...'your thout what every other country did to us, whom started a war with us'??... rly... u been lied to.... thers littrally no1 that has declared a war on USA... but the opposite is in abundance... USA has declared wars on: Greate Britan, France, New England, The Brittish colonies, Indian colonies, The cheerokee indians, Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli, The Grece, Mexico, Union vs Confederation war, the Russian federation, Germany, Japan, North korea, Cummunist china, Cuba, Panama, Iraq, Yogoslavia, Afganistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Uganda, Syria, Houthi rebels, Supreme Political Council in Yemen, and allies, Isis, IS ..and who has declared a war on USA again?....
Yes, this is how we perceived it in Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia) in the 90s, when American series and films began to be broadcast in our country after the fall of the Iron Curtain. But after all the terrible things I've experienced with my health, I'm glad I live here...14 years ago, I became seriously ill. I got swine flu virus A(H1N1), multi-organ failure, 3 months in a coma in the ICU, another months of follow-up treatment. And permanent consequences with kidney failure, for 13 years I had to go on expensive dialysis 3 times a week, I had difficult joint operations, I have titanium hip joints, the entire femur, joint, ankle and difficult stays in the hospital and months in rehabilitation institutions, monthly I take thousands of Euro worth of medication, and a year ago, after only six months of waiting, when I was included in the transplant program, I received a kidney from a dead donor. And what cost to me? Zero. Only mandatory health insurance in tens of Euros (Dollar has the same value here) per month.. Yes, our health care is not in the best condition, but that is not the fault of the system setup, it is good, but the fault of the politicians who stole from the health care through planted companies billions. We also have paid maternity (and paternity) leave of up to 3 years!, medicines prescribed by a specialist doctor are free, once a year a preventive check-up at the dentist is free, of course birth and postpartum care of the newborn (mandatory) is free, vaccinations, etc., etc. My mother was treated for cancer, unfortunately she lost the battle, but she didn't pay anything, insulin and such medicines are of course free, or with only a small additional payment... There is also a mandatory and paid employee leave of 4-6 weeks, etc., etc. When I hear that the Americans have to pay for everything, I feel sorry for them... They should put pressure on the government so that at least some of these ends, which are completely obvious to us, are fulfilled. We are a young democracy, we used to be a socialist block behind the "Iron Curtain", we have big problems with corruption in politics, but such "conveniences" have been a matter of course for over 100 years. Greetings from Slovakia, formerly Czechoslovakia in Central Europe
That was a few generations ago....most young people now know it's just one big shitehole of a country that's meddling in other countries' affairs all over the world.
While my wife and I were on holidays in Bali, we over heard an American couple complaining “why are there so many asians here ? Go home already”. We were stunned that they didn’t know that Asians live in Asia.
I had a similar experience with americans in France. A man telling his wife (I assume she was his wife) that he was okay to visit the Puy du Fou but he did not want to any "foreigners" while doing it.... Like, man, sorry to break it to you but YOU are the foreigner, not the French people living here 🙄 if you do not want to see French people, do not come to France... same with any other countries. They go oit of the USA and seem to believe it is just a USA's colony/conquered territory. 😐
I suspect most people in the world are sick of hearing how the US won WW2 like they were the only participants... Of course they forget that the rest of the world was at war over 2 years before the US joined in... and even then, it was only because the Japanese provoked them at Pearl Harbour. It would be interesting to see what would have happened if the Japanese hadn't attacked.
I don't know why, but i find it somewhat cute when i see Americans watch that episode and realizing what everyone else outside America have known for decades.
Cute!!! Hahaha know that You say it. Nice One. Love your Name idiocracy btw. The Medical system allways gets Me. You are Sick go to the Doctor ( WHO ? ) Stay at Home until You are good again, tata. 8 Times a year if you have to! for several Days not 8 days in Total.

Well it's not just the country. I work in a company that is in the Wallmart-field in another Nordic country. They offer me even better medical care than the state does. I haven't used public system in over 20 years. I don't have an insurance, but haven't had to payed single Euro for good and fast service. Also my company payed me $800 as Christmas bonus..which is a lot for a person who works as a grocery store worker. They also provide me respectable worker discounts for their multiple branches
Americans are happy to pay their taxes for a military which provides collective security for everyone, and they don't see it as socialism. Yet they see a healthcare system funded out of taxation to provide collective health benefits for everyone as socialism. This confuses me.
Also, Americans pay more in healthcare taxes than Scandinavians.. People really need to get that into their heads. Not only is it more expensive, worse in terms of quality but also one of the least efficient systems in the world.
