I can't make out the writing at the bottom but I suspect that meme is not comparing the US to the "world" but rather other industrialized nations.... of which we are supposed to be one.

I mean, if your goal is merely to not be "last" among countries such as Mali and Chad then congratulations. But, I would not use the term "greatest" for that achievement.
Yeah, when you cherry pick attributes and compare it to a tiny collection of western European countries and Australia it isn't 'the greatest'. People don't even know what the fuck they are talking about when they say industrialized countries though. As countries like Chile and Argentina aren't industrialized.
Edit: Or how is Russia not industrialized?? It's one of the G8 countries.
