If you’re wealthy it’s the best place to live. If you’re not it sucks. Source, someone who’s travelled a bit, including the States, and has a reasonable amount to compare it to.
My parents are American and I spent almost half of my life in the USA. Like you I have also traveled around the world. Possibly my view is skewed because I’m currently traveling around the Gulf states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) on vacation and they are super poor, but to claim that the US is better than almost anywhere in Europe is crazy to me. Japan and South Korea and New Zealand also seemed nicer. Heck, you only have to cross the border to Canada to get to a place more more rational. Every place has problems, and not every place is great for every person, but the US is far down on the list of places that I would want to live ever again.
It is #1.
I say this having traveled around the world to experience everything from extreme poverty to extreme wealth.
By most measures, the US is still the best place to live for a vast majority of everyone.
It’s not even in the top ten

Even the fucking Cato institute puts the US at like 19th for freedom.

They really did a good job of brainwashing you, and many others.
It’s far from the best or even one of the best, objectively. It’s not even close to the top.

if ‘everyone’ means white men from wealthy families. The pollution and iffy food regulations alone make it pretty shit for the actual average person.

It is only good for high income individuals and the owners. Everybody else is eating shit.
What are you basing this claims on?
