> A grand total of none of my international friends have anywhere near the wealth, nor earning potential I do, and they never will. It’s an exceedingly large, compounding edge.
That's because most of us are not obsessed with wealth. We tend to be satisfied with some level of comfort and security and focus on other things in life. I guess that's a cultural thing.
> Everyone knows our healthcare system is asinine. It doesn’t require more money to fix.
It's not only about health care, but other aspects such as how the society is structured, poverty, incarceration rates, access to education, homelessness, etc.
Again, probably a cultural thing but Europeans seem to care more about these matters than Americans and so we structure and drive our politics and legislature towards addressing these issues.
