    • Better food? Food quality in the U.S. is horrendous.
    • Smarter people? How have you determined that?
    • God help you if you get sick in the U.S. You could easily be bankrupted depending on your circumstances.
    • let’s not get started on their gun policies and the mass shootings seemingly ever other week.
    • There are differences in per capita GDP but the reasons for that are more complex than mere superiority.
    • I won’t deny Australia tends to import a lot of culture from US/Britain etc, but sometimes they import us as well i.e. Olivia Newton John is one example. How about Sia? I could rattle off many other examples. Australia punches above it’s weight for it’s population size.
    • Better weather? Both US and Australia are massive continents with varying climates. It’s not really possible to compare both so simply.

    Australia has it’s problems but I would rather be here than in the U.S. where life can be very precarious.
