American pride won't save this country from long-term trends. Before any meaningful change can be made, the "we're the best" attitude has to go. Sometime in the next 2 decades China is gonna put a man on Mars before the US, I can't wait to see the shocked faces

Would you be disappointed if there are no shocked faces? Anti-intellectualism is a disturbing modern trend.
the Soviet Union got to space first and then what good did that do?

I’ll be shocked when the American president sends her daughter to study in China, or when the British monarchy starts exiling to China.

America got great by sending the children of the elite to Holland for college.
