OECD Main Economic Indicators Puns

It should just be accepted that America can't go on this way and is in collapse now (this also applies to Europe, don't pretend that everything is hunky-dory over there). When I say now, I mean right now.

Collapse isn't Mad Max time; it's the gradual descent, the lack of a future, the betrayal of the public trust and social contract. Let's look at a few reasons why America is definitively already in major collapse:

• We load children with six-figure debt when they can't even qualify for a credit card much less understand what that kind of debt means. They are exploited for the profit of the wealthy and school administrators, then abandoned to a hostile job market they aren't ready for. Think about this long enough and your head may explode from the cruelty, cynicism, and absurdity of it.
• Teachers are woefully underpaid and undervalued. Children are generally disinvested in, and, to go with the above, actively exploited and abused. I've worked as a teacher. It is hell, and what they're doing to the kids breaks my heart.
• Homeownership? What's that? I'll dial up my realtor if I win the lotto or my wealthy distant uncle dies.
• Rent is an actual joke, just not a funny one.
• Pay. Most jobs don't pay enough to be worth going to. Antiwork is a testament to this every day. People are quitting en masse if it is at all possible for them to do so because of this. Might as well live in a van or on ramen noodles than work a full-time job you hate for no take-home pay after expenses.
• Adding to that, most people can't meet their expenses in the first place, not even close depending on where you live.
• To boot, climate change is obviously here, obviously terrifying, and a literal existential threat to humanity that hits the poor first and the hardest. We could be a world leader in combating climate change, but instead, we actively harm efforts to do so.
• In spite of this, we spend more on our military than most of the nations on Earth combined do. We do this to participate in illegal wars that murder civilians en masse. We do this to make Raytheon and Boeing richer. The actual epitome of evil.
• Speaking of evil, our "healthcare system" is not a healthcare system whatsoever, but a profit system, and it facilitates the de facto homicide of millions of Americans a year literally just for money. Literally just for money. These last two are, again, things which if you allow yourself to think about them long enough, you might go crazy.
• Our 'progressi
