[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What country was so magical that it prompted you to post? Truly curious. [/quote]

Japan.  South Korea.  Thailand. Singapore.

Zero tipping. Cheap healthcare. Zero gun deaths on the news in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. Amazing quality food in all of them.  Public infrastructure that’s about 80 years more advanced than the U.S. in SK, Singapore, and Japan. [/quote]

Those countries have high trust societies. We don’t have that in the US. We used to, but we don’t anymore.[/quote]

Even in a country like Thailand that is ‘less safe’ than a country like Japan you feel incredibly safe compared to say walking around NYC/DC/Baltimore/Chicago vs Bangkok. While there were murders on the news in  Thailand, nearly 100% of them were crimes of passion and lovers quarrels vs in the U.S. kids getting shot in school, people getting shot for winter coats, or getting shot just going to grocery store.  Even though Bangkok can be gritty, it’s really not even remotely close to being unsafe as a city right up the road like Baltimore or even DC. [/quote]
