Uh, yes? Or did we sell Connecticut to Canada while I wasn't paying attention or something? Anyway, you fucking dipshit, we're talking the nation as a whole compared to other nations, as wholes. We're not comparing Quebec and New Mexico, because that is really a less meaningful endeavor than seeing how long I can play with my balls.
Also, the racism comment was an obvious joke, you dumb fuck.
Flawed methodology puts us fourth, adjusted for inequality their own numbers drop us to twelfth. Imagine that, we have the capability, and should by all rights be the number four but due to the greed of one percent of us we're languishing in twelfth, at best. Other reports have us as low as 31st.
All that really matters is that we aren't first, and there's no excuse for it. Oh, except the "we're too massive a country to live as well as these micro-nations" excuse which I've already explained is nothing but fear fucking with you, and you're letting it because I guess you're just a pretty huge pussy. Like Tralina's but probably less hairy.

Whatever, dude. I can't go over the same shit again and again. I'm not sure whether it's the concept of averages or government that you don't understand, but you're clearly having an intellectual breakdown somewhere along the way if you can't reconcile the fact that the US is the richest, most powerful nation in the world with the fact that their average quality of life is "only" 4th in the world. That doesn't represent a governmental failure.
But fuck adjustments for equality. Equality of lifestyle isn't and never has been a governing motive in America.
