The distribution of productivity gains in the US is beyond dreadful, so something needs to change.

Besides, it's screamingly obvious the US has literally chosen to pivot back to the Middle Ages, so even these captured productivity differences won't be an issue for much longer.

How is the US anything like the Middle Ages?

You did say literally so can you do a point by point comparison?

We have other people claiming the US is fascist and one of the aims of fascism was to take European culture and religion back to before the Middle Ages - they wanted to emulate the Roman Empire.

That's because many European countries now already had 4 months of basically all media reporting daily of how Trump is dismantling the US.

Public perception for many people is that the US is on its way to become a failed state.
