    Oh sure, it’s better than the poorest places on earth…

    For the richest country on earth, that’s a comically low bar.

      Way more people live in the poorest places on earth than the US. We’re talking billions. ~652 million people live in latin america. ~1.4 billion people live in india. That’s 25% of human population right there and i’m ignoring eastern europe, lots of asia, lots of the middle east… all of africa (another 1.2 billion)
