What IS Wrong with Us?

Aren’t you a little concerned about the overall American IQ? I mean, What is with us?
Friday the European Union put in place a new set of privacy regulations to keep guys like Gates and Zuck in line. Their immediate response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal--already the EU has regs in place, which we may even benefit from.
Tho’ there is this from the UK Register:
 The UK's official registrar of businesses and organizations, Companies House, lists an active company called Emerdata Limited, headquartered at the same offices as SCL Elections and run by much of the same management and investors as Cambridge Analytica. It even describes itself as a "data processing, hosting and related activities" organization.
Nonethelesss, the feckless U.S. House and Senate did nothing.

Australia had a mass shooting 19 years ago in Port Arthur. An intellectually challenged young man shot 60 people. Thirty-five died, and the country promptly organized a gun buy-back. Hasn’t had a mass shooting since.
We have almost one a week, many take place in high schools, and still nothing.

Anybody with a critical IQ has to wonder about the IQ of the American populace. Other countries can do it. Why not us?
