I live in America . I've been to different parts of Europe, middle East , Africa . I've never been to Australia so I can't really judge although I have family there and would love to visit
I expected this, i have allot of family in the US and like most americans they think its the greatest place on earth, and that nothing comes close.
Ofcourse like most americans even my relatives dont travel much outside the US and see the rest of the world. It probably has something to do with one of the US's failings, the lack of officially sanction minimum vacation time, i think you have 2 weeks maximum paid vacation a year , when the world average is a month.
No wonder you dont travel.
Unlike you i have lived in 3 different countries and visited most of the world outside of Latin america,
ive even been to the US, although it was only the east coast, plus Chicago, Austin and Dallas texas.
Ive never been to the west coast.
Yes the US produces allot of global culture , ill give you that, but Europe which is around 1/3 bigger in population and about as wealthy also produces allot of cultural products.
Hell Japan is a bigger exporter of cultural than the US in all of Asia outside of the Philippines,
and China is expanding in culture as rapidly as it is in economy.
The US has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, but at the same time one of the highest inequality levels.
your rich as richer than most of the world, and your upper middle classes are also up there in the top, but
a large part of your population live like shit.
You have a large percentage of poor people, and your poor compare unfavorably even with someone living in a slovakian ghetto.
Your medical care is at the bottom of the list of developed countries and even some classed as developing countries, thats just one example.
but my anti Americanism has been going down allot due to legalization of cannabis,
I promised to never again set foot in the US, but this change is making me re-consider.
This is one area you beat australians, legalization and the quality of product available,
you have the best in the world at your doorstep, while i have to go all the way to Amsterdam, Marrakesh and Manali in India to get the best shit..
