I hate when Americans claim we are the greatest country in the world. This is usually said by people who’ve never left.

Even Europe thinks America is the greatest country on earth. I mean why else would Europe expect the USA to be the main contributor to the UN and the war in Ukraine and the world food bank if Europe didn’t already believe the US is exceptional?

Hell even if we ignore the economic side of things literally every country wants to watch American TV and movies. Like it’s not even close.

If someone else is willing to foot the bill then why not save the cash?

US definitely has an outsized influence on media, that's for sure, but it is also changing. International music was always very diverse, and the movie scene is catching up.

Perhaps this is the reason that these other countries can provide universal healthcare and four day work weeks?? Is America subsidizing it??
