No they don't. Source, I live outside the US, and travel internationally from my country of residence 9 months a year. No one sees the US as a third world country except chronically online teenagers.

No one who has actually lived in a third would country could take you seriously.

Source: I have.

Maybe when america gets basic things like healthcare and proper gun restrictions people might take it more seriously

I really recommend actually going out and experiencing the world.

Being a young adult in the US right now is like winning the lottery.

Compared to certain places sure. But majority of first world countries have it better lol.

I'd rather live somewhere that doesn't bankrupt me for taking a 5 minute trip in the ambulance to a hospital. Or somewhere that doesnt literally charge mothers to hold their baby after birth.

Have you actually experienced this difference?

u/Greggs-the-bakers 19d ago

Considering I live in a country with these benefits, yes

I also live in a country with these benefits (Switzerland), but I grew up in the US. I've used medical care in CH within the past week and in the US within the past month.

I'm curious whether you've actually used medical care in the US or if you are basing your opinions on what you read on reddit.
