      At the end of the day, while living in the US does have its share of issues, they absolutely do not compare to living in Africa.

        Any country with actual welfare, a decent living wage minimum salary, normal Healthcare prices, a gun ban and a non-corrupt police system or at least less prone to corruption.

            Yeah, they’re still behind most other “first world” countries in every metric stated.

            Comparing the USA to a country in the middle East or Africa or something? Yeah, the USA is a cakewalk by comparison to many. Compared to any country that’s similarly regarded, it’s dog shit for living conditions.

              “Middle East” countries do pretty well if they’re not the target of bombings (Qatar, UAE etc.), and are luxury vacation spots. Lots of US expats moving to Oman.

          I live in Europe. It’s not as beauty as it sounds. I’m glad of what we have, but is not perfect, sometimes is not even better than the USE.

          We have welfare, but more and more people are forced to private medical companies because waiting lists are becoming ridiculously long.

          Violence and support for fascism is on the rise. Terrorism is on the rise. War is at our doorsteps. Many countries are talking about bringing back mandatory military training for all our citizens.

          We may have better minimum wage, but median wages are lower and taxes and prices tend to be much higher. On average we can afford tu buy less with out money.

          At least in my country we all live in small dehumanizing small and packed apartments. Living space is much smaller. Everything is human made, we barely have natural reserves or parks.

          Employment is getting better but sometimes unemployment hits really hard, myself was years without being able to get a job during last decade.

          Political tensions and population conflict is on the rise. Many countries are also on the verge or civil war, secession, or some big problem of the sort.

          US is not perfect, and I wouldn’t want privatized healthcare, or guns in my country by any means, but I would still would love some things they have in the US. And in other things we are just as bad.

      and canada, USA plus canada is easy mode. Australia is on some shit right now, they deserve it.

      IDK what the others are except for europe and africa, which, yeah that’s about right. Africa is a hot fucking minute away from some spicy shit at the moment, and the other one is probably the same.

          aussie land is currently imprisoning a whistleblower exposing warcrimes, as well as reams of government corruption scandals. Africa is undergoing numerous disliked governments, coups, and corruption scandals as well.

          USA and canada is pretty tame otherwise.

              idk man, i would say that australia is probably worse than the US, especially considering that they got fucking couped by the us a hot minute ago.

              Currently australia is whoring its resources out to the world, while shipping all of it’s realestate overseas to be owned by foreign investment companies. While fucking people over with shit like made up robo debt collection for some unforsaken reason.
