At the end of the day, while living in the US does have its share of issues, they absolutely do not compare to living in Africa.
Not to downplay how horrible life can be anywhere for someone who’s not healthy, wealthy, and typical:
Different by a factor of 187.
187 years in South Sudan to equate a year income in the US.*
Wiki GDP Per Capita PPP
*edited, thanks below
To equal a month's income, you mean?
Believe that’s yearly.
If the difference is a factor of 187 wouldn't you need 187 years in South Dudan to equal a year's income in the US? 187 / 12 is just over 15, but now you're comparing years to months
Doh!! Bad math! Thanks, edited.
Think I meant 15 years in South Sudan = one month in USA
it would not change the result this time, but these numbers lie a lot if you don't factor in cost of living.
No, America bad. Lemmy doot left side. Calcium
I clapped and good bones
There's a bunch of African countries I would rather live than the US, although maybe not exactly South Africa or Congo...
Such as?
Namibia, Kenya, Mauritius, Ghana, Botswana, The Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Equatorial Guinea.
A bunch of African countries rank higher than the US in the HPI https://happyplanetindex.org/hpi/?show_all=true
That website is using the nations carbon footprint as a part of their measure of happiness which I find confusing. Carbon footprint is important sure but it doesn’t relate to happiness and gives undeveloped countries an advantage.
Well go right ahead then. I'm going to stay in my comfortable home here in the USA though.
each to their own :)
