How is it better? Several people have pointed out that standards of living in the United States are well below most developed nations. There US ranks 48th in the world in life expectancy, and 66th in the world in maternal mortality, behind Egypt, Ukraine, Lebanon, Romania, and… the Gaza Strip.
I may be a cringy idiot, but I’m an ally.
I genuinely hope you stay safe and if we ever crossed paths I would shelter you from the government without hesitation.
I’m just pointing out that most likely you will still be better in the US than in most of the planet.
I do have toilet paper and live in one of the most developed regions of my country. Even then my city only has 40% of sewage coverage.
40% of centrally treated sewage. The rest goes into domestic septic tanks.
It’s not ideal, but we don’t have sewage running on open air if that’s what you imagined, and if you visited you wouldn’t notice.
The state is Santa Catarina. As I said, it’s one the most developed in the country, the living quality is similar to some European countries.
I agree that that’s terrible and USians should be furious with it.
But living a little bit in the US, even if getting deported/killed later is still a better situation than most of the planet.

“Developed Nations” is a small minority of the world.
Maternal mortality, yes, you are right, but that’s just one metric.
The US ranks below many nations not considered developed as well. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.
I cited two metrics, not one: maternal mortality and life expectancy. The US is also in the bottom 60 for income inequality.
Mm, yes. I should stay here for a bit before I get sent to prison for being trans.
You’re absolutely correct and are probably very sane with no secret agenda or propaganda guidelines whatsoever.
I will follow your advice and stay here before going to prison for being a crime.
Thank you, random man on the internet. I have no reason to believe you don’t use toilet paper.

Only 40% sewers in your city?!?
What state is that in, may I ask, so I can never go there.
40% of centrally treated sewage. The rest goes into domestic septic tanks.

My apologies, I assumed that you lived in the United States, where 40% sewer coverage for a city would not be good.
