Is America Really That Bad?

Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

Depending on where you are from. No. If you live in a place where gangs can roam the street challenging the police, unemployment is 15+% and corruption is rampant. The USA will be better.

Yes. If you come from a place with moderate laws, healthcare and representative government the USA could be worse to much worse.
- The thing is places aren't bad because there are gangs or homeless or what old ladies in Russia like to mention - drunk people. All of them are here(or rather wgo they are) exacly because said place is terrible.
