TIME has published a year-end top ten best and worst places in the world to live. Sadly, there isn’t a single place in the U.S.A. on that list.
The worst place to live on this list is, unsurprisingly, the disaster-prone (both man-made and natural-made) country of Haiti. Neither Yemen nor Iraq fare much better than Haiti. The rest of the top ten worst list is filled out with African nations—again, unsurprisingly.
But it’s the best-places list that disappoints the red, white, and blue. Not one of author Regina Wang’s “best places” are in the good ol’ U. S. of A.
The “Best Quality of Living” list is:
Vienna, Austria
Zurich, Switzerland
Auckland, New Zealand
Munich, Germany
Vancouver, Canada
Dusseldorf, Germany
Frankfurt, Germany
Geneva, Switzerland
Copenhagen, Denmark
Bern, Switzerland
What is the deal? Why does this list diss the United States? In fact, the USA doesn’t even appear in the top 25 best places.
