So basically your knowledge of the United States comes from its least common situations?

Remember that normal everyday life is never reported. Only unusual and non-typical things are reported.

So what you're saying is your knowledge of the United States is exactly opposite of what normal life is actually like there.

Normal everyday life can be seen in statistics like child mortality, obesity, health care coverage, percentage of prison populations, number of gun deaths, prevalence of lead paint and piping, education stats and so on and so on.

I know United States is large and varied country and for some people in some places it's wonderful, but I'm sure same can be said about China or most other countries.
