Is it really still news that USA has gone crazy?
the industrial revolution and the corporate takeover thereafter led to an increase in polluted soil, lower air quality
the southern united states fell behind after the civil war having been burned down and was not rebuilt back up fully until the 1950s with deficits still remaining to today
education is still drastically underfunded and the minimum wage along with any wages have stagnated in comparison to the rising food plus housing costs not to mention the rest playing into poorer mental health
one plus one usually equals two and the easiest way to control a population is not fascism but restricting what living things need to grow/thrive
not the citizens fault we were corralled into this toxic environment here much like industrialized farm animals not being at fault but if we do nothing as result then yes we are crazy and no better
Yes rebuilding the south faster would have turned out better for everyone. /S
There were some hopeful years during reconstruction, lots of black officials before Jim crow and kkk. It didn't last because presidents after Lincoln abdicated their responsibility of educating the south and preventing voter/elected official intimidation.
