If the difference is a factor of 187 wouldn’t you need 187 years in South Dudan to equal a year’s income in the US? 187 / 12 is just over 15, but now you’re comparing years to months
That website is using the nations carbon footprint as a part of their measure of happiness which I find confusing. Carbon footprint is important sure but it doesn’t relate to happiness and gives undeveloped countries an advantage.
Haven’t you heard? Mexico doesn’t exist it is just drawn on the map to make people think that Canada and The United States are to the rest of the American Continent. Everyone who says they are from Mexico are just paid actors. /s
Also they left out New Zealand, which will not come as a surprise for New Zealanders. They will probably be happy that they are even on the map.
Any country with actual welfare, a decent living wage minimum salary, normal Healthcare prices, a gun ban and a non-corrupt police system or at least less prone to corruption.
Yeah, they’re still behind most other “first world” countries in every metric stated.
Comparing the USA to a country in the middle East or Africa or something? Yeah, the USA is a cakewalk by comparison to many. Compared to any country that’s similarly regarded, it’s dog shit for living conditions.
“Middle East” countries do pretty well if they’re not the target of bombings (Qatar, UAE etc.), and are luxury vacation spots. Lots of US expats moving to Oman.
I live in Europe. It’s not as beauty as it sounds. I’m glad of what we have, but is not perfect, sometimes is not even better than the USE.
We have welfare, but more and more people are forced to private medical companies because waiting lists are becoming ridiculously long.
Violence and support for fascism is on the rise. Terrorism is on the rise. War is at our doorsteps. Many countries are talking about bringing back mandatory military training for all our citizens.
We may have better minimum wage, but median wages are lower and taxes and prices tend to be much higher. On average we can afford tu buy less with out money.
At least in my country we all live in small dehumanizing small and packed apartments. Living space is much smaller. Everything is human made, we barely have natural reserves or parks.
Employment is getting better but sometimes unemployment hits really hard, myself was years without being able to get a job during last decade.
Political tensions and population conflict is on the rise. Many countries are also on the verge or civil war, secession, or some big problem of the sort.
US is not perfect, and I wouldn’t want privatized healthcare, or guns in my country by any means, but I would still would love some things they have in the US. And in other things we are just as bad.
Really? How displaced is your view if you consider the USA easy mode?
Also, fuck Mexico. Apparently.
At the end of the day, while living in the US does have its share of issues, they absolutely do not compare to living in Africa.

To equal a month’s income, you mean?

it would not change the result this time, but these numbers lie a lot if you don’t factor in cost of living.
No, America bad. Lemmy doot left side. Calcium
I clapped and good bones
There’s a bunch of African countries I would rather live than the US, although maybe not exactly South Africa or Congo…
Such as?
A bunch of African countries rank higher than the US in the HPI https://happyplanetindex.org/hpi/?show_all=true

Namibia, Kenya, Mauritius, Ghana, Botswana, The Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Equatorial Guinea.
Well go right ahead then. I’m going to stay in my comfortable home here in the USA though.
each to their own :)

I can confirm that, I’m being paid to said I’m Mexican 🌮 viva México!!
they pay me with tacos btw
You’re not doing a good job. Australia doesn’t exist, yet the “Australians” managed to be included in this meme.
They mean West New Zealand
Mexico mode is only available once a year on May Fifth. It then disappears until next the next year.
All of central america, the caribbean, greenland, japan, hawaii, and new zealand were all unaccounted for. Probably will be included in the dlc
Probably called the settlers and shogun expansion.
It might belong there depending on what they mean by easy. Its pretty vague
It really depends on your race and starting stats
How many countries would be easier than USA?
Any country with actual welfare, a decent living wage minimum salary, normal Healthcare prices, a gun ban and a non-corrupt police system or at least less prone to corruption.
That still makes USA easy mode compared to most countries.
Yeah, they’re still behind most other “first world” countries in every metric stated.

Mexico is just the US with a yellow camera filter.

USA is Easy mode. It’s just that Western Europe, Australia, Japan, and Canada are Very Easy mode.
Or the former Bloc states
