For everyone, by default.

Please give a pair of two EU countries, one of which is better of because it has struck a deal concerning free trade with the United States in the last two decades that was denied to the other country. I'm curious.

You are right. In US there is no good healthcare and this is the most expensive system that provides the least value for an _average_ individual.

Education, same.

This is what should be exported to the rest of the world? Who are you kidding? The only thing USA could export is guns and dirt bikes.

And in all likelihood the software that powers your smartphone (to say nothing of heavy industry, biotech, higher education... ). If you wanted to mention something that sounds "dumb" you could have at least gone with agriculture and hydrocarbons or something more accurate.

I'd say this post is deliberately offensive. More importantly for HN it is simply inaccurate.
