How have I misjudged the US ? I am always curious when I hear that, seems almost obtuse to the problems we have.


Only thing we actual lead the world in is:

1. People who believe in the imaginary, omnipotent man in the sky. Thus, we suffer all of the associated nonsense that comes with that.

2. Military spending

3. Number of people incarcerated. Oh yea, we STILL execute people.

We have two million plus people in prison, widespread poverty, crime, violence, lower life expectancy, 30 million plus people without health insurance, employees have few rights compared to other western nations, no guaranteed vacation, parental leave etc (well not adequate), a housing crisis. because greedy corporations are buying up "starter" homes. Add in the growing authoritarianism, stripping of rights thanks religious zealots controlling highest court in the land. Nothing will change for better any time soon.

Well you exaggerate our problems greatly and you will find that similar issues also exist in each of those nations you mentioned, but nobody is going to convince you of that until you see it for yourself. So go find out.
