According to these folks - it's a pretty dumb choice - peace wise ...

As far as peaceful places to live -
the US comes in at #128 - well behind Chile, Costa Rica, Equador and El Salvador.
I'm just gue$$ing but there might be $ome other motivation$ going on.....

The link wouldn't open for me, so I couldn't check out the index in any meaningful way.
But wow, the USA is ranked 128th? That's like bottom half of the world isn't it? Is that still above the "shithole" threshold? Asking for a friend.
Never expected a "USA Sucks" kinda thread from OLB. Life is full of surprises I guess.
Edit: Got the link to work. Read through things. Rough conclusion: USA sucks. Still surprised OLB started it all.
