The major one tthat I can think of are legal rasism and the "good samaritan" law that is basically "you cannot be held accountable in front of the law for any injuries you caused to a person qhile you were taking actions to prevent them harm or save their life" for example, cracking a rib suring CPR, breaking a bone while tackling them away of danger etc.

>>553238 They had to compete with an alternative approach to capitalism. Which means they had to take social-econmoic measurements which are unatural to pure capitalism which we have now. For example, in order of the so called "sputnik shock" (when the soviets managed to place the first satelite in space) the US goverment made many education reforms which increased social mobility and chance equality. This measurements made the USA once more world leading in science and technology.

>>553224 Things changed in the late eighties when reactionist hardliners in the USA managed to use their technological lead position to overpower the soviets economically most significant by supporting any kind of anticommunist extremists (for example islamists) in dirty proxy wars all over the globe. When the soviet union was beaten things started rolling back to pre-cold-war capitalism. "Liberalization" of (financial) markets and a much brasher military interventions.
