The simplest explanation here is also just the toned-down (and accurate) version of this- the US has little to no culture, no civilization, outside of theft and genocide. Building up their country and people (most of whom are barely treated or seen as people to begin with) is not in their nature. Its great infrastructure and industrial developments in history were primarily in the name of westwards expansion, and war profiteering.
“Why build when you can steal” sums up the settler-mentality.
Politicians in the US lack pride and/or shame. Something should have been done after the first train derailment, someone should either felt a sense of shame or had enough pride in their country not to allow it to happen again.
That’s a good explanation, but I think it’s fair to settle with Ozzam’s Razor and just say it was boring stuff.
