I'd put USA maybe top 15, maybe top 20.
Probably top 15ish. Depends if you are rich or not
That's an interesting discussion because if I was poor the US of A is relatively low on my list of countries i'd like to be a citizen of (slightly different from "living in" i guess) due to questionable free healthcare, the disastrous state of social insurance, etc. But if I'm mega wealthy the US of A is also not that high considering all the nations with next to no taxes etc.
Although if you are mega wealthy AND interested in getting even more disgustingly wealthy, the US is pretty attractive I guess. Although there are lots of other countries desperate for investment and much easier to bribe and/or willing to look the other way on stuff like environmental regulations.
I just happen to be the kind of guy who, were i wildly wealthy, would be incredibly lazy with said wealth. Which of course is why I'll never be wildly wealthy.
Long term middle class, like into retirement, I think some EU countries are better off. The US is in the process of actively burning our middle class and their ability to save money to the ground. I have like zero real evidence to back this up.
Sort term, I don't think it matters to much. Depends on what you are looking for.
so i have adblock disabled on reddit and theres this "instead of ad, click here it makes u go random subreddit" so i click and get to netherlands subreddit and find this
10/10 country would be neighbour again
also if i could choose where to live right now id most likely pick australia fuck usa
Yeah, Australia is a no go. Any place with spiders that large is not ok.
Edit: PassiveAce you want nothing to do with boxing one of those monsters. Its like my buddy who wanted to get to know the Emus at the farm next to his house. One hour later we were in the ER.
