It's also incredibly complex so perhaps it was a silly thing for me to comment on as I don't think it's that easy to define or measure.
- redorb 7y agoupward mobility doesn't scale well. USA is doing epic for the scale on the upward mobility. If you were born here or get to become a citizen you've won a lottery compared to the bottom 50% of the world. To claim much worse and to be a US citizen is to say you've 'earned winning the lottery' .. Not to build up the US or put down any other country just the way it is imo
- thundergolfer 7y agoThey do measure it though, and the best measurements show that the USA does not compare favourably to other developed nations at all. I think the line commentators tend to use is “the American Dream is alive and well, in Denmark”
