As a non-USian, I've never quite understood the obsession with the Red, White and Blue, and the Stars and Stripes: the North Korean flag (for instance) is Red, White and Blue, with a star (albeit, singular) and stripes. They're pretty common elements of flags!
You mean opportunity to be killed/brutally "arrested" by an ICE agent if you're not white? Or the opportunity to go bankrupt or die when you're in an accident? Or maybe the opportunity to be on the receiving end in a school shooting?
As “opportunity” is a pretty vague state of measurement, I’ve just taken some of the ones offering overall better life quality, better work compensation, business readiness and immigration pathways;
Germany
Switzerland
Luxembourg
New Zealand
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
Finland
lol, "opportunity" such as a terrible job market, unaffordable housing, bankruptcy due to medical costs, defunded social programs, student debt despite massive brain drain in academia plus all the struggles other countries are dealing with too
I guess if you know zero about other wealthy countries, then the US seems good in comparison to poor and wartorn ones
Man as an American, we have no right telling anyone their country sucks while we have people who aren't treated as equal, while we have a pedo in office.
