UPDATE:
JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING AND NOT GOING DOWN THE USUAL POLITICAL TRAPPINGS. AT THE ROOT, THIS IS A PEOPLE ISSUE, AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE DISCUSSING IT WITH LEVEL HEADS AND NOT TURNING TO POLITICAL RANTING.

This is about society structure - NOT politics. Please leave them out except where absolutely relevant.

so I was driving around america and got to thinking...

at one point, seems like most thought america was the "greatest country in the world". I get that. Not sure what people think now days, but at that time, I guess america did most things right.

DISCLAIMER FOR THOSE NEEDING IT: This is GENERAL DISCUSSION. There are ALWAYS exceptions, always one offs that don't fit, this is about the GENERAL IDEA THAT WORKS FOR MOST, not every little side group. We'll never be able to make absolutely everyone happy. Ever.

If america was considered the best at one time, what is better now?

OR can we compile all the best of the best attributes of a variety of societies, and make THE BEST society functional? Or is it always doomed to rise and fail over and over?

Is there a BETTER country out there now doing more things right, to win the title of GREATEST COUNTRY in the world?

What are the attributes to be the greatest? Zero poverty, total happiness in life?

We are now at a crossroads where things can change fast, robots replacing worker jobs, potential national income, or even ellimination of money or something, I don't know, I'm spitballing.

What do we need to change to create a close to perfect society, or the greatest world?

seems with global communications (like this here) we should be able to, ON PAPER, pull all the puzzle pieces together and make it work right.

-Not glamorizing single moms as "heroes" because they're not. Single moms are a big reason for downfall of society. Children from broken relationships are more likely to become criminals.

-normalizing obesity and saying things like "Fat is beautiful" because it's not. Obese people are gross. Or making excuses such as their "metabolism" or "genetics" or whatever BS. Go on YouTube and see videos from 1890s and early 20th century, there was virtually zero fat people around.

Yep women don't know how to raise children to be responsible adults.

Society hasn't fallen down. Our society is better than ever. Less crime, less poverty, more social nets. It's, ahem, in the best interest of politicians to convince everyone that the sky is falling and only they can put it right. Yes, we have issues that need to be fixed but a lot of them come from the attitude that everything is falling down around us which causes depression and anger.

A big one would be no more identity politics and thinking you should get more by how you identify. Yes that's political but it was going to happen.
