I live 15 miles from the Portuguese border. On a clear day I can see it.
They even have a few lights on.
You need to do some travelling.....

I never said the USA was devoid of poverty. Nor did I say the entire country was poor. I posted a few examples of life in the sticks, as we say. I've seen photos of beautiful areas. The annual Portuguese Festival draws well over 150,000 people, many from Portugal. As a teenager I went a few times. I've been down the South End and seen the vineyards in backyards for making wine, seen the gold statues and decorations on what many consider beautiful houses. I've been to friends' houses and smelled and saw dead pigs hanging in the cellar, blood dripping to make blood sausage (cacoila) and carcasses ready to be butchered. You'll never forget that smell.
I can't travel due to health reasons. I'd visit other countries including Israel if I could.
Bom dia
