    The article is paywalled and it’s Paul Krugman who isn’t interesting to me anyway but here are my two cents from living in the US for a while now.

    This is a really immature, lazy country, especially for those on the right. I’m talking about fully-grown men (at least physically) driving lifted trucks that roll coal and have decals describing the violence they would like to do to liberals stuck to the back.

    They’re lazy and stupid, so they never made anything out of their lives. Because they lack the ability to introspect, none of this is their fault. If they can’t get a date because they’re obnoxious, boring people with questionable hygiene, that’s the fault of women. If they’re stuck in a dead end job with no prospects, that because of immigrants, who took the good jobs these morons would never even get an interview for.

    I don’t know what the answer is, aside from pushing way more money into education, and hoping the next generation turns out better.

      Really immature and lazy. Too lazy to use their brains. And act like children who eat ice cream everyday for dinner. Where the ideal alpha male is an idiot, who puts his life and health at risk so he doesn’t look “weak”.

      We are currently in the 2nd Great Depression, they don’t want to acknowledge it but we are. It will continue until a new deal is reached. The 1% were successful in sucking every last bit of profit out of us. Incredibly they never realized everyone will simply stop having children.

        They’re working really hard on fixing that though. People may have less sex but not no sex, so as long as they get rid of abortion and contraception, it’ll sort itself out.
