Italy really knows how to focus on what’s really important to address challenges like high unemployment and weak economy.

Just because there are other problems that are more pressing or severe doesn't mean that the proposed solution to a particular problem is not worth pursuing.

I guess it depends on whether the amount of effort applied to solving the problems is proportional to the severity of the problems.

On this side of the Atlantic, we have a catastrophic opioid epidemic, crumbling infrastructure, inflation and recession, failing national and state-level institutions, mass shootings, growing income inequality, race- and class-warfare, and out-of-control policing. But what are ~50% of our politicians currently focusing on? What genitals people have and what bathroom they should be allowed to go in.
