    The new generation of “clean your plate, there’s starving children in Africa.”

    Saying “don’t complain because someone else has it worse” is the worst form of bad faith, uneducated argument. You’re the problem.

      I’m not saying “don’t complain”. I’m saying “be very careful when making changes to a system that already works better than most.” A lot of people talk as if life in the USA is awful and demand radical change. I think it would be a terrible idea to trust them not to break the delicate machinery of our prosperity.

        That’s likely because for many people the USA is awful and in need of radical change

        It’s really easy to look at how other countries are doing better than we are at things and learn from them, it’s not like any change we try would be some magical untested idea that would break the country in 2
