I did not encounter the aggressive panhandling in Ukraine that I encounter almost daily in the USA, despite people being poorer generally.
Capitalism wastes the talents of our people, so we have lots of people who live on alcohol, drugs, psychiatric medication, and on Christianist funamentalism.

You have the freedom to say whatever critical things you want about America in America, do you think you could get away with saying critical things about china if you lived in china? Go see how far freedom of speech will get you there.
All talk.
The US is a lot like South Africa, fucked up infrastructure, still recovering from segregation/apartheid, built on genocide, racist politics, very few social safety nets most of which just keep people at a subsistence level, private health care, shitty public schools, etc

Focusing on one thing however and trying to say it discredits any other similarity is meaningless. We're socially, historically and infrastructurally the same pretty much. Even their history of internal colonialism, displacement of indigenous peoples... the homeland system is just like the reservation system. They also have their notion of exceptionalism, which is not unlike American exceptionalism.
Basically, we're a backward religious country with an outdated infrastructure crawling out of segregation/apartheid and struggling to shake off that mindset and institutionalism.
And measuring or attempting to measure a society based on your personal access to hookers is.......Its ridiculous, the world doesn't revolve around P4P, its not any society's goal nor obligation to provide hookers for men who can't get laid. That said, there are hoes every where but its not a measure of society in a positive way
If we didn’t have such easy access to rampant media outlets, we wouldn’t have this fear of missing out when we see others having the good life, causing resentment. Over seas in other countries the media isnt as ubiquitous therefore the people are more content with their lives, not seeing other people’s fake platforms that you see so much in America. America has fake media, and it’s up to those who can do for themselves to sort out what is real or fake. Too many lazy and poor
People think they’re entitled to what the hustlers get.
Have you ever considered that there may be other causes?
Single parent households and children born to children lead to a lot of disadvantages regardless of race for many reasons.
The rate for each among the AA population is much higher. This helps to create the perceived white priveledge that often gets used as an excuse to give up.
Bottom line, the USA is not at the top of the heap on any single metric other than GDP and military power. But it is at the better end of the scale on a lot of metrics.
On balance, despite its shortcomings, I can’t think of anyplace else I’d rather live.

Now, look at the rates of poverty for people who
1. Have never been arrested
2. Graduated high school
3. Are married
For this group of people, the rate of poverty between Blacks and Whites is nearly identical.
Racism ! White Privilege ! Victimhood !
SJG, you fucking hypocrite.... try studying up on something other than your own opinions before you post....."Capitalism wastes the talents of our people, so we have lots of people who live on alcohol, drugs, psychiatric medication, and on Christianist funamentalism." It is that Christian Fundamentalism that you are trying to exploit by guilting people into helping the poor. Fuck the poor, if they cannot support themselves then abort them, you want late term abortions, how about aborting the 35 year old child still dependent on the govt. It's all about Darwinism right.... Strong survive the weak perish... the next generation is stronger.
I don't believe any of this I am just sick of the hypocrisy
Because Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution, and not an ethical or religious belief. People don't "follow" Darwinism like the Hare Krishna.
I'm not in agreement with SJG (thankfully...), but I believe in being charitable to those in need. And I'm not remotely religious.
You see it every day on the news, hell even on this thread! People spouting off statistics like it proves their point. People who barely have a high school diploma quoting statistics, calculated by PhD economists and sociologists, that they read in a biased news article.
The problem is that people who talk too much don’t think, and the people who think a lot don’t talk enough.
And the middle-class family creates its own scapegoats. This is how you get people living on drugs, alcohol, and psychiatric medications.
And DC, people who are trying to be good people are the real hypocrites. Their acts are predicated on finding faults in others, in wanting to believe that our world is fair and just. Christianity is about turning people into Uncle Toms.

Qhat do you think marriage is ?
Most of them left because they also felt life was better someplace else --all of them either moved back to the US or come back here and ended up splitting time between their new home and here.
Not one of them had any issue qualifying for Visas. One exception is Singapore where you better have a certain skill set if you want to migrate there.
The USA is a big country---typically what someone doesn't like about living ( as an example) in the DC area can be solved by moving to someplace in the SW part of the country.
I'd rather not be like Germany or Denmark....if you like them so much move there. I know people who have...guess what? They are back in the USA again.
I think you’re all living a pipe dream if you believe the grass is greener anyplace than here.
I don’t know for a fact and I’m not interested in researching this but I’ll bet that there are more folks from all of those places that you guys think are so wonderful living here in America, than there are Americans living there in those wonderful places that allow prostitution, if y’all think that’s a reason to leave, my take on it is you’re a bunch of losers. Really just beyond stupid.
But a couple of weeks a year was it for me and I decided the problems with remote ownership just wasn't worth the investment.
Fucking homos.
The United States has a horrible history of race relations. This has much to do with why it has a per capita homicide rate much higher than most other industrialized countries.
And Daddilac, just like we have an expanding wealth gap, we also have an expanding suitable employment gap. Most people are grossly under employed, and then some, usually the scape goats of the middle-class family, are unlikely to ever be able to live anything which passes in our society as a normal adult life.
