    The USA effectively does not perform governance in the sense that is meant by liberal democracies of the last century. That’s just not what the USA does, and it doesn’t make sense to compare it to a government that exists to serve its citizens.

      Yes, serving citizens means giving millions in subsidies to billionaires for a scam that would only serve the upper class if it were even real.

      It makes sense in the regard to illustrate that the US. Is lagging behind most other countries. They talk a big game as if they are the best in the world when they’re 50-60 years behind everyone else. To show a comparison for a government that does exist to serve its citizens, as opposed to a government that only claims to serve its citizens.
