We have longer life expectancy in Europe, half your homicide rate , and less personal debt. We also have way more paid holidays and leaves. So I ll end up seeing my familly and loved ones 2x more than you will , too busy to work for your billionaires overlord (who themselves have miserable lives).

You’re just cherrypicking the figures where we’re doing worse than the average OECD and not mentioning the ones where we’re outperforming the average.

Also, the US is a massive multicultural country, and shouldn’t be compared to fucking Norway or Denmark.

Sure. We have lower unemployment, higher average wages, higher labor force participation rate, more adults with secondary and tertiary education, etc.

And your point? I maintain, the US is a third world country. Travel international more often, you'll see.
