It’s like we’re cursed.

I am saying that the present situation is not out of character for the USA.
We are the Florida of the world.
Yeah it is dawg. This is really completely new territory in almost every way.
The US as a whole can’t really achieve Florida levels of… Floridaness. You need fewer good paying jobs, higher costs of living, lots more old retired people running things, more drugs - all kinds, sunburn and sweat instead of frostbite and snow to shovel.
I don’t see how America is special relative to “the world”. Many countries have gone through much more than that.
We’re doing the disaster speedrun.
Japan might be the expert: Totally decimated in WWII, including two nuclear bombings. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions. Fukushima diaster. Tokyo Sarin gas attack. Economic crash, ageing population, mass suicides.
Every country is unique. I don’t see the need to compare nor do I think op had any desire to compare
I didn’t start the comparison. It was the OP who said “We are the Florida of the world.”
True. Maybe a little less of a comparison than yours though.
