Americans are on average selfish, vulgar, greedy, indifferent to injustice, indifferent to suffering, and racist.

We like to say shit on social media and occasionally throw a tiny minority of our money and none of our time at the most visible problems resulting in parasites specializing in appearing to do useful things while mostly paying people with degrees to think about helping people.

This is why we have people dying for lack of medicine, starving kids, and stories of that random teacher whose humiliation made the rounds on social media who people raised 80k for that one time in place of systemic solutions.

America is run by the kind of folks the disreputable folks discussed above would vote for.
