If you say so. But it’s not like France for example is doing particularly well. France had again for example 20% youth unemployment vs 8% in the US. Then US is far more open to immigration. Americans have broader rights in most respects.
There are a lot of ways to slice and dice national data depending on what you’re trying to claim. But, European states are old, homogeneous by comparison, have recently had to rebuild from war, and are on paths of decreasing global importance. They just don’t compare, except on GDP per capita.

Australia, Canada and New Zealand are your post colonial peers.
My point is these are the countries who the US claims as closest allies and peers on one hand. Then on the other we get people like you saying how well you do in humanitarian metrics compared to Brazil and India.

There are like 5 people in Australia and New Zealand and they were mostly settled after American independence so they didn’t go through a revolutionary period. The revolutionary period is the distinguishing historical factor IMO. Canada is special because it was principally French and Catholic prior to America’s revolution and was then flooded with exiled royalists/loyalists. As with Australia and New Zealand it is still part of the commonwealth.
