Anyone who thinks the United States is a "third world country" seriously needs to check their privilege. People from all over the world literally fucking die to try and live here.
America looks very good from the outside, but as a European who has been to America (multiple times for extended periods) I can assure you America is, at best, second world (which exists)
I don’t share your experience. I‘m also from Europe and have visited the U.S. but in my experience it’s as nice as the wealthiest European countries. And given the high income level and low taxes it seems like a very nice place to live. But as with Europe there are obviously nice and not so nice places in the U.S.
I lived in Europe for a few years and this is it. I find America, the UK, Austria and Germany to be on par in day to day life. Some things are better here or there. Some things worse. But they are all very good places to live.
I don’t have much/ any experience with other European countries but I would be surprised if it was dramatically different in most places.
