@lolomicardoso3744 Except that they're not. Why are you lying to me? My friends in England, Poland, Germany, France, all have better social services than I do here. They don't have to wait in line for gas, or have no electricity, like Venezuelans. Why are you lying to me, troll?

Hey, for all the idiots supporting U.S. intervention to "save" Venezuela from "socialism": "I was so happy the day the Americans came and got rid of Saadam's oppressive regime... But then, every year, things started to get worse... Saddam killed people, but it was nothing like this current government... I feel like Iraq has been stolen from us" -from the man that helped the America overthrow Iraq's government https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9wC6W7EJpg

@Jaime D Lmao how's Trump's amazing plan to bail out the markets going this time? The economy crashed to pre-2016 levels and all of his work is gone?? LMAO

@derickz723 Wrong. Most poor Europeans have it better off than poor Americans- they don't go bankrupt because of an hospital visit. Love that conservative propaganda though, maybe the free markets will save you from coronavirus!!

@derickz723 1) Nice Ben Shapiro quote, but doesn't bode well for your argument. 2) You know nothing about statistics if you used the term "fact." So, you probably also don't know how to verify whether that source is true. In statistics, you either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is no "fact". You can also manipulate data by shifting variables (p-value, sample size, strata, association strength, etc) I hope to God (lol) that you don't also think "evolution is just a theory". Same problem, lack of understanding of terms. 3) The FEE is a libertarian think tank; their sole job is to promote a political worldview. They start with the conclusion, and work backwards to create the study that supports it. If you want impartial data, look at economic growth trends. Interpretation of economic policy efficacy will always have a political slant, but this is just the worst place to start. Try again, new source. 4) You posted the name of the website as your source. I can't click anything to verify, seems shady to me... maybe post the actual link, please?

@derickz723 Again, no links. And nope, the burden of proof is on you, not me. You're making claims? Back them up. Even despite that, I took a look. What are you talking about? The index doesn't give a single score per country, or rank them! It's a dataset with multiple variables. If you actually looked, the U.S. is mediocre. Average civic engagement (from the supposed beacon of democracy), environmental status, sense of community, education, and life satisfaction. Extremely poor work-life balance, below average life expectancy. Try again.

@derickz723 If you're too lazy, or bluffing too hard, to post a link, that's your problem, not mine. And that's what I already did. Are you slow? I described to you how the index works, and you stuck your fingers in your ears. The U.S. is not at the top of the index, what don't you understand? The website's FAQ states "Which country is #1? That's up to you! The OECD has not assigned rankings to countries. Instead, Your Better Life Index is designed to let you, the user, investigate how each of the 11 topics can contribute to well-being." Even in a user-compiled ranking, the U.S. barely made the top ten, and its rank dropped since 2016. So, why are you lying to me?
