I'm still proud I'm from here regardless of my country's shortcomings. It seems like USA bashing is quite popular here but I rarely see any UK bashing being done. I'm just trying to even that up a bit. I edited my comment after checking out the graph you posted. I can't tell if "intergenerational earnings elasticity" is a good or bad thing. Does a higher number mean more or less social mobility? Regardless of that I think your "among the lowest in the world" claim about social mobility is the USA is bullshit. That graph only lists a few countries. What about social mobility in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, China, Russia, etc...? How do those countries compare with the ones listed?Beware of DogComment

Could you define 'elites'?
It's an odd term that Americans use that I think maybe comes from conservative media. If you are running things then does that not make you elite? Since somehow Trump a man from an extremely privileged background who inherited $300 million doesn't count as elite I've started to wonder if elite just means 'well educated'.Beware of DogComment

Donald Trump inherited $300 mill but he didn't inherit a title that made him a successor to the throne of America. Millions of Americans voted for him. How many people voted for Elizabeth II in the last Queen election? Don't give me that "figurehead" bullshit either. The Queen has a lot more political clout than that.
And most people DID NOT vote for Trump. America's bullshit Electoral College system is about as democratic as queen elections....Comment

The founding fathers wanted a republic, not a democracy. That’s why each state get’s two senators regardless of population and we have the electoral college. It was set up that way so the most populous states wouldn’t have all the power which would be the result of a true democracy.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I think the electoral college has worked well. Neither the Democrats nor Republicans can take permanent control of the Executive Branch. Control swings from one party to the other. It evens out the power structure and both parties have had good and bad presidents.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Never said they did. Millions and most are two different words.
If your candidate had won by the electoral college system you'd be fine with it but they didn't. If the rules said the overall vote getter was the winner and you lost you'd say the electoral college system should have been used. Trump won by the rules in place during that election. If you don't want a repeat in 2020 you better start supporting your eventual Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.Beware of DogComment

Well, the idiot declared bankruptcy at least 6 times, so that's a lot of hookers. He claims to not do drugs, but all that sniffing when he speaks tells a different story. Reportedly he's snorting Adderal rather than cocaine. Which also adds to the speculation of exactly how much money he does or does not have. Surely a billionaire could find a decent cocaine dealer?Eat Us And Smile
