Using USA as a representative of the world is delusional.

  • Bike lane failed in US, it didnt in Europe, it took over cars.
  • EV failed in US, didn't everywhere else
  • Gun control worked everywhere else, not in USA.
  • Health
  • Education
  • Democracy
  • and so on...

Seems like a you problem

Using USA as a representative of the world is delusional.

Assuming that people are magically different is delusional.

  • Bike lane failed in US, it didnt in Europe, it took over cars.

The USA is massive... literally a good chunk of the Western Europe fits into Texas.

  • EV failed in US, didn't everywhere else

Uhh what? We have EVs here, trump is trying his best to snuff them out but that's not happening.

  • Gun control worked everywhere else, not in USA.

Australia....had forced buyback in the 90s after the port shooting....60% turn in rate, 1mil owned arms by civs...today 3+Mil firearms owned by citizens in Australia...so did it really work? Or did society get less violent because of the education and safety nets that Australia has?

  • Health

Yea...and that's not a ban?

  • Education

This is not just a USA problem. Kids are getting dumber everywhere because of tech.

  • Democracy

?????

Seems like a you problem

Seems more like you're just projecting...
