Because it has the largest GDP, largest military, and largest entertainment industry, and is home to the world’s largest companies. So it’s kind of an important country that affects other countries directly and indirectly all the time.
Fair, I suppose because the US tends to be belittled so often online so I never made the connection to those sizable facts. It’s a bit too much still though, don’t you think? News about the US somehow always taking over headlines? The world always looks at the US. There’s always something about Elon Musk or the American government even on Lemmy’s “non-Reddit-exodus” instances. When Apple releases a new phone, people won’t stop talking about it positively and negatively. Europe does a better job with most things yet it’s less common to find them in the spotlight.
