How many countries would be easier than USA?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

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.

That still makes USA easy mode compared to most countries.

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.
