maybe it's brainwashing but it's genuinely insane how much better the quality of life is in america compared to anywhere else. any other country is like a cheap imitation

It is some brainwashing for sure. While we are better than other countries for quality of life, there are some that beat us there. Now maybe we beat them instead in things like economic power but yeah

the quality of life in other countries is just as good or actually better lmfao you can live in mexico and live a better life than in the usa right now depending on what your needs are. the usa is NOT the best country in the world. sure we might be top 10, but we do not have the best quality of life out there. brainwashing for sure, but at least you know it. save up and travel and you’ll be able to see for yourself

I said depending on your needs lol it can be cheaper to live there if you have medical issues that mexico can help with especially if you’re in the working class given their universal healthcare system. we think mexico isn’t great and sure they have their own issues, but if you’re drowning in medical debt and mexico has the same treatment as the usa then it can be cheaper to live in mexico. google the safest places and you’d notice a difference in quality of life. it’s super individualized

also this development score doesn’t matter especially if you move there and get to CHOOSE your place of residency within the country and where you live currently within the usa. mexico is also just ONE example. there’s plenty of other countries in the world