Yeah. That's why is USA at every war conflict in the world, even when they shouldn't. I don't know why my country voted to be in NATO, when most conflicts are made by USA.
The USA is not a democracy either, The USA is a plutocracy. To explain, in a plutocracy the rich determine what happens in their country, they influence with their money the politics in their country, determine what is done and what is not only for their benefit.
Well, it's actually a democracy but a very flawed one, very close to a hibrid regime. It's much worse than in the EU, for example, where you have the most stable democracies in the World due to the Copenhagen Agreememt policies.
@@diogorodrigues747 There's some old US video from the fifties which clearly stated ”the USA is NOT a democracy but a republic” which is a BIG difference. A democracy should do what MOST people want which is clearly not true in the USA. The republic is designed to work solely for the rich/influential big corporations.
10:27 "Does Walmart care?!" I'm sorry, but that was absolutely adorable. As a former employee, I can assert with confidence that they absolutely don't.
When you said "you could name every country that went to war with us" I was flored. Because the list is sooooo short. When Kuba was struggling for independence from spain, the US interfered so much that spain finally had enough and declared war. After the japanese attack at pearl harbour, germany and italy declared war in WW2. Finished. All the other wars where started by the US.

How you phrased it, "We're taught every country that went to war with us." That's some deep programming! Other than Japan bombing Pearl Harbor no country ever *went* to war with the USA, which I am sure you know, yet the idea has been put into your head with spin. Love from Canada.
Well, Nazi-Germany did declare War on USA so that can also be considered an attack. But apart from those two I think every other war US have been in they have either been the attacker or intervened to defend someone else (thus USA was not attacked).
Exactly that I was thinking and wondering, what country ever declared war on the US. It was always the other way around, with the one exception Japan of course.
"went to war with" doesn't have to mean "declared war on", since refusing to just lie down and surrender is another way to go to war. Not excusing military aggression or anything, but it takes two to tango.
@@matteloht Germany declared war in support of their Japanese allies on December 8, 1941. (There was actually a bit of anxiety in Washington that Hitler might not do so, since the neutrality movement that sprang up after the revelations about the corruption around the US involvement in WW1 ["the Merchants of Death"] had hamstrung any thought of entering the European war without an attack.)
I live in Belgium. There was a time I actually used to brag about seeing a doctor only once or twice every two or three years. That was until about a few years ago I was diagnosed with a very rare bone marrow disease. Suddenly I'm seeing a doctor almost twenty times a year. Luckily my country has an excellent healthcare system that allows me to continue to live in relative peace and safety as a single dad raising four children. Believe me. We will all grow old and at one point we we'll all grow sick.
Its both funny and sad that you mention that prison life in the US is better for some people outside of it. From a (Western) European perspective the US prison system is cruel, torturous and has some slave labour. A good perspective on this can be the video "How Norway's Prisons Are Different From America's | NowThis" which shows the Norwegian prison system, radically different from the US variant. The video "Why The US Prison System Is The Worst In The Developed World" compared the Norwegian and Finnish prison system with the US one.
Yes it always made me smile at Norways since of humour in there prison system . You do your time at the weekends so you can carry on at work supporting your family and still paying tax to the goverment your prison time is the weekend Friday 1800 until Monday 0600 so you don't have free time over the weekend so no nights out on the town no drinking no fancy meals at restaurants no hopping on a plain to fly to another country for the weekend nope none of that not only is it smart you keep your job home and family and just so you don't feel like your getting away with it scot free you have that nagging feeling the goverment has still got one over you and that is your still paying tax and if your a high payed worker you pay for your stay in prison on the weekend
Also there is a huge "hidden" factor that is in plain view for the rest of the world. American prisons are for profit. And there are alot of private prison systems that get payed by the inmate. This gives an incentive for private prisons to cut costs. Costs on basic living neeeds where family members need to fill an account with money so the inmate can buy basic need (commissary account). They can also cut costs on guards and rely on CCTV only with 1 guard in a crows nest that needs to call for backup if shit hits the fan en response times are low. Inmates need to fend for themselve and their own safety. Inmates with no gang affiliations come out of prison with gang affiliations for protection. Inmates going for short streteches of months end up with sentences of years for added time for just defending themselves. All this because its an incentive for private prisons to create living standarts that will most likeley result in added prison time so inmates stay inside longer so they can make more profit per inmate. And als said before. Profit of their forced labour for pennies on the dollar.
