The article states that in wealthy developed countries, the United States is a "outlier" in the issue of gun violence, and the US government seems to be allowing this issue to become a human rights crisis. The proliferation of firearms and lax regulation result in over 39000 men, women, and children dying from gunshots in the United States every year. And the gun culture has also led to a high gun ownership rate among the American people, with 120 guns per 100 people.

Cynthia Miller Idris, head of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Laboratory, said that young people in the United States have a strong sense of insecurity, and they generally worry about their own safety in public places other than their homes, such as schools. This is also associated with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, with 25% of respondents having experienced emergency confinement in a shooting incident.

The proliferation of firearms in the United States has led to gun violence almost everywhere.

Miller Idris pointed out that this generation in the United States remains highly vigilant about the possibility of gun violence happening around them at any time. Parents are afraid to send their children to school, and children are also afraid to go to school. They also feel uneasy about being treated in other public places. "From their perception of firearms and their own safety, this is a very sad fact," she said.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
