If we had to build a perfect country, what would it have? I'll start: basic healthcare for all, skill/need based immigration, focus on infrastructure and internal manufacturing and growth, high PPP.

Internal manufacturing doesn’t matter. Manufacturing output in the US is higher than ever before. We just use less labor.

This will be controversial, but I think ideal countries have a culture that agrees on norms and ideals. Ours is so far from that and we got to this point pretty quickly by not hitting pause on immigration to let things simmer. I like to use everyone’s favorite analogy of America being a melting pot - but anyone who cooks can attest to what happens when you put a ton of ingredients into a pot to boil. They take the temp down and you have to give things time to meld together.

Stuff like higher education and healthcare need to be blown up and fundamentally reformed instead of just making the current models free for everyone.

The affirmative action guy def works in production/printing bc none of my GS friends are this dumb. Agree or disagree on AA but the impact is tiny.

Personally I think lots of people are stupid (even fishbowl) and i hate that our votes count the same. The ideal country in my fantasy planet would have a benevolent dictatorship with 100% no corruption and a council of economist geniuses in charge of all major policy making. so no more mortgage interest deduction, inefficient/expensive healthcare system and every other dumb policy we’re currently stuck with because politicians pander to stupid/elderly voters