@@smilingshadow6639Scandinavia does more or less. Germany to a slightly lesser degree. France don’t. Neither has Great Britain. Scandinavia are in the leading role here - and at the same time has the lowest crime rates in Europe.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Netherlands, belgium and luxembourg have similar systems as Germany, and in the Netherlands a lot of people want to reform prisons to that of the scandinavian models as those are more effective than our own, but this has not been seen as a age pririty to do now as we do not hsve enough prisoners to keep prisons open anymore. A famous prison complex ' the noordsingel' in rotterdam is now a housing omplex, a former prison in Leeuwarden is now a hotel and so are more prisons converted to more useful facilities.
Well the "luxury" prisons in Norway is not for every convict. Just the worst offenders with longest sentences, and just for the final years. This is to "normalise" the person before letting them loose in society.
It was actually pretty smart because it was used sarcastically. From an American pov those countries are poor. And using exactly that helps you show the atrocities of the US

I think it was "poorer". That's not arguable. The kind of capital floating around empty heads in the US is much greater than in said countries. The problem is who has all that money and how it is used. Mostly it is used to bomb mostly civilians in countries that the US kinda wants some resources from.
Canadian healthcare: I got hit by a car at 21 and broke my leg badly. I was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, had surgery to put a pin in it, got a brainscan because my head whacked the windshield good, had a week and a half in the hospital, had a cast, then later a "boot" and a cane, and a few months of physiotherapy. Cost to me: $0. My mother had severe diabetic complications in the last several years of her life. She couldn't drive and had Mr Magoo style glasses, was pretty much legally blind, was on dialysis, had nerve pain, had a foot amputated and needed a wheelchair and we had to add a ramp to the back deck, she needed a care worker to come out during the day, had several cardiac episodes leading to ambulance rides to and lengthy stays in the hospital. This did hit us financially, but if we were in America I have no doubt we'd have lost our house. I was diagnosed borderline diabetic myself at around 30, went to the hospital, got an IV, a bunch of blood tests, a blood monitor with a bunch of needles and strips, was briefly prescribed two daily pills, was enrolled in a week long educational class for diabetics, and for several years - until diet and exercise got it under control - went to a blood clinic every 6 months followed by an appointment with my GP to go over the results. Cost to me: about $20 - 30 for the blood monitor with needles and strips and another $15 - 20 for the two bottles of pills they prescribed. During one of my follow ups with my GP he saw a red blotch on my back that he didn't like. He referred me to a specialist who scheduled an operation to slice it off, after which he gave me an ointment to apply to the area daily for a few weeks. Cost to me: $0. America sounds like a nightmare. Like most I grew up on a lot of American TV and movies and such, but as I got older I could very clearly see that the reality didn't match the entertainment at all. Forget moving there, I'm hesitant to visit these days. It seems to be a third world country.
I am from the UK and you will always be referred to as America. As an outsider, I am amazed at the blatant lies told by Politicians and even more surprised that Americans believe the lies constantly.
the worst part is that the "parasitical middleman industries" are influencing even the european goverments through founding of pseudo scientific organisations and that our polititions are partially stupid enough to spread that BS in TV and on social media 🤦♂
@@kustanhardelus6919 The UK Conservatives try to model themselves on the USA Republican Party. They were elected to take us out of the European Union which should be concluded soon. The British people have a reputation of not believing what any Politician says and our Constitution can force a General Election when there is cause to do so. The maximum period left before a new General Election is two years and it feels like this Government will not last that long. I think that the comparison I am trying to make is that we are sceptical about Politicians so when they are canvassing for our votes, they produce a mandate of Policies which we hold them to, and that is where their accountability to the Country lies.
The problem is, what happens when you don't believe the lies? There are people like that in the US, as they are in the UK. But whom do you give your vote? Great choices, right?
@@gerhardadler3418 at least you don't go about voting one person but a party, yes that can end up in nonsense like what has happened lately where the Tories had to figure out who should be PM and that wannabe Thatcher for the Braindead made it in for a very short time, but just imagine how something like this would have gone down in the US...
America is a continent, not a country. United States is the country. The people in this country are mostly mindless. If they have money they know very little and are incurious. The young are distracted utterly by their games and selfies. Drugs are everywhere, the police give out tickets constantly and civil forfeiture of assets continues to be rife. The public is distracted so completely by cult of personality issues and Trump fever or fear, they are scientifically ignorant to a staggering degree. Also, our media is entirely dedicated to manufacturing consent among the idiot electorate and drumming up political bribes and donations. The citizens are unworthy of good leadership of any kind and would not foster it. The political ecosystem is pretty much devoid of decency for 40 years. The people have the delusion that Democrats and Republicans are different... and no concept that it is a cartel system. No changes will come from the people, other than gimmie gimmies and more stupid wasteful programs. I have no idea how good governance will emerge from this tangled mess. What will it take??? I honestly only see the emergence of the General AI and these things become worthy, cus us apes won't .
