    The article is paywalled and it’s Paul Krugman who isn’t interesting to me anyway but here are my two cents from living in the US for a while now.

    This is a really immature, lazy country, especially for those on the right. I’m talking about fully-grown men (at least physically) driving lifted trucks that roll coal and have decals describing the violence they would like to do to liberals stuck to the back.

    They’re lazy and stupid, so they never made anything out of their lives. Because they lack the ability to introspect, none of this is their fault. If they can’t get a date because they’re obnoxious, boring people with questionable hygiene, that’s the fault of women. If they’re stuck in a dead end job with no prospects, that because of immigrants, who took the good jobs these morons would never even get an interview for.

    I don’t know what the answer is, aside from pushing way more money into education, and hoping the next generation turns out better.
