    I’m not arguing every country in those areas. My point is the joke doesn’t make sense as there’s large populations who believe this to be true.

    25℅ of my workmates are first or second generation USAians. They earn less here than they would in the US. By your logic, Australia is better place to live than the US.

    I mean, I don’t disagree.

    It’s usually: well, we may be a neoliberal state with the resulting capitalist issues but let’s be thankful we’re not living in the US.

    For example, most recently I heard this in a conversation about growing wealth disparity.
