A very poignant statement about America. [View all]

It was made in 2019, but it is so obviously true.

"...Most Americans have become accustomed to the country’s decaying infrastructure, the endemic crisis of drug addiction, and the structural racism of the society. If you don’t fix the cracked window in your house right away, you can begin to get used to it. And then another window cracks, and then the back door stops working and the roof begins to leak, and you don’t realize until it’s too late that the house is falling down around you."
