      Technically slowing down is also a form of acceleration, because it’s a change in speed/direction. Technically the US is developing, just downwards.

        Worse, downwards implies gravity. There’s no gravity to it, it’s not driving the car if we stop it stops. We’re actually regressing, we see the path forward get scared and start aggressively reversing.
