Except I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about now.
Colombia's past is terrible, Peru's past is terrible. USA's past is absolutely glorious. When I moved back to Peru in 2016 some of the rich people just looked at me funny and asked me why I would live there and how the USA is the best country in the world, probably because they've been to Disney World once in their life. It's the sort of thing that irks me out.
Also just a correction to a reply to @nudge, Argentina's peso has lost a ton of value so it's not really a valid point. That doesn't change that there is plenty of better countries where you can chase the dollar. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, most of Europe, etc.
And to clear something up I love the USA as a country, but I hate the people that ape them.
