Tobias Lutke, CEO of Shopify, argues that criticism of the US is fair but should be balanced with appreciation for what the country has accomplished. Critique and praise, he says, are two sides of the same coin.

I think we like to bash the US at the moment just because of politics and stuff, but there's a lot to admire there, that's for sure.
Yeah, pretty remarkable. Lots to learn. I think we can criticize the United States as long as we also appreciate it for what it's accomplished. And I think we should be insightful enough to realize that many of those things are the same side, like two different sides of the same coin.
