You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?

That’s cute…no…the us is nowhere near “golly I sure would t want to be born there.” Anyone who would even think that who is an American probably spends way too much time online and has never left the US
You should travel more if you think the US is some universal paradise. It has good areas and bad areas like any country
I’ve been to communities in West Virginia that have no running water. Or large swaths of Mississippi that have little to jo infrastructure, and even fewer economic opportunities
The US is a big place with incredible disparity
Ok but here’s the thing…in the US you are free to buy a Greyhound bus ticket and go to any major metropolis if you choose and seek gainful employment
If you stay away from drugs, don’t have kids out of wedlock, and don’t make stupid choices …you WILL not fail in America. Even if you do fail you can live quite comfortably with a mediocre job.
Meanwhile…in Honduras…
Pre-2025, I’d partially agree with you.
Right now? Probably not. The country is undergoing autocratization, I would not consider the current regime a democracy, its a hybrid regime at best.
Maybe in 4 years, the institution will uphold and the rule of law will recover, but if you asked me today to choose a country to reincarnate to, the USA would not be anywhere near #1.
Of couse its still better than North Korea or Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan, but I wouldn’t willing choose the US if I had the rest of the world to choose from. (EU looks like a decent option right now)
I’ve seen a lot of the world. Like, a lot. The US is definitely on my “I don’t want to be born there” list. And im happy I wasn’t. But I would understand most Americans think differently, seeing how self centered they are. But it’s a failed state. Insane poverty, wealth inequality, corruption, incarceration numbers, broken judiciary system, crime rates, etc. It’s run by a criminal pedophile and everyone knew that when they voted for him. After he ruined a previous term already. Like, Idiocracy at its best. People who actually believe the US is a good country are either ignorant, super rich or blind AF. But yes, there are countries that are worse.
Why don’t you go for a walk in almost any developing country and calm down.
I am calm down. See, when I go for a walk, I know I’m safe. Proper walking infrastructure, safe roads so no risk being hit by cars (yes we have cars, not mega trucks). No one has a gun, so that’s nice. I can safely walk the streets any time of the day, everywhere I go. If something were to happen to me, there’s proper healthcare covered by insurance and a free ambulance ride with a max 10min waiting time, everywhere in the country. We have affordable medicine. There’s a working democracy where I live and even though it could be better, a working social system. They are working to decrease the amount of cars in my city and increase greenery so the air is clean. And next to that, our drinking water is the highest rated drinking water out there, even better than bottled water. So are our roads, highest rated in the world. There’s public transportation everywhere (still could be cheaper imo) so I sold my car because it became obsolete. I have an e-bike because cycling infrastructure is also everywhere. But don’t worry, we still complain about stuff. Like, houses are expensive. While in the US they give children backpacks with bullet proof vests, we force companies to change all ports to USB C. We fight for phones to get replaceable batteries back, in the US they struggle to deal with a company who mass murders tens of thousands each year by making them all addicted to opiods, which still continues to this day.
I’ve seen developing countries in a better state than the US. Don’t forget, the most in the US are born into poverty and have little to no chance to get out of it. The only chance they have is getting killed, end up in jail, die by overdose or make a minimum wage while living in their car until they get sick.
And remember, I’ve seen many countries on nearly all continents. Many are worse, but also many are better. Much better.
