Not the worst, just average. Thats sad considering the US is the global superpower. Im from a south american country and here it is certainly worse than the US, but the fact that it is even close considering the wealth you guys have is baffling. I do not intend to say the US is the worst, just that it should be SO much better, and i hope people start demanding change, US citizens deserve better.
On the topic of Ukraine, the cost of support on that war is like 3% of your military budget. Thats peanuts. The US has the global currency. hard and soft power all over the world. An educated and productive population thats slightly growing and it is a desirable destination for skilled immigrants. I want ppl to realize the position the US is in, how powerful a country it is and how bullshit it is that so many of its citizens suffer needlessly.
