It’s because our Constitution gives us the inalienable right to make damned fools of ourselves, so we just end up stumbling into shit first.

Testbed for all sorts of policies!

Things learned:

✅ Democracy 🚫 Slavery 🚫 Political machines ✅ Railroads ✅ Splitting up monopolies 🚫 Free market healthcare ✅ Cars in low density areas 🚫 Cars in high density areas ✅ Buses in high density areas

Maybe the secret is they accumulated a ton of shitty experimental policies! All we have to do to leapfrog them is to simply bring back policies that are known to be shit!
