> You are comparing the USA, a developed country, purely to developing countries. I mean, ya, the USA does better than much poorer countries, but can’t compare to any other developed ones.

Almost every country in the world is much poorer than the USA. Most European countries have a smaller per-capita GDP than Mississippi, the poorest US state.

Ya, that just makes the USA’s high homicide rate even more embarrassing.

So you agree that social problems are independent of GDP and have no explanation for why you think America should be embarrassed? Seems like just baseless anti-Americanism.
