90%+ of the rest of the world is a low bar?

For a western country, especially one with such pretentions of being a superior one, the "home of the brave/land of the free", constantly preaching as hollier than thou, and so on?
LOL, next question?

Uh huh. Good luck with that in real life. Nothing in this thread or in my responses ever made such a claim. You’re the one being ‘holier than thou’ and trying to make ridiculous claims.

Which is neither here, nor there. I didn't say you made such a claim, or that somebody in this thread did.
Just pointed that it's a be low bar to being content to be better than "90% of countries" when that means being at the bottom of all your western peers.
And that it's especially ironic given than Americans do make superioty claims, quite often, from lowly folks, intellectuals, and artists, to official statements by POTUS.
It IS a low bar, and it IS especially ironic given the expressions of superiority - regardless of whether you or others in this thread share them or not.
Seems like you're pretty far off the subect of the subthread? Have you read what we're discussing in this subthread? It's not SBF specifically.
Even so, if you want to see how it still ties to SBF, see the glee with which people elsewhere on this post comment about "life in prison" and throwing away the key for what is basically financial fraud.
>And if you think the US prison system is bad, wait until you see…. Well everyone else’s except a handful of Western European countries prisons.
That's a pretty low bar.