I'm from the UK, for over 20 years I've been extremely ill due to a botched Gaul Bladder operation that went wrong (I've got extra bits in me,that caused the mess). So I've lost my business and had to move in with my mother. But the NHS has saved my life 5 times most recently a huge open Hart operation. I had a 5 month stay also 10 weeks with my Hart. I've had multiple procedures, scans and other stays. I had 6 weeks of being fed through a tube, the food cost £1,000 a bag/day. Its all been FREE I truly adore the NHS. THEY ALSO SAVED MY BROTHER in 1981 at 11 months old he got 48% full burns, he has 2 kids and is getting married, he's had 17 years of horrific operations including his scalp being expanded for a year, but thanks to the NHS his 3 years in hospital etc, has been FREE.
@@gabbymcclymont3563 sorry to break it to you but it's not "FREE" our Nat insurance pays for it🤦♂️ The NHS used to be amazing, unfortunately, it's now a money pit that wastes BILLIONS year after year and cares far to much about diversity quotas than actually trimming the fat and making it much more efficient🤷♂️
I'm glad I don't live in the states, I'll probably be bankrupt or dead by now. I had an bacterial infection causing extreme pain and paralysis at one side of my face.I was hospitalized for several weeks. I couldn't work for 3 months, but I still got my full wage paid by the employer and except my normal insurance costs, I didn't have to pay a cent extra.
In every sane country - going to work sick is grounds for you to get fired. Like what the **** are you thinking, you could get your coworkers sick as well...
I recommend this video : Why Walmart Failed In Germany - Cheddar Examines , And if you want to see something about prisons, you should see videos about prisons in Finland or Norway
I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷 Do we have problems? Yeah, several. But we also have: Free healthcare, mandatory 30 day paid vacation, mandatory 4 month maternity leave for women, extra salary on December, mandatory lunch money as a perk, unemployment insurance (the government give you an amount of money on a monthly basis for 6 months if you get fired)…. As far as I know, USA don’t have even maternity leave (!!!!) That’s just not right
I'm in Canada but we have family in the United States. Healthcare premiums in the US exceed my total yearly income taxes which include the funding of universal health care for all members of my family. The degree to which Americans are being screwed over by private health care is so extreme, if they only understood how bad it was there would be a revolution demanding change.
I had an elderly friend who went on a fishing holiday in BC. He had a heart attack, he said it was because of the size of the salmon, I think he saw Bigfoot, after being sorted in hospital, he asked about the bill and his insurance etc. He was told, don't be silly, this is Canada, go back to your fishing. (Respect from UK).
I came across an old recording of Nixon stating that there would not be any form of socialist program in "his America". Mind you this was before the Watergate scandal. And at that time of the cold war, America was deathly afraid of Russia. At the time referred to as United Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR for short. Hence the "socialism is communism" belief. Nixon also introduced Medicaid.
You've heard so many negative things about the U.S. in the videos that you might need some variety. You wanted to know if Walmart has changed anything? The answer is no! Please take a look at this video - it shows how Walmart failed in a single country on this earth and made billions in losses. It shows how Germany showed this company what workers' rights and fair competition mean. Why Walmart failed in Germany Greetings from Germany,Kelsea
I can't tell you how proud it makes me as a descendant of German immigrants to see how things worked out for Walmart in Germany. Hopefully some day the American people will elevate their thinking in a similar way.
@@dmwalker24 I see MacDonalds every corner i turn here in Germany and they are still considered exploitive,that means the mighty Walmart couldn’t even clear that low bar of paying the minimum wage ?.
@@Yewchoobarkontz It's not only that, the people themselves, the customers hated it. Even if Walmart would have had abide to german laws for some reason, they would have failed due to all the germans hating the us shopping habbits (fake smiles, following and talking to customers, smalltalk in general and people packing up your groceries for you - when we go grocery shopping here in Germany we don't do it for fun, we want it to be over as quickly as possible).
@@regularwarya McDonalds made the same move as BurgerKing (and some germany grocery chain stores like Edeka): Franchise. That means that they are actually run by german or at least european companies as franchise. And that means they are better to at least pretending to abide the law, cause they know the laws and all kinds of back doors (and there are enough of them). And of course how to attract german custormers.
