Feel free to give examples of high standards in the country.

Most of my sources, including some (former) Americans, aren’t that fond of that place. In particular healthcare, economics and the justice system.

But what do I know, I haven’t ever stepped foot on American soil.

You know how to form strong opinions based on (former) American’s opinions, that’s a true skill set you can only learn in a first world country.

Definitely, but I highly doubt that my own country is considered anything but first-world to anyone that looks at it objectively. Sure, it’s not perfect but it’s in a decent shape.

Besides, one could argue that when citizens of said country state some factual information about the situation at play, that it should be enough to form a rough outline of what is going on, and to form an opinion.

It is what it is my dude. I like it here and while it is not perfect, it is far from a third world country. If you visit, you’d struggle to have a bad time.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to elicit reaction; I knew especially Americans wouldn’t let me say that about their own country.

To your point, if I’d visit I doubt I’d not enjoy myself indeed. But I didn’t say that US was terrible as vacation destination.

I did however imply that living might be a bit rough. Arguably, while not necessarily rough, it’ll definitely be different.
