> This question assumes Europe is already better than America. That is still debatable, and need to be defined well. Better in what?

60 percent of Americans can't afford a basic quality of life [1] [2]. 770k are homeless [3]. 14 million children suffer from food insecurity [4]. ~4 million children suffer from homelessness [5]. 62% of bankruptcies are from medical debt [6]. ~48k people die every year due to lack of health insurance.

Europe is better for the human, objectively. If you're wealthy, desire to be wealthy, or want to cosplay being wealthy, certainly, the US is better.
