I feel like back in "the day", when you put in your address or citizenship, the United States of America was always listed at the top of the drop down, then the remaining shithole countries followed in alphabetical order.

Nowadays, I have to scroll down the list. If I'm lucky, I can hit the U and skip down to find the greatest country in the history of the world.

Am I imagining this, or is this another woke mind virus equity nonsensical problem to overcome?

Probably just laziness.

It depends on who coded the drop down. Most of the time, US is listed at the top. Sometimes it's not. This is a weird thing to start a thread about.

You sound like a snowflake. That's the mind virus at play here.

Is this really worth getting upset about?

AI doesn't know to put US at the top of a drop-down list yet.

I've noticed this as well. I have to fill out stuff like that all the time for work and only the last couple years has the US not been at the top every time. It's annoying af

People vote with their feet. America is clearly the number one nation in the world.

Both of the these options take place in your imagination, so I guess the only real answer is “yes”

You mean to tell me the globalist cucks don’t like the USA? Sounds like we’re doing a good job.

I would rate Switzerland or Liechtenstein as #1. Both are small countries. Liechtenstein is basically a small town. But they are “better” if you are lucky to be born there or have the money to do so.

There could be an argument for Norway as well.

Besides that, the only decent options are Uruguay, Australia, and New Zealand. Uruguay is too poor for most Americans. Australia and New Zealand are too leftist for most southerners.

So America is good enough for now.

Our benevolent leader will be along to mandate this as soon as he realizes it.

Of course, in doing so, he will change the name of the country to be something like “the United States of Trump”

USA literally is the leading country in number of immigrants.

If USA "aint it" then why don't these immigrants go elsewhere?

Agree with the OP. It's especially annoying when the dropdown in question is for a company that does 80-100% of its business in CONUS, like a regional hospital chain.

Most intelligent and up to date online experiences and UX patterns should be logging your IP and serving up your home country as the first option.

So, either you're using a VPN or whatever sites you're going to don't follow up to date UX practices.

FWIW: British Airways website has the United Kingdom and then the United States of America and then France at the top of its scroll down Country list.