Hi there, Russia calling. Last year I found a strange tumor in my breast and went to ultrasound to check it. After several visits to my local doctor in the state hospital I belong to I was sent to the oncologic hospital to have a biopsy of the tumor. I was diagnosed with breast cancer so I was assigned to have several chemotherapy courses and surgery. Right after I learnt my diagnosis I left for sick leave and my employer paid me a quite good compensation. I was on sick leave for six months and I wasn`t fired. And I didn`t pay a rouble for consultations at any medical establishment I visited, not a single copeck for chemotherapy, mastectomy I had and for my stay in the oncologic hospital. Everything was covered by our NHS. All I paid for is public transport and suburban trains tickets when I was being tested in my native town and in the capital of my region. And I have nothing but only good memories about my chemotherapist, my surgeons and nurses who took care of me during that time. Now I`m being paid a disability pension from the state and I`m being taken care of by a special social service while I`m on my rehab. That`s it. I don`t even want to imagine if I could survive all this in the US.
And that's actually in Russia, which is one of the worst countries in Europe when it comes to many things, including healthcare. The US system is really bad...
Thanks a lot for your reaction. It's refreshing to watch someone who can criticize her own country--not everyone is able to do that. Already subscribed and I'll watch more of what you have on your channel. Greetings from Canada & have a nice day.
21:20 That part as someone who doesn't live in the US is one of the ones that boggled my mind the most for quite some time, the devotion to a piece of cloth and the militarism around it, last time someone had this attitude towards their flag, I believe we called them Nazis, but this one is "different" somehow...
My partner is diabetic and her insulin, blood test kit, needles etc are all free under the NHS (National Health Service) here in England. I picked up a prescription for myself the other day and it cost me £9 ($10.88). Your healthcare system is crazy.
In Australia I pay AU$6.50 (US$4.39) for my insulin, which lasts me about 6 months. Needles and blood test kit are free. So glad I dont live in th USA.
@@A_nony_mous my brother medication is like for three bottles are literally $12,733.93 but thank God he has Medica insurance which means they pay it for him.
@@ianz9916 if you live in Scotland it’s free even before age 60 - I moved up here from England a few years ago and was so shocked I didn’t have to pay for my medication anymore, even though I was working full time
i think the base of the problem is the US campaign financing system and the voting system. The first is practically legalized bribery and the second one forces you to always choose the lesser of two evils .
The funny thing is that it is the same money that supports both sides. They don't care if it's red or blue as long as they do what they're paid to do. I think it only works for them because their education system keeps the masses ignorant and their news sources are all controlled by the same money that pays the politicians.
That's only partly true, cause there are other political parties in the US as well, but they don't actually matter, since those morons over there are so used to only have one choice, that they don't even consider those others and sure, most us-americans do not know that there are others as well.
America sadly is a giant game of Monopoly where the greediest player as well as casting the dice also gets to change the rules a little in their favor each turn, and now it is nearing the end of the game
Canadian that had a surprise heart condition. Ambulanced to the Hospital, in for Quadruple bypass surgery. 10 days later I'm recovering at home. Not a bill for any of it.. not $1 and I was paid 66% of my salary for 4 months from government unemployment insurance until I was able to return to work and didn't have to worry about losing my job because it's illegal to fire someone for a medical reason. It boggles my mind the added stress that is put upon US citizens. It was bad enough having to deal with the medical crisis alone but if I had to worry about the medical bills, how I was going to pay my rent and survive while I was off work and whether I would still have a job.. OMG I don't know if I would be alive today.
And you don't have your politicians desperately trying to dismantle and plunder the state to be more like the USA, or to retry the fascist experiments from the last century, like us next door in Sweden - and don't even get me started in the UK, which I left to move to Sweden because it was becoming so greedy and uncaring, and which now is looking more and more like a failed state. I spent more than a year living in the USA as well - a year that I both loved and hated. It bankrupted me (yes, due to health issues, but also due to the US banks main business model being theft), and I was living in an incredibly weird mix of decent hardworking people or fantastically creative people and straight up psychopaths, all stewing in a combination of interest and opinion on everything despite being ignorant about mostly everything, with hardly any actual rights or freedom beyond soundbites. That was 2 decades ago - now I see something that looks more like a slow-moving civil war. The USA has huge potential, utterly betrayed by those who quote the enlightenment idealism of the (slave-owning) founding fathers every day, whilst managing in reality what looks more like a mediaeval peasant culture than anything else - corporate slavery/serfdom :(
You say, you are taught the countries that went to war with the US, but it’s mostly the other way around. To learn about that topic I highly suggest „Volker Pispers history of USA and terrorism“ parts 1-5, he is german satirist and gives a fact checked dark humored analysis on how the US acts abroad. He speaks German, but there are English subtitles. I would love to see your reaction and thoughts on that.
