What gives a country the ability to deem another one powerful? Actually I think I'm more interested in how that ranking gets determined. Ok to narrow that one down even more, are their government entities in the particular country that can state "these reasons?"
I ask that because we "talk a big game" but in reality have horrible numbers, or so far at this point from the political occurrences (and I admit I don't keep up. IMHO its a bunch of rich old men who are out of touch). I guess this seems more like a pros vs cons about America now. So not going into that, is the picture we present to the world the real happenings(no healthcare is a big one. I have a bachelor's degree, cannot find a job, and have no healthcare. Literally living with a parent just to survive), or is it the fake ideals of say the 1950's? (Every Harry Dick and Jane has a job or is a stay-home parent, and its possible to keep up with the Jones')
I know that was awkward. Long day of trying to find a suit cheap enough but that would fit. Eskews my thinking to screen ability.
It's not so much one country deeming another powerful, but a concensus of many with multipule factors.
Healthcare is a huge issue...straying from the subject severely...but instead of trying to model our system after many failing countries, why aren't we trying to get to the source of the problem? Litigation, insurance company greed, and a system built by/for/of lawyers, fed by pharmaceutical companies' lobbyists would be a good place to start...
I really am sorry you're struggling financially now. That sucks big time. I have no college degree. I'm a blue collar worker who started working for my current company fresh out of high school 25 years ago and can't imagine what it'd be like to work for another company..let alone beat the pavement looking, trying to sell my skills, despite the reputation I've built across this city.
Though I'm sure I trashed my credibility admitting I've no formal education beyond high school, I built my opinions from a wealth of valuable sources. I spend a considerable amount of time reading...everything. I enjoy opinions counter to my point of view and keep an open mind. Then I research them...in constant search of the truth...whatever that may be.
I sincerely hope you find a good job soon. Best of luck to you sir. When you do, I hope it turns out better than anything you hoped for.
IIN to think that the USA is the greatest country in the world?
