Title mentions the world.
Body worries about the US.
Nice US defaultism.
We are kind of doing the absolute worst to the rest of the world, and will be the reason they die if left unchecked, so yeah no shit
True, but let’s be honest, a) the rest of the world has their own version of the U.S. problems to deal with and b) if the U.S. goes to shit, a lot of things go to shit globally.
We can’t really lean back and say “man you really screwed shit up, sucks to be you” and get on with our life.
