Stellar compared to what? Anomalies like the US? Petrostates like Norway or Saudi Arabia?

By world standards France is doing fine.

The comment was a criticism of the US as compared to France. So you can’t write off the US as an anomaly because that comparison was the whole point!

The US is a large political entity and comparing it to France isn't fair. A better comparison is to the entire EU, both in terms of population and ecomomy. Where there's France there's states like Georgia which are neither the best nor the worst.
