Almost all the links you provided show USA having a higher quality of life than France in almost every way. For instance the first link of the google search (at least for me) was > https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=France https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/compare_countries_res... And then this >https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/france/ https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/france/ shows USA as having in some ways having dramatically higher quality of life metrics, and minimally lacking only in a couple of ways. I think it's sad because the problems France has could easily be fixed by liberalizing and minimizing the economics. But the french people are extremely against that and so it will practically not happen. And France is rich enough due to historical reasons that it'll probably never be compelled to do so. Of course, USA should really be compared with EU, not a state like France. Comparing individual US states to France would be more accurate. Unfortunately, such metrics aren't usually available since USA is always considered a single entity in these reports.
