It’s like we’re cursed.

I am saying that the present situation is not out of character for the USA.
We are the Florida of the world.
The US as a whole can’t really achieve Florida levels of… Floridaness. You need fewer good paying jobs, higher costs of living, lots more old retired people running things, more drugs - all kinds, sunburn and sweat instead of frostbite and snow to shovel.
I don’t see how America is special relative to “the world”. Many countries have gone through much more than that.
We’re doing the disaster speedrun.
Japan might be the expert: Totally decimated in WWII, including two nuclear bombings. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions. Fukushima diaster. Tokyo Sarin gas attack. Economic crash, ageing population, mass suicides.
Every country is unique. I don’t see the need to compare nor do I think op had any desire to compare
I didn’t start the comparison. It was the OP who said “We are the Florida of the world.”
True. Maybe a little less of a comparison than yours though.
