Is USA the best country to live in?

[Scheme]

One thing I'm massively envious of is the amount of live music around the US. You don't know how lucky you have it until you don't! It's hard for smaller acts to tour Australia especially when the population centers are all so far away and the major cities have maybe 2 million each. A good metal concert is hard to come by though I'm stoked to be going to Amon Amarth soon.

You guys have the best death metal band right at your doorstep in New Zealand: Ulcerate.

 

[HIMBOB]

Because its not. There are resources for every citizen.

Couldn't disagree more but ok.

 

[mrln242]

Not if you are poor, but if you are rich as fuck, still no!

We're still waiting for the NZ'ers to officially join us. Our Constitution lists New Zealand as a state, it's open for them to come at any time.

We already have 15% of their entire population living here already!

Sherbrother, you just touched on the one thing that kills me about living in Hawaii. We get pretty much none of it. And if it does come here, it sure as fuck ain't coming to my island. I'm just glad I spent a decade in Philly hanging out at the rock clubs multiple times a week. That's a great fucking town for live music. And if worst comes to worst, you drive to NY, Baltimore, or D.C..

Last metal show (well, maybe more Crust Punk) for me was this band in L.A.. Here's a slowly building track that gives me a Lightning-era Metallica vibe for the first few minutes.

I should have guessed these guys were from Sweden. This is a great recommendation.

Australia has a huge landmass with about 24 million people. California has like 40+ million people and shit loads of huge cities. Just anther reason to visit this shit state of mine.

Australia has 18X the landmass of California. That is interesting.

lmao, Aussiland is like the same size of USA but there must be nothing there. Anyway, I love Australian people as they have always been kind, well mannered and down to fucking party. Best people in the world to hang out with.

ACA, medicare, medicaid....

You can walk into any emergency room in the country and receive treatment.

I mean, there HAS to be uninhabited land. Your country is the size of the entire lower 48 and has the population of about half of California.

And California has endless desert and useless land. Your population has to be concentrated in cities and on the coasts with a major wasteland in the middle. lmao

This is more accurate

 

[Bloodworth]

Best food, sports, drugs, music, women , movies, medicine, technology.

And the streets are paved with gold

The best by far

 

[PrinceOfPain]

No, but i think it has one of the best balances of quality of life, protection of personal liberty, and sustainability.

How do you figure?

 

[Bloodworth]

Lol, wtf is that ?

An American Tail!

There are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese!

Very concentrated.

About 9 million living in 2 biggest cities. But those cities are massive.

My house is 62km drive from my mums, same city.

Lol. I always forget their ridiculous debt
But the combination of their military power, natural resources and constitution makes for a very resilient nation.
Over the course of, say, 100 years, I would bet on them sustaining a higher average quality of life and respect for individual liberty than most.

You sound really crazy.
