I live in a third world country and I have a crappy stressful job but unlike an american, my garbage wage can afford me an apartment to rent, pay the bills, eat well and save something or use it for entertainment. Unlike the American situation, since they can't afford to pay their mortgages, student loans, credit card debts, predatory corporations, insane house costs, disgustingly expensive medical bills and other bullshit living expenses. The American dream is dead and, crime and murder rates aside, third world countries allow people to have a less miserable life, in case you were not aware of how bad the situation was there.

I don't have any of those problems in the USA. It's all good in my neighborhood.
