A study by researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health found that avoidable mortality rose across all U.S. states from 2009 to 2021, while it declined in most other high-income countries.
it’s SO weird to be someone who grew up in America and has now spent about 25 years back home. i cannot understate the powerful effect of the mindset of “being an American”.
here’s the thing. one might say something like, “well get one and move!” just like they’d say to a tesla owner, “if you don’t want your car defaced, then just get rid of it!”
i’m not defending tesla. nothing burns brighter than an T. as in “time to leave”.
but you can’t just up and swap countries or cars every four years, right? there’s a word for that, but half the country refuses to hear it… it’s unsustainable.
none of what i just wrote is directed at you personally. i personally have a spare bedroom in Canada that you’re welcome to inhabit (barring obvious vets).
We have one habitat we’re terraforming against ourselves. As much as I’d be willing to lay more blame at the feet of this shithole called the US, the same doom is coming for all of us, accelerating beyond models of years past, and none of the global superpowers are going to use their power to stop it.
That’s because we’re a regressing country

I’m unfortunately still here and even I haven’t a fucking clue

Our global crops are already feeling the squeeze.

Civilization isn’t regressing. This is just one shithole country getting shittier.
