Non‑Americans — Tell Us: What Does the U.S. Do the Worst?

We want to hear from people who live outside the United States: what do you think the U.S. does worst? Whether your critique is about policy, everyday life, culture, or something small but annoying, share your perspective and give examples so others can understand where you're coming from.

How to share

  • Start with your country (optional) to give context.
  • Be specific — name policies, practices, or cultural traits and explain why they bother you.
  • Say whether your comment is serious, humorous, or both.
  • Keep replies respectful; disagreements are fine but avoid personal attacks.

Things people often mention

  • Healthcare and insurance: high costs, complicated systems, or gaps in coverage.
  • Gun policy and public safety: laws, cultural attitudes, or the frequency of gun violence.
  • Political polarization: media-driven divisions, partisan rhetoric, or gridlock.
  • Consumer culture: overconsumption, large portion sizes, or aggressive advertising.
  • Work‑life balance: minimal vacation time, long working hours, or limited social supports.
  • Tipping and service expectations: confusion over tipping norms or pressure on customers.

If you’re not sure where to start, try answering: What surprised you most when you visited or moved to the U.S.? What would you change if you could?

Please be mindful: this is a space for sharing lived experiences and perspectives. Personal stories and thoughtful critiques are especially welcome.
