If you’ve made it into the club in America - if you’re within the circle of institutional compassion either through luck or finance - then no place could be better. The critical problem in America today is that not enough people can make it into the club. Not enough get a chance.

1/That’s why healthcare matters. That’s why access to higher education matters. That’s why removing college loan debt matters.People who live with chronic economic anxiety, barely above survival level, have little chance to actualize their own productivity and financial capacity.

2/ What that translates into particularly at a moment like this is rampant fear. And fear can lead people to make terrible decisions. Those who tried to have it both ways, helping some people but not addressing fundamental injustices in our system, paved the way for where we are.

Marianne - i agree with your general point - but I think that the critical question is a bit different: It’s not how do we get more or different people in the club, it’s how do we make it so the club doesn’t matter - so that life is good outside the club, too

America is losing its power, magic, respect. The world no longer see Americans as saviors. So no need anyone to come to America. It is not the dreamland anymore.
