For the average person.
If you are rich, there is no better country in the world than the USA.
But if you work for a living you'll be getting ground into powder.
Sadly 50% of the population think they are rich, so they don't even realize how awful they have it. Being afraid of getting sick and going bankrupt is insane in 2025 for a civilized country.
Yet here we are....
I'd disagree, a stable and well functioning society is better for the rich - but they'd rather have instability and a penny more, than seeing the poor prosper in any fashion.
You only got one thing wrong The rich look at a poor person with a penny and think "that penny could be mine". They don't even see the poor person, just the penny.
And the craziest part is that unless you're homeless in the US, you're in the top 10% wealthiest in the world.
No man, I mean for the rich too.
It is depressing to travel around the US and see crumbling infrastructure, poverty, crime etc. and that makes you feel much less safe overall.
