i would say it’s middle of the road compared to nordic countries, those places should be baseline for quality of living in 2023, but yeah it’s not horrible i suppose

Bigging up settler colonial trash as expected. This is why no one is taking u serious lol

Australian minimum wage is crazy high and North Korea isn’t nuking anyone

whats your point exactly ?

It's crazy how so many Americans and Canadians think they live in countries with bad quality of life...

not yet but the fact that they have one, crashed them multiple times in the Sea of Japan...

uhh not really. America is responsible for a lot of why the world is like this.

This is like a middle school take lol

digging s*** out of the ground is the rooland way pal

maybe if you live in queenstown the rest has gone backwards massively. auckland is crime central atm and the avg person still cant buy a house. there's a reason migration between the two countries is all one way...

ive visited Auckland and had a great time there... reggae scene is big in NZ, but so is meth and crack...

Japan gets threaten by NK nukes as much as USA does lmao & USA also gets threaten by Middle East & China for over 20 years. NK isnt doing s***.

Didnt read nor see it.

No they dont - not for their country lol. Again relative.

Its a literal fact they have the same living and spending habit as USA in Australia & Japan.

The money conversion isnt 1 to 1 but its the literal same in terms of spending and earning for them in their own country.

They are not broke - they are 1st world as hell and have more than a handful of things better than usa and canada.

Their middle class is the same as our middle class. Luxieries and all.

Its simply wrong both culturally and statistically.

cracker ?

Also money earning sucks ass in USA until youre comfortably middle - middle class.

And of course depending on state.

San Francisco & NY are terrible money earners etc. Where their middle class is literally being "rich" everywhere else in the country.

Not a good point.

The US is one of the most unstable counties socially at the moment. The democracy is backsliding. Everyone here is mentally ill to some degree. People have a fetish for guns and hurting others. Everyone's lonely due to late stage capitalism. Houses aren't affordable. Anyone under 40 is probably going to see the coastal states drown underwater in the next few decades. AI is going to steal everyone's jobs. Our president is 82 years old. The other choice of leadership is a 2 x indicted, 2 x lost popular vote, and 2 x impeached orange puffball who has an actual cult following. Healthcare is unaffordable. Education is being politically weaponized against the younger generations. Can just keep going on but it's just too depressing.

most of your arguments are hypothetical geopolitical arguments i dont really understand how this translates to the avg person's quality of life

the fundamentals are education, healthcare, infrastructure etc. and to that point most western (or at least anglosphere) countries aren't THAT far apart.

the thread title is fine and agreeable but your replies are pretty bizarre

resort to name calling cause you have nothing to contribute but bring up "race" call me "cracker"

okay nigga foh, why you even in here breh

And America has hella natural disators as well. Its just that America is way way bigger than Japan - so there are certain "safe zones" depending on the disaster yoi dislike the most.

Not another good point.

I can avoid mid west tornadoes in usa by going to the south but then im facing major earthquakes and hurricanes - then i can avoid that by going west or east but now im facing forest fires and tusnamis etc.

Its a pick your poison thing in usa but they all still suck and we have crazy events of one of them every few years.

wait until OP finds out that not all parts of a country experience the same luxuries. most americans live in uncertainty and fear. not the parts you fantasize about tho.

im just giving back the replies that im receiving with the same energy, i felt like my thread was mostly about geo-politics but yall be talkin bout something else...

if you don’t go on somewhere dumbass nigga

you lucky @Water_Giver csres enough to type out and respond to you

ain’t nobody bout to debate you over this bullshit remedial ass

am I supposed to be impressed that @Water_Giver replied ??????? so much ass kissing

THANK YOU @Water_Giver you made my whole day

but you made @999Wrld hole weak

79% of Americans fear for the future.

axios.com/2023/04/30/anxious-youth-poll-us-mass-shootings

North Korea's gonna do what

Ill do you one better... im talkin bout how USA's future is certain... geography wise i guess

fresh water will always be there

so are both oceans protecting it

the insane vast fertile land too... its really crazy tho

the 10 things americans fear can be summed up into 3 categories really, Economical, Political and Familial... majority being Political

you right tho, but nobody's forcing people to live in San Fran or NY... Pittsburgh is tight af

I agree with you, money is relative but the amount of money we make here is really crazy
