It helps to understand that the only freedom Americans only cared for (and the only freedom they have left from the looks of it) is the freedom to choose standards of measurement and vocabulary.

Huh? Britons get locked up for social media posts. Most of the world doesn’t have guns. And among the first world we’re the only ones free to go bankrupt from medical bills!

Our problems don’t stem from lack of freedom, they stem from too much of it.

No guns, but they have solar panels, batteries, EVs, etc.

		You have the sort of view of America that I can only imagine comes from somebody who has never been here. I don’t know what you mean by batteries, I’m not aware of any we don’t have available. We have the second most electric vehicles after China, and nearly all new power generation being built here is renewable. I’m not sure how you managed to turn this into some anti-American rant, but at least do a better job of it, it’s very easy.
