Good questions! Many of us are thinking about this, and watching the trends closely. With each wave of immigration, there is another slide, away from the exceptional to the mean---it started in the 19th c. and has not broken trend since.

Hong Kong suffered the same benign neglect of British rule, suggesting that it wasn't the mindset of English colonists that produced success, but the lack of intrusive government.

It might be argued that the Dutch were not only as much about localism and individualism as the British, but that they also via New Amsterdam set that tone of benign neglect in America. Also, they combined it with arguably greater religious tolerance than England displayed.

Yeah but if you don't mind getting bankrupted by medical bills, appalling food standards, don't expect any paid annual/ maternity/paternity/sick leave, or a minimum wage and aren't bothered by rampant mass shootings then US citizens are vastly better off.

It's not really the same air given what's pumped into it in each country. It's not really the same TV given the over expanse of ads on American TV and it's not really the same food. And the US don't have accessible healthcare wirhout the risk of personal bankruptcy.

Both old England and new England are regressing to the mean...or committing suicide. I guess it depends on your POV whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. They were both relatively unique, so it's sort of a shame they won't survive. There was always plenty of the other.
