You’re missing the point. Recourse doesn't matter much if you're bankrupted by health issues because your state blocked Medicaid expansion. If your state fails at education, you can't sue your way into a better life (though to be fair Mississippi has actually improved its schools recently). Institutional constraints don't help much when you're poor, pregnant, and have zero access to Planned Parenthood. Averages tell enough of the story. Look at the US: In that WHR report we rank in the top 10 for Boomers but way down near 60th for Gen Z. That's what is dragging down the US curve. You can't hit Finland-level numbers without bringing everyone along. China still has a massive hill to climb, but they are determined, let’s see where they are in ten years. Most Americans are very procedural, which is where I disagree. Personally at the end of the day all I care about is outcomes. I agree with Deng Xiaoping: It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
