  5. ​ @HisCoconutGun  Most kids in the US are trapped in suburbs where the only practical means of transportation outside of rows of identical single family houses is a car. It is practically illegal to leave your house on your own unless you are at least 16.

  7.  @MrApplewine  Why would free markets - the ability to consensually trade free from violence or coercion not be good?

  8.  @MrApplewine  You didn't answer the question. You should ask yourself has our nation been influenced more by Hamilton/Lincoln or Jefferson? Whose ideas have reached their logical conclusions in the modern era? I'd argue the faction of Hamilton/Lincoln won and we are much worse off for it.

  11.  @Alaryk111  Those poor countries are rapidly industrializing. Their quality of life and national trajectory is improving far better than any western nation who have arguably already peaked and are in decline. Maybe you misunderstand "rate of improvement" with total quality. A place can be awful but be improving and a place can be amazing but worsening.

  15.  @Shockguey  A true free market requires anarcho capitalism. Anything less is less than completely free. Monarchy is preferable to democracy but let's not pretend the actions of the state don't disturb the markets.

  17.  @LightInTheNight1337  I never claimed improvement due to high fertility. I claimed high fertility is likely the best indicator of improvement.

  19.  @S41GON Sub-Saharan Africa is improving. China, Japan, Europe, USA have stagnated and are worsening by the day. Unless you disagree with this analysis, fertility matches improvement.

  20.  @jmgonzales7701  It boggles my mind so many people don't understand the difference between "good" and "improving". A place can be awful but be improving and a place can be amazing but worsening.
