You need to actually take a look at all the QOL statistics available out there. The US is better than, say, Mexico or most 3rd world countries but almost every other Western nation is kicking their ass when it comes to most living metrics.
In this summary it gives inordinate value to purchasing power without consideration for things like needing to pay for healthcare and even still gets ranked 12th overall, and that is almost certain to change if your felon leader starts implementing tariffs for everything.
Personally I was shocked to see Canada below the US because as a Canadian I can say without a doubt that every other Canadian I’ve ever met would absolutely prefer to live in Canada given the choice. Housing crisis be damned.
The irony of ya’ll needing a ‘come to jesus’ moment to realize how much of a shithole the country has become is real.
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.
L.O.L.

But do it by state…
Indeed, Massachusetts is kicking ass while Okla-fucking-homa is a dump.
Indeed the amount of streamers and conservatives gushing about Japan right now is kinda surreal.
Like they genuinely thought the US has a monopoly on freedom -_- name a western country that ain’t.
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.