@@HailHeidi If you do, I suggest to play the TH-cam videos on a slower speed, it would be less stressful for you keep up with the subtitles. Best wishes from Germany
Sorry but you are totally misquoting me I suggested a video of a bit done by satirist, who happens to be a German citizen. I don’t know if you have watched this bit, I assume not, a) because he doesn’t speak well about German politics at all, not in this nor in all his other programs, and b) he talks about the flaws of US foreign politics, the installment of Pinochet, the military support of pre Komeini Iran, as block against USSR, the support of Saddam Hussein to fight against then Komeini Iran. The support of Afghanistan freedom fighters that ultimately gave birth Al Quaida Could you please quote my part where I portrayed Germany is a beacon of light, because it isn’t, this country has a lot of improvement to do, as any other country, there is no such thing as perfect country. You don’t know me, you are implying that I am a proud German citizen, well I am not, I don’t care how the soccer team does at World Cup, I don’t wave a German flag, I don’t sing the anthem. I just happen to be german because my parents lived here, fucked and mum gave birth to me here. I am sorry if that is against your will, I had no say in this as well. If you hate this country that I live in and you are praying for its downfall, go on.
@@hkloss11 how are you able to say „people like me“, you don’t know me a bit, you keep assuming I am a fascist who is in favor of Nazi Germany, or Russia, or China You keep assuming I totally agree with every political decision the country I live in, who’s citizens I am by „accident“ not choice,. You don’t know which party I vote for or if I vote at all. You don’t know my values when it comes to politics, morality, ethics or society. As far as I am concerned the only attacks on us soil by an other government was during WW2, which is more than enough. You can love the US as much as you want and you doesn’t have to like Germany at all, it is non of my business The US and their actions are worth to be criticized, as any other country’s actions as well and I include Germany in this as well Nazi Germany and the post WW2 Germany, so could you please stop portraying my recommendation as some „Germany Uber alles“ propaganda I don’t know you either and I don’t assume I do.
@@hkloss11 1. The US was not the reason why Nazis lost during WWII, we can mostly thank the USSR for that, with help from UK, France and the rest of europe. 2. Countless wars has been started by the US. Do i have to remind you about Vitenam or Afghanistan? 3. You state that european citizens don't trust Germany ("Germans have never had a good press all over Europe"), this is not true. As a european myself neither me or anyone i know are scared of or believe that Germany would do anything like what happened during WWII again.
I suspect the biggest problem is that a very large percentage of the population live in a US, bubble. They hardly know other countries exist let alone what life is like for those in those countries. The ignorance is what stops them realising how badly they are treated and demanding things improve.
Just like the system intends. If you don't know what you're missing, how could you demand it? That's why the education is what it is: We're the best, everyone else sucks, don't even look at them, be grateful for the amazing life you have here in the best country on earth. You will take your insanely high costs of living and you will be happy for it, peasant. It's propaganda like any other. And it's scarily effective, to the point that people defend their objectively awful conditions, because they're the most free, the best and the richest.
The Walmart story blew my mind, I live in New Zealand. I get 15 days paid sick leave, can be increased at managers discretion. On top of that I can use my four weeks annual leave after that if needed. Even after that you have the option of unpaid sick leave. At no point would a company just fire their employees. And if staff were having ongoing health issues the companies here would sit down with the individual to work out a plan to assist in recovery for example decreasing daily work hours or changing there role.
i liked the expression on your face at the end of the video where the flag ripped of the Wall. (you looked uncomfortable). As a German, let me tell you: Its just a Flag. No Country has to define its People. The People have to define their Country. We Germans learned this the Hard way...
I'm danish and my parents are danish, but i was born in the US because my parents went to grad school there. My parents loved to live there when they were young and without responsibilities, but as soon as i was born they went back to Denmark.
