im not going to criticize other countries when in my own country the USA, the middle class has been shrinking for 40 years and life expectancy is actually going down.

when i grew up it was rare to see a homeless person, now there are tent camps all across the city. and i live in a red state where almost every local and state wide office is run by republicans.
