CMV: The United States is slowly but TOTALLY collapsing before our very eyes.

From unsalvageable political polarization, to our undying reliance fossil fuels, to the mental health/healthcare crisis, to gun violence. Aside from civil rights (I understand that this is no small footnote and is a great improvement) it seems like literally **nothing** has gotten better/no improvements have been made to this country in at least 40 years. Seems like we are all worse off financially, mentally and physically. I would love for someone to give me some solid evidence that we aren't beyond redemption. I am only talking about the United States because I live here and don't really know what other countries go through other than what I read from the news, which at this point feels untrustworthy, politicized and fueled by capitalist gains.

We're far less reliant on fossil fuels than we were 40 years ago, and the murder rate is half of what it was.