America calls itself the land of the free.... However you are not free to cross a road when you like (Jay walking) You are not free to walk over land, like farms or fields ..... We don't have Jay walking in Europe, we are also free to walk the land 😉
I have never heard about all this before, I had no idea it was this bad on all these aspects. The only thing I heard was about the expensive healthcare insurances, yet I didn’t know the reason why, I just thought it was a different system and never informed myself further. It’s mind blowing. By the way, I’d like to thank you for your videos! Thanks to you I am learning so many new things about the US. I love learning new stuff about different countries and cultures. :)
So is Europe including Middle East and surrounding the root of real poverty. Real Rich Will Never Colonize Other. Including faking world map since Mercator projection 1569. Real Indonesia, land and ocean, is huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world. Even much older than Egypt, Indonesia was not, is not, and will never be an islamic country. Dutch VOC was richer than any today existing world's richest companies combined (do your own research). As I always state: There's no better love than self-love ;) Thus not a complete multiracial not multilingual never been living around the world all alone since childhood are just the same never evolved dumb apes stuck inside your tiny boxes your entire life and not learning from the past to evolve better. Jakarta is 1st winner of World's STA 2021 Sustainable Transport Awards 2021 Best MRT, LRT, and BRT, Longest Bus Own Lane In The World. And now Southeast Asia's First Bullet Trains, First in Southern Hemisphere, faster than Shinkansen Japan. "Unity in Diversity" is our Indonesian motto. Living harmoniously in peace with hundreds of languages and cultures. Indonesia was not, is not and will never be Islamic country. World map is inaccurate since Mercator projection 1569. In reality Indonesia is huge as Russia including our ocean and even much richer. Even much bigger before West and Middle East came took our former Australia, Singapore, Malaysia+Brunei, South Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam even Madagascar Africa. Actually countries in Europe are just regencies and provinces in Indonesia. Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line. Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt. And Judaism/Christianity/Islam are just the same dumb. Even most of people know nothing about much older ancient modern civilization here in Indonesia before mega eruption of Toba supervolcano of Sumatra 75,000 years ago. Including 25,000 years old Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia. Hindu isn't from India either. Original Hindu is Indonesia not in India. Hindu in India and in Bali are totally different Indus, Indo, Hindia, Hindu = Indus Islands = Indo Nesos = Indonesia. The same with Astrology came from Indonesia not by the Greeks, Egyptians nor Aramaic/Arabs/Jews. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just frauds branches of modified Hinduism in India. Real Hindu came from Indonesia not India. Hindu, Hindia, Indus, Indo, etc = Indo Nesos, Indus islands, Indonesia over 17000 islands, exactly on the center of the equator line, the center of all civilization, all Indo around the world came from here especially because of eruption of Toba supervolcano Sumatra 75000 years ago bigger than Yellowstone USA, resulted today world's largest volcanic lake Toba Sumatra. Yet, world map is wrong since Mercator projection 1569, real Indonesia is Huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world. Coffee is native in Indonesia not brought by the Dutch. Too many lies they wrote about Indonesia even at formal school books! The fact is whole Europe has been built with Indonesia's wealth for centuries by mentally and intellectually they hasn't changed a bit. But inner the same mediaeval.
I knew some of the healthcare things, but WOW!! 15 years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I spent over 6 months in hospital. I've had countless MRIs and CAT scans. Years of rehab. Several bouts of brain surgery. A titanium plate 1/3 the size of my skull implanted. I take 14 different pills every day because or brain damage related issues. Being Scottish, I pay nothing for my medication. I need to see GPs all of the time. If I lived in the US, me and my entire family would be destitute!!!! I would no doubt still be without the plate in my head, if i was even still alive!
This is so weird because if you meet an American they are so heartwarming. They will invite you in and share everything. But if their neighbor is having a hard time they dont lift a finger. It is a very weird mixture of being nice but yet refusing to help others.
I've lived in the same house for 9 years. Granted, I'm back in the woods. But I've met and spoke to a few of my neighbors ... like two times. No one even knows your name. I know one has about 9 yapping dogs that annoy me. And one has two brats that yell and bray. And that's the extent of my knowledge of my lovely neighbors.
I live in South Australia and was diagnosed with MS in '99, I have had at least 1 MRI every year and have not paid one single $. Nor do I pay for or support private health. Those that do pay for private will get some sort of rebate back from the government which that money is paid from the public medicare fund. Our services are decreasing more every year because of this and it is very obvious that we are heading towards an american health system. Our two party government unfortunately is at the same party, the greed party.
It's hard to feel sorry for Americans when they are up in your face telling you how great they are and how not great you are and how evil you are because your country provides basic services to its citizens. Then you remember that Americans are being gaslit constantly and continually by their own government, by the corporations, by the media, and even in their churches. Americans are in an abusive relationship with America. And I do feel sorry for them.
Mexico has received a huge migration of Americans in recent years, historically we have been one of the most hospitable countries in the world even when the immigrants are not kind or educated (good manners, restrained)... A good close friend of mine is a recently retired university teacher from Pennsylvania who said "my people just don't see themselves as economically oppressed, impoverished and plundered workers, but as future millionaires"
That was not an authentic Heidi-Video. No yawning = no good luck. ;) Nice to see you picked up this recommendation. There are many videos on this topic but to answer your question in the video: You and your family indeed should consider to move. Either to Canada or to Europe, I am quite sure you'd live a much happier life.
