The best way I’ve seen it explained is the US is a third world country with a Gucci bag.
Simplistic and wrong, but sure.

I work with a lot of international colleagues that sometimes end up here for their career, something like healthcare simply blows their mind, like just can’t even comprehend what the fuck we are doing.
So why did your international colleagues leave the shangri-la of their former countries to come to a shithole like the US that doesn't even offer universal healthcare?

Some of y'all need to travel out of the country more.
That's the best way to describe the feeling I have every time I return to the USA. It's ... a shock to the system. The visible poverty and poor infrastructure are stunning, if you haven't experienced them on a regular basis in quite a long time (I'm only back once a year or so).
The USA just doesn't "feel" like a peer country to somewhere like Germany.

I saw that from a forum of people who don’t live in the US.
I’ve been to five star hotels and a couple airports in India that are as nice or nicer than any in the United States
I’ve also been to a slum in India larger than most US cities
I think the better point is that for the US’s GDP, we sure don’t know how to spend our money particularly well
I’m not envious of most countries when it comes to economic opportunity, but I am when it comes to healthcare, transportation, infrastructure, and social spending
