How are we more important than everyone else?
In literally every way. Why would we not be?
Could you list some of the things that we're the best at that makes us more important than the rest of the world?
Literally everything
Name one thing that we're not?!
We don't have the largest military. Both China and India have more servicemembers than we do.
We're definitely not the healthiest. We're in the top 10 of having the most obese citizens.
We certainly don't have the highest maternal care among developed countries. I think we're actually the worst ranked country when it comes to that.
We're nowhere near the most educated. I think we come in 20th.
We're not the richest. We come in around number 8.
We're not the happiest. We come in around number 15 on that.
We don't have the highest rate of home ownership. We come in number 18 there. This was the most depressing one I've looked up yet.
FFS, Romania, Pakistan, Poland, and the Sudan have more homeowners than we do.
I'm wondering if you live in some other reality than I am.
