Great question! My friend and I were actually trying to come up with examples of good things the US government has done earlier today, and we were really racking our brains. Lol. It's all a matter of perspective, really, but I feel like a lot of popular entertainment (to give just a few examples, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, John Hughes movies, and the music of Prince and Michael Jackson) have captured the hearts and imagination of millions of people and brought them joy, even if we can argue they came from the system and are intended in some ways to promote system agendas.
Similarly, I am grateful for the modern conveniences generated from the system such as paved roads, refrigeration, and the internet. Again,though, it's a matter of perspective. We could argue that people were perfectly happy, if not more, before these things were invented.
