    This one graphic is an indictment of American Health Care...

    "The U.S. stands alone, far from its peers. We spend roughly twice as much as other western countries for mediocre results. We seem to be exceptionally bad at living longer lives by spending more on healthcare." (from the book I'm writing)

    This is because we don't have an actual system. Just a cobbled together collection of public and private silos with lots of holes in between. Such a non-system is an invitation for waste, abuse, and outright fraud.

    "American Exceptionalism" indeed!

  3. “American exceptionalism runs deeper than belief. It’s ingrained, bred in the bone. There is no #America without #Americanexceptionalism. And that exceptionalism began in the revolution.”

  4. @TheBulwark @the-bulwark-online-TheBulwark #AmericanExceptionalism has gone from being a myth to being a joke.

    The #UnitedStates will recover, but yes, it will take at least a generation.

    #OKboomers will all be dead ☠️ and buried with the shame of trashing their inheritance from the #GreatestGeneration of #Americans.

    “LARP 4th of July is a drama about the wasted American dream,” the group writes on Facebook. “It is a story about hope, about a small homeland, about finding one's place in the community.”

  8. America’s Suicide Pact

    America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire. ~ Chris Hedges, May 08, 2026

  10. Nick Bryant had this comment about #AmericanExceptionalism: "Acts of political violence are fast becoming as much a feature of American life as school shootings. They set apart the United States."

    I understand where you come from. But...as a person from the so called Global South, ex-3rd world, our experience is that regardless of who is in charge, democrats or republicans, the internal concept of the US of what democracy is/was was never applicable for us. I can only hope whatever is left of your democracy survives and gets stronger to be really relevant to the rest of the world

  14. Rubio Tells Iran Invest in People—But U.S. Military Spending Exposes Hypocrisy

    Rubio says Iran should invest in its people, but U.S. military spending vs healthcare reveals deep hypocrisy and misplaced moral authority.

  16. @randahl Unfortunately, too many Americans have been drugged with the toxic brew of #AmericanExceptionalism and don't really grasp that our actions have consequences.

  18. Excellent piece on the toxin of #AmericanExceptionalism and the illusion of omnipotence that contaminated the #US and poisoned its relationship with the rest of the world, a process that’s culminated in the multidimensional disaster in the #MiddleEast.

  19. I realized that I have zero idea what the ideal water temp is in Fahrenheit for various types of tea. I learned it in Celsius, and the common temp settings on electric kettles are really Celsius anyway, so I never bothered to convert. Celsius is just easier.
