India is a developing nation and USA is a developed country. Some of these differences are bound to be there. Moreover India's population is huge. People will find ways to survive which does not always mean right ways. We are a chaotic country. Our cultural diversity is our biggest advantage and disadvantage. But we have come along in recent times. Still a very long way to go. 

This does not mean everything is good with Developed nations. They have their own problems and issues. Medical Insurance is the biggest scam in USA. They do not have mass transportation because of lobbying from car manufacturers. Medical system in Canada and UK has its own flaws where its difficult to get a specialist's appointment. 

It depends on our priorities, situation on where to live or what to do in a specific situation. 

Sure, I always said no country is perfect and US is not an exception but US is way better in many ways (as we all know).

Yeah, due to lobbying by car manufacturers, people in US adopted the culture of driving and flying. Mass transportation exists in limited areas like downtowns and surroundings, airports, cities, etc. Lack of mass transportation is not an issue for most people. It may be better this way as it will make people to be ambitious and successful for a stronger nation. There are always exceptions even in this culture where homelessness and crime manifests. I don't know of any country that has great mass transportation and people having great earnings and savings.

Chance vaste US ni mock chese wannabe know-it-all comedians batch kosam na previous comment was targeted. Evado edo mock chestadu US ni and people blindly think whatever the guy stated is wisdom and gospel.

copy/pasted from the web - taking UK with a great public transportation for comparison:

How do salaries compare with the UK? According to the Office for National Statistics, the average UK salary is £26,266, while the latest data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the average annual wage in the United States is $53,490 per year (about £38,941).

Working conditions in both countries can vary depending on the industry and employer. Generally, the UK offers more vacation time and a balanced work-life balance, while the US has a more competitive job market and longer working hours.

The USA is the winner in terms of having lower overall costs compared to the UK. The UK has some of the highest childcare costs of any country. In general, living costs are higher in the UK than in the US. Pay (wages) in the UK are less than the ones being paid in the US. For example: Software Engineers get paid more in the US than in the UK. On average, physicians in the U.S. earned the most ($316,000) per year, followed by Germany ($183,000) and the U.K. ($138,000). Physicians in Mexico earned the least at $12,000. 2. In terms of net worth, U.S. physicians are significantly ahead of their counterparts in other countries. They also get to keep more of it since living costs are cheaper.

In the UK, many services are subsidized or provided for free, which means that citizens pay higher taxes to support these programs. This can result in lower take-home pay for workers (yeah, someone was hinting universal healthcare a couple of days ago on this db and this is how it impacts taxpayers). Another factor that contributes to lower salaries in the UK is the country's productivity levels.
