USA is not the most powerful or influential country in the world.

In a neighborhood where every home except USA has universal healthcare, living wages, metric system, climate agreements, accountability, proportionate security, and low gun violence, USA is the crazy house that just shouts about how everyone else is wrong and waves its giant arsenal.

Yeah, OK, the US isn't the most economically and militarily powerful country, and by extension, politically powerful🙄

To say otherwise makes you not serious

As does bringing the metric system into the argument

As someone from one of those other houses in the neighbourhood, yeah, nah the US is certainly the most powerful and influential in the world.
