There's a lot to like about the United States. First of all being that American innovation and innovators lead to a number of global contributions in the past 200 years especially and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It's also a large country which a great variety of diversity in terms of environments and people from coast to coast and generally quite a friendly immigrant country which allows for a large mix of cultures. There's also a lot of good food, especially down South, mm. Oh and Amazon US and Netflix are so much better than the Canadian versions, it doesn't even compare, but I'm starting to get off topic.

So Americans have quite a lot of things to be proud of but America also suffers from a lot of issues. One of the most obvious being is that it's a nation of extremes, something which is pretty clear politically but can also be seen demographically. Another issue is the exceptionalism mentally, ironically which is increasingly a problem in Canada, which fuels ignorance towards other nations. I don't believe that the average American lives really any differently than the average Brit or average Canadian.

So yeah like any other country it's got it's ups and downs. I personally wouldn't want to live in the US but I'd visit anytime.
