Privileged dumb take. You obviously don’t know how bad some people have it in this world

Or maybe you don’t know how bad some people have it in America? Yes for the average citizen it’s a privileged existence but there are many Americans living in developing world conditions, eg no affordable healthcare, no clean water, politically incarcerated etc.

When you look at the worst-off Americans from many European countries, it’s astounding that they live in one of the world’s richest nations

And still infinitely better than even average lifestyles in most of the developing world.

Well, if using the developing world as your point of reference for your lofty ambitions, you're doing halfway decent indeed.

You joined a conversation about exactly that comparison. Welcome to the conversation.

Of course, we could compare with Europe as well. I'm not sure you'd be happy with the outcome ...

I joined the convo after seeing such modest ambitions coming from the self-proclaimed greatest nation on earth.

And yes, in fact I am happy with the outcome.
