I think it is possible to live accordingly to the teaching of Buddhism. One need to look past the social norms and evaluate one self to weed out the “selfish cravings and desires”.
The United States is defiantly a Buddhist worst nightmare. With free enterprise and capitalism to constant new made up fears. It is difficult to concentrate on finding Nirvana. When you do the rewards are massive. Would Siddhartha Gautama survive New York City in current day? I would think probably not, but his teachings are important groundwork’s on living a fuller life and be more weary of the temptations of a capitalistic nation.

Perhaps so, but as you go on to say, that's not such an easy thing to do in today's world
