It’s kind of funny because this problem has been around the us since its inception of not using its competitive edge

Blame the lazy ceos who have been too scared to expand their businesses and allow even millennials to work in what they’ve studied. It’s been a never ending boomer party for how long?
Blame what is essentially a racial caste system for putting white men’s egos over what’s good for the country. Yeah I know this is just purely an economism-based chauvinism sprinkled in with some nationalism, but I’m just showing how irrational fascists are with even achieving their own goals.
Blame the general culture of pig-headedness America’s ruling class is known for. Green energy is borderline nonexistent, no one wants to actually build infrastructure because “muh freedumz”, shit sucks. It’s hypocritical we claim to love the free market yet we allow the capitalist class to engage in its own form of syndicalism by having capital unions collectively work together and fight for their interests. The underemployment issue could be a lot better if we forced companies to actually compete.
How much are we wasting on wars, something we use as a ‘poor people disposal method?’. Fascists shed crocodile tears about male disposability and Trump’s in no rush to fully abolish selective service in ernest. Look at how many older chuds cluck about how more younger men should be soldiers, especially ones that never served.
TL;DR: If capitalism wasn’t so myopic and capable of thinking long term, the US might actually pose a plausible alternative to socialism. Now I need to shower, I gave capitalism CONSTRUCTIVE criticism instead of pure dunking.
If capitalism wasn’t so myopic and capable of thinking long term
I think the two are inseparable? i.e. short-sightedness is an emergent property of a society where individuals are motivated by capitalism.
Neoliberalism is an attempt to control the emergent properties of capitalism without changing individual’s underlying motivators, and we see that it fails to do so.
The properties of a society emerge from the incentives, motivators, and beliefs that individuals in that society hold.
Changing motivators at the individual level is how a society can start thinking long term, and I don’t think there’s a way keep the extractive greed that capitalism promotes AND have a society that is run for the benefit of all people in the long term.

I really like Diallo’s thoughts on a cultural revolution
