Are you going to sit there with a straight face and tell me that USA hasn’t dominated economically and geopolitically for most of the 80 years since the end of WW2?

Depends on how you pick your yardsticks, right. Health outcomes. Lifespan, gun deaths in schools. Happiness metrics. Mental health metrics. Academic achievement.
But I guess we have geopolitical power going for us, so thats nice. I do like that we have some of the largest food portions in the world, especially of coffee. I can feel a bit smug about that.
I’ve seen 31 ounce “trenta” coffees at some starbucks, but you have to find a QuickTrip gas station and bring your own mug (up to 100 ounces) for 1.50 to really have a proper cup of coffee.
That there is no “greatness” from which America can fall because it hasn’t been.

Go to france and its like 6 ounces. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I literally defined the yardstick already and you cut it off right out of my quote. Don’t do that.
Look, you’ve got an axe to grind with the USA and for good reasons, but you’re twisting my words to hear something I’m not saying.
I know you defined your yardstick. My comment was to say that your choice of measure shouldnt be considered a comprehensive measure.
Of course it shouldn’t. Who’s suggesting that?
