US has some of the best property rights in the world. The reason we have a population of dumb retards is because daddy government is using the hard workers tax dollars to take care of everyone else. We are devoid of responsibility and a population with no personal responsibility lacks any incentive to better themselves and lacks any sense of meaning in their lives. It's why developed nations are far unhappier than developing ones. Property rights has nothing to do with it and diet has little to do with it. Although the fact that most people are not able to afford property of their own is a large contributing factor. Which of course means they don't have any responsibility for their own dwelling.

What do you think property rights are? When you say "govt is using the hard workers tax dollars to..." all of that is purely at the expense of property rights. Inflation (printing trillions of dollars) is purely at the expense of property rights. Shutting down businesses during covid & imposing insane regulatory burdens at ANY time or in ANY form is purely a destruction of property rights.
And economic oppression makes people unable to move up in life & afford basic things like their own food & shelter. Which tends to increase the lack of motivation & the belief that there is no reason to even try to get ahead.
And as "rat park" demonstrates, when people feel trapped they trun to drugs & other forms of escape. But even without the economic oppression (which is very real) the standard American diet alone is addictive enough & destructive enough to cause severe mood swings, mental fog, & depression all by itself.
and the legal drugs are a per-capita bigger problem than the illegal ones, but you hardly hear about them
al capone runs the USA, their main business is racketeering and drug dealing

Correct!
I don't disagree with you. Just because they are some of the best in the world does not mean they are good...
