I’ve really lost my faith in the US.

That short term focus causes a lot of damage to a lot of people.
But, of course, too many shareholders are sociopathically focused on their own enrichment with absolutely zero concern for the harms thay cause to the rest of society.

they want the stock price to go up now, not a year from now.
That’s the core of the issue. Short term focus at the axpense of the long term sustainability of the entire enterprise.

You would think it should be in the company (and its shareholders) interests to make a product that people really want to buy, instead of becoming increasingly hostile to their customers.

In my honest opinion, American exceptionalism should be dead and buried
Should be, but it’s such a deeply ingrained part of their national self image that it’ll take a few generations of consistent effort to make it fade away.
