Meritocracy in the US is almost entirely a myth, outside of a few sports.
Free will as it's popularly understood doesn't actually exist.
Most shoes are bad for us and cause injuries over the course of our lives .
I think that's true for any country, not just US.
No one knows that for sure, though it's not some unlikely scenario.
I could see those things, except what’s wrong with my shoes? I’ve never heard anything like that before.
I happened to see this video recently about how shoes affect foot bones. The tl;dr is that the way most shoes are shaped is restrictive around the toes and squishes the foot in an unnatural way that may lead to long-term injury / bone deformations later in life.

The free will myth is especially damaging, as it steers people away from pragmatic solutions and towards blame and punitive policies.
Fully agree. Unfortunately we are a very small minority.
Free will is wholly incompatible with our modern understanding of physics but nobody will listen because they simply don’t like it.
