this isn't "failure," this is a deliberate choice to kill people because the faceless mass of imperial interests that is the us government decided it was more profitable

the us government, and really almost every western government, chose mass death. they willingly and openly engaged in a policy of killing their own citizens.
the reasons are varied: some thought it would be politically advantageous if a lot of people died. some thought it would make them more money if a lot of people died. some were afraid of the ramifications of not letting a lot of people die.
but make no mistake, it's as willfull as if they had simply ordered the military to go around shooting their own citizens. this is what the neoliberal state chose.
