I think most of the world gets this in one way or another, but one political faction in the US refuses to. And since their preferred action is "nothing", our legal system is set up to favor them. It takes an overwhelming effort to change anything at all.

So it doesn't really matter how many articles we get telling us, again, that it's even worse than we thought. They can continue to deny it indefinitely, and the whole rest of the world will be forced to either live with that or shoulder the costs themselves.
