        The mindset of “this kind of works for us, don’t change it, even if what you have is better” is at the root of most issues with America. Healthcare or Kraft Dinner, American Exceptionalism is damaging.

          Excuse me but our health care doesn’t even kinda work for us. It’s a full on disaster. The duct tape (Obamacare) is helping but before that if you lost your job after you had cancer nobody would ever insure any cancer treatments for you again.

            Slavery would have been abolished 32 years earlier, and we would have had a Parliamentary system. Canada did it right.

          Here’s a really crazy thing that we do: have Mac & cheese made by someone other than Kraft. It actually is exceptional.
