Here we go. American exceptionalism again. No surprise here. It isn’t done because your government is stupid and corrupt. Look at the myriad other examples of this happening in other countries.

Thanks. Glad to have this pat and reductive answer to all of our problems.

Right? Now that you know the answer, apply it to every problem where « but for us It’s different »

Gun control, ISP prices & availability, public transportation and in particular long range trains are the top of the list of those subjects.

At first it’s fun, then it’s anoying, then it’s sad.

Thougt & prayers ! It will get better, or at least you will know intrinsically that you exhausted all of the 1 solutions.

Sometimes the US truly is exceptional -- name another country that has more guns than people and, critically, enshrines private ownership of guns in its constitution.

You are right, it’s truly unique. Nothing else that worked elsewhere will work. Thought and prayers!
