The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

It would be very easy to point to a million things that America clearly does wrong. The incarceration rate is the highest in the world. There are great universities, but tuition is unreasonable and student loan debt is skyrocketing. Health care is expensive and coverage is far from universal. Just go for a walk in San Francisco if you want to see with your own eyes gaudy wealth and desperate poverty living side by side. The American ranking in education seems to fall every year, and a child's zipcode seems to have more of an impact on their schooling and their prospects than their talents or intelligence. The children can't even feel safe going to school, with the prospect of gun violence confronting them every day. Cash seems to rule everything. The politics is polarized and the President is unfit for office. It is in many ways still a highly segregated country. And they are still minting pennies for some reason! The list goes on and on.
But what does America do right? Is there anything America does best?

genuine answer: despite all the systemic mechanisms that keep people down, there still exists the possibility that with a lot of grit and a little bit of luck, basically anyone can better their station in life.
