Again it varies wildly by states; but yes by most measurements the US has some of the best infrastructure in the world https://www.statista.com/statistics/264753/ranking-of-countries-according-to-the-general-quality-of-infrastructure/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/264753/ranking-of-countr... Broken down by state is also interesting https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastructure https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastruct... Just to put it into perspective -- Illinois gets >60% of it's energy from clean sources (nuclear, solar, wind) - compare to germany (85% fossil fuels). You can travel around the state going 70+mph and hit any major city. You can take public transit from the suburbs of Chicago down town and get around easily. You can also take trains from the southern cities to Chicago in 2-3hrs (I've done this regularly). There are multiple airports, and one of the largest hubs in the world. Some of the tallest buildings in the world, massive bridges all over the place, there's almost never blackouts (very stable energy grid), fiber is available in most places at this point, clean water is abundant, etc, etc. https://certasun.com/illinois-energy-generation/ https://certasun.com/illinois-energy-generation/ That's just Illinois. Places like Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, etc. you can get 10Gb/s fiber for $70/month; there's massive dams, again very high quality roads interconnecting most towns and cities, air conditioning is available everywhere that wants it, etc. Yes, the United States is the richest and easily one of the most advanced countries in the world by almost any measure (including infrastructure).
