They don't realize how much better they have it in a lot of areas compared to other countries.Americans do not realize how cheap everything is when compared to their westernized countries.

Oil imports and exports - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
U.S. crude oil imports sources including OPEC and Persian Gulf, and top five source countries of U.S. oil imports and destinations of U.S. crude oil exports.www.eia.gov
They include all petroleum products, like natural gas and refined petroleum products in the net figure.From the article..
"The United States remained a net crude oil importer in 2021"
Looks like we do well for exporting petroleum..
Is that your standard? Paying $4 for gas is “cheap” bc other countries pay more? Is 10% real inflation, good bc other countries have it worse?
No we didn’t handle it better than anyone. We just have the largest economy and sit on top of a never ending sum of natural resources that any other country on the planet would die for.
We shut down our economy, took away 1st and 4th amendment rights, fired people for no reason, ruined small businesses while uplifting big ones. Segregated groups of people. Ruined a generation of kids, caused raging inflation and more. You should be asking what did we do right. Hint: it’s nothing.What didn't we handle well and who handled it better?
