The US is not poor, but there are poor country incentives. No automatic free healthcare, no free high-quality education for children. Large number of elderly people must work without pensions. You have to work harder and have less free time to get the same income safety compared to Europeans.
European countries rank very high (USA only 14th)

How many employees does it take to run chess.com vs lichess.org ? who work harder? who is more efficient? That kind of business is bad for him, yet is great of value, perhaps there is a disconnect somewhere?
