.
> There's a reason why everyone bets on the USA
Because a dying empire is liable to do just about anything to get what it wants. Genocide, mass murder, arming your enemies, blackmail on a global scale, sanctions that murder millions, wrecking the climate, criminalizing abortion - nothing is off the table.
Among many other reasons, that's why the world has viewed America as the number 1 threat to democracy, world peace, and stability every single year since 2003. "Everyone bets on the USA" to fuck shit up. That's not an exaggeration, though American's never believe it. It's not close either. We're number 1.
Very few people trust American regulation; whether on food, chemicals, privacy or anything else. We are a global laughing stock; a stark example of why unregulated capitalism is so dangerous.
There's a reason why America's water quality is among the worst in the developed world. There's a reason why we're mocked world-wide. There's a reason why our Presidential 'options' are the two most unpopular politicians in the country for three elections running, and it's not cause our system is working so well.
