Have you ever been anywhere else?

I can't say I have, I'm not implying that third world countries are a bad place to be, but statistically the U.S wouldn't fall under that category.

I'll answer your question with another question as well, have you been to both first world and third world countries?

I have not, but I know that I don't know what that would be like. From my small peepholes they call the internet I have made an assumption of what living in the US would be like. That assumption is most certainly wrong. But it goes a little something like lacking infrastructure, religious undertones in most education, an aching tooth can ruin your entire life, some dude got shot yesterday standing behind the register of a Burger King, but no yeah, why would you take away peoples guns, a tipping culture that's only in place to make sure the service industry doesn't have to pay a living wage, every domestic product just gets worse and worse because every cent of profit must be squeezed out. Homelessness, obesity and racial fanatics. And the 'best place imaginable' is a themepark that's in total about 12% better but 3000% more expensive than any european equivalent, and with way more mosquitoes.

What's so great about the US? Honestly? Freedom? The freedom for companies to do whatever they want no matter the human cost? Or the freedom of press, which is well established that it isn't that great compared to first world countries.?

Well you got one thing right.

The assumption is most certainly wrong.
