I think COVID is the inflection point that puts the U.S. behind compared to other countries who have a more collective culture and less extremism in politics.

I have seen nearly every aspect of life in the U.S. take a major hit. Nearly no one cares about anything, and the attitude of taking care of me myself and I seems rampant.

I have been worried about children since day one, from social disorders to education. We have several generations that basically missed out on two years of schooling from pre-school through university levels. That can't be good in one to three decades time, even if we i prove the issues tomorrow.



China seems to be doing great. Economy is way up, Covid cases almost non-existent, decisive education reforms, strong new military alliances.

Based on the news being fed to me, it’s almost as if the pandemic didn’t even happen to them.
