American forgetting about the whole of Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and some of south America.

The US is a better place to live than most of S America, huge parts of Asia, and half of Europe.

Just look at the migration numbers, people voting with their feet.

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.

25â„… 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.
