- mullingitover 2y agoThe US does a great job at hyping itself, but let's be realistic: it's 20th in human development index[1]. "Sure," you might say, "regular people don't do as well here, but you can get ahead here if you work hard! That's the American Dream™." Nope, it's also 27th in social mobility[2].
