It's also used in gum, not sure how much though.

Craftsman has brought back a lot of their manufacturing back to the USA: https://www.craftsman.com/pages/where-its-made
You want me to compare a country to a continent, which contains several different governments?
The US system has it's problems, obviously, but it also has the best treatments in the world. People come from all over to get treatment in the US.
Money is a great motivator for "big pharma" to develop treatments.
I've been to the one at Bayard and it's crazy, mardi gras on the water. I doubt this one will be as busy, but it is closer to town so we'll see.

Keypad deadbolt lock for my front door. Not a "smart lock" (I try not to have anything online outside my house). I haven't pulled a key out of my pocket in years.

College prices went sky high when the government started backing student loans, they should have never done that.
