PLZ NIGGA. PLZ.
American technology and science is still great. The New Horizons spacecraft recently flew past Pluto and discovered that it is a world of wonders, with mile wide mountains of water ice floating in a sea of frozen nitrogen. Next visit will be to a mysterious Kuiper belt object. The American-led LIGO gravitational wave observatory has recently verified Einstein's theory of general relativity, proven that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, and is able to observe a significant fraction of the visible universe.
The real problem with the recent misrule is that scientific and technological progress almost stopped. It's a exponential growth curve, so slowing it down is a Big Deal to our grandchildren.
