A) a country where one can go bankrupt due to a trip to the hospital can't be the "best country ever." B) they're yelling "commies!" when at this point a whole generation has grown up post-Cold War? Also, China makes a lot of stuff Americans like (electronics, TikTok, etc.).

So endlessly frustrating. UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL should be a perennial, but the slow decay of TPB availability decimated its sales, and now it's not available at all through Marvel's main direct sales distributor. And no, a "Complete Omnibus" is not the solution.
