I live in Europe and I am not sure what’s so terrible about us falling behind the US. Are people going hungry? Having a hard time finding a place to live? Traveling to nice places?? Not even that in my view. We live a happy fulfilling life. We are healthy . I would say even that most people are better off than most Americans. The US is ahead mostly because of a few giant corporations and billionaires. The average American is just not benefiting so much from all that wealth. Also, please stop this colonialist nonsense about spreading our way of live elsewhere. If the world wants to use our model of life as an example, great otherwise leave them the hell alone! Want to help them out of poverty? Trade with them on fair conditions. Don’t give them scraps in exchange for doing as they’re told! China seems to be doing that much better than Europe ever did.
