We once ranked 4th . This year, the U.S. slipped to its "worst-ever score,” 25th. I’ll show you why we’re falling so fast, and why we should increase freedom.     Bjorn Lomborg: Actions That Would Do More Good Than Wasting Trillions on Climate Change https://youtu.be/U39Gf_Qi4qo John Stossel 845K subscribers 209,895 views Jun 27, 2023 Bjorn Lomborg studies solutions for the world’s biggest problems. He says we should spend on the “best things first.” ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— I asked people on the street in New York how they’d spend money to help the world. Fixing climate change was the most common answer. Lomborg agrees that climate change is a problem that may threaten our kids someday. But he also says, “if you live most other places on the planet, you’re worried about the fact that your kids might die from easily curable diseases tonight.” Lomborg has a cheaper plan that would save millions of lives.       Chris Rufo's War Against Woke Institutions https://youtu.be/G4lCNRnNofg John Stossel 845K subscribers Subscribed 20K Share 360,033 views Jun 13, 2023 Chris Rufo makes some people angry.

But then his research on poverty connected him with government workers who leaked documents about absurd "woke" training programs. The documents showed that Seattle's Office of Civil Rights, for example, trained employees to "practice self-talk that affirms ... complicity in racism" and to work on "undoing your own whiteness." Media say Rufo has "invented" a crisis about this kind of thing, and that he's pushing a "moral panic." But Rufo has evidence. Watch the video above to see some of it.   Socialism Ruins The Environment https://youtu.be/QVh3dcdepkc John Stossel 845K subscribers 362,184 views Jun 6, 2023 Socialists say they care about the environment.

Greed "is literally destroying our planet,” says Sen. Bernie Senders. We need “an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few!” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Sanders and AOC, as usual, have it backwards. Socialist governments have “the worst environmental record on the planet,” says Tom Palmer, Executive Vice President of the Atlas Network. Here is evidence.   Ticking Time Bomb: Social Security & Medicare Are Broke https://youtu.be/4RmArwGGmPY John Stossel 845K subscribers 250,538 views May 30, 2023 When America promised to take care of us old people, politicians basically lit the fuse on a stick of dynamite. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The retirement benefits wo
