“In the richest country in the world, it’s an injustice that millions of people lack basic health care,” said Sen. Ed Markey.
“[T]he richest country in the world [is] struggling to provide basic nutrition to many of its infants,” according to Vox.
Politico tells us that “the richest country in the world could find itself out of money to combat a Covid resurgence on its own soil.”

If I object, in the United States, to the Israeli government’s brutal occupation of Palestine, most people will not only know what I’m talking about but also understand immediately what a hateful antisemite I must be.
If, on the other hand, I object, in the United States, to Morocco’s brutal occupation of Western Sahara, most people will have no idea what I’m talking about. Isn’t that actually worse?
