U.S. needs to be more liveable!

An important index that measures “liveability”, which includes how well people are doing (and not just average income) puts the U.S. in 16th place, out of 132 countries.

Amazing! With our high average income, the well-being of U.S. people should be higher. We underperform because our economic and military strengths don’t create well-being for the average citizen.

This index, called the Social Progress Index, shows the U.S. excels in higher education, but we rank poorly in health (70th), in ecosystem sustainability (69th), and in basic education (39th). We don’t even rank well in access to water and sanitation (34th) and or personal safety (31st).

The U.S. must do better in using our high income to provide a good life for everyone in a sustainable environment!
