It's indisputable that the U.S. is (strictly materially) the richest society in the history of humanity. And even with the rise of the developing world, the U.S. share of global economy is the same in 2024 as it was 50-60 years ago, while almost all other developed nations have seen their shares drop.

For my entire life, I have constantly heard from both Republicans and Democrats that
"America is on the wrong track!" while the place just keeps getting wealthier and wealthier. While people argue in public about stupid stuff, "the system" just keeps working in the background.
