For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical care. Since 2015, at least 15 children have died of treatable conditions.
But we have a strategic policy of enclosure and proletarianization that has been ongoing since the closing of the frontier. The Corporate American Dream is to have labor conditions on par with the The Philippeans accessible from Louisiana or Arizona or Kentucky.
Our problem is largely one of population migration. You can’t find a large enough exploitable class of laborers, because Americans keep picking up and traveling to wealthier corners of the country. So the modern political project is to start closing off borders (US/Mexico and US/Canada and the various Caribbean islands), inflating the domestic population (One Billion Americans), and segregating the interior population a la South African apartheid (The Network State).
We are, if anything, too developed. It’s too easy to move out of the backwaters of Alabama and find a job in Atlanta, Georgia. Too easy to become a petite bourgeois millionaire in Seattle and buy a cheap McMansion in the Boise suburbs. Too easy to get a college degree, land a white-collar job, and enter the professional managerial class.
US domestic policy is now focused on driving up the barriers between ethnic and gender cohorts (anti-DEI initiatives), shrinking PMC (AI initiatives), and turning the unemployed underclass into a paramilitary under the thumb of the plutocracy (ICE, private security services, massive spying initiatives).
Dubai is the future, baby! But we’re not there yet.

Parts of it, certainly.
