Excellent insight Tim Wise.

But there is something about America. An unusual breakdown of trust that recently has been nationally amplified. One root cause could be the disparity of income and wealth and (because of theses) opportunity. The result being segments of the population massively insecure.

Covid illness and deaths in the U.S. results have been way more than they should have been. I originally come from New Zealand that has a population with more public trust and they have had 27 deaths (pop. around 5 million).
