    And isn’t the 3rd world most of the planet? The western developed countries are a small minority.

    I have the perspective of not being USian and living in the 3rd world.

      Most maybe, but not 90%. Even so, chances are depending on where you live you have a greater average lifespan and access to healthcare, your diet isn’t killing you slowly, attending school doesn’t put your life in jeopardy, you have more free time, and closer ties to family and community.

      The US is not a leader, nor even a good representative of a ‘better place to live’. Even if you are thinking about applying for asylum I strongly recommend you put the US at the bottom of your list if that is an option.
