It absolutely does imply a high standard of living, to suggest it doesn't is incredibly ignorant. The biggest issue in the US is inequality between states. 10 US states have a higher human development index than every country in the world short of Norway. Even with the US's homeless population, it's still far less than that of the UK, Australia, France.
There are a lot of things wrong with the US, but to say that the country doesn't have a standard of living to be proud of comes from an incredibly privileged place.
- 51lver 8y agoHow can you possibly say we have a high standard of living when it has been in freefall since WW2? No one can WORK HONESTLY and afford a family and retirement anymore. You have to play dirty corporate ladder climbing games or go far into debt to get the essentials for the next generation now. But, we're techies and those are poor people problems, amirite my good man? We're an embarrassment of a "world leader".
