→ We’re #1.
Albeit also, in inequality and mass shootings. And nowhere near #1 in other things that matter, like life expectancy and happiness. But still worth noting.
As to infrastructure, where we’ve lagged badly behind, thank Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress for finally committing to the massive investment that’s decades overdue.
It was so needed, even a few Republicans signed on!
(To the annoyance of the indicted, twice impeached former president, who hoped it would fail.)