10:38 its not walmart's problem,if you have 1 more sick day,there will still be people who get sick for one day more. The one who needs to change is the medical system.
Fun fact I learned a while back. If you're an US citizen, no matter where you live and how long you live there, you're required to file a tax report to the IRS every year
Yeah, been doing that since I became an expat. Though while I live a happy life, by American standards I make little enough that I occasionally get a refund.
It's really nice to see more and more american reactions about comparisons between the economic giant that the U.S. is and the rest of the world. The last 2 videos showed some important topics revolving around social and workers rights, but I can also suggest a great series of nicely subbed videos on recent american history. I'd assume the topic is not really taught in depth, if at all, since it's a delicate one for the U.S., but i'd recommend checking out: "Volker Pispers History of the USA and terrorism". A nice example of german political cabaret, putting the finger where it hurts. So far enjoying the open minded approach to learning about the world, keep it going :)
I never understood why raising campaign money is necessary to win elections in the US. Alone the amount of lobbyists big companies employ for this is ridiculous.
In the USA, the main task of politicians seems to be fundraising. In many other countries, the election campaigns are regulated by taxpayers' money. There is then only a short campaign period and not a regularly recurring cycle of election campaigns instead of making political decisions FOR the population.
Since 1977 in Québec Canada, lobbyists and any company aren't allowed to finance a political party. Just individual are allowed to send money up to 1000$, that's it.
People who make donations to political parties and then say they aren't doing it to try and influence policy. It's a bit like if someone sees you in a bar and offers to buy you a drink, they're not doing because they think you look thirsty.
Yeah, pretty powerful video, isn’t it? The more you learn - you say, and it’s true; you are learning more and more and that sets you apart from the rest. Can you stay and live in the US? Yes, if you have money. That still does not solve the problem the country has but, you probably will be better off elsewhere. Anyway, I’m glad to see one more Americans getting educated and informed. Keep it up! Kind regards from Sweden
@ 15:55 "what does she means other places did to us"?? Are Us Americans aware they are the most violent and murderous country in the world? Like are they aware of all the war crimes, destructions and coup d'etats they've done to other countries? WTF is going on, "did to us"?! Half the world is still waiting for apologies!!🤯

When you treat people like animals, whether before or in prison, as is the case in the U.S., you don't have to be surprised if they act like animals when they get out of prison.
Law on lobbying. This is the USA's BIGGEST mistake Anyone with a lot of money can legally buy an MP/Senator to vote against a law requiring them to give more rights to their workers. By the same token, this lobbying law allows anyone with a lot of money to commission a law and buy the right people to pass it… In effect, your law on lobbying is the legalization of corruption, but only at the highest level!
When I was a little younger I used to see this Gofundme thing on Facebook from time to time, I still do sometimes or something similar. At that time I had no idea what the American health care system was like and just thought "Well, go to the doctor, why the money?,, because here in Germany it is mandatory to have health insurance and it is almost always covered 100%. I really feel sorry for the people who live there with a serious illness or just get sick, which is actually normal worldwide.
I'm from Norway and everybody here have the right by law for a place to live, if you are homeless it's by choice and not because you're forced to live outside. Not seen many homeless people tough in Norway.
8:51 "No parent needs 10k in debt" Its interesting and telling for the American mindset, that the cost isn't expected to be paid directly resulting in the use of the term "debt" rather than expenses. The US is a debt-spiral.
Why do Americans put up with this? As someone from the UK it baffles me. Tell your political leaders that Americans need universal health care than making another millionaire.
I think the states are doomed and trapped in this cycle of pain. The lobbies are too strong, and the two-party system successfully keeps everything that could make a change happen away. The only way is a complete restart and for that, the system has to collapse completely.
When she said "Did Walmart care??" my heart hurt a little bit because the problem isn't Walmart. Large Corporations will always exploit people as they are deeply rooted in self destructive capitalism. The real problem is the government. Like having limited sick days at all is illegal in a whole bunch of countries. Ofc you don't always get payed unlimited sick days but like you can't get fired for something you can't control.
No. Whilst I don't want to excuse any government in the slightest, there is nothing stopping large corporations, like Walmart, from acting ethically. It certainly isn't in the workforce's interest to excuse them. Like this poor lady found out the hard way.
I would suggest as your channel grows that you take a little time and spend 3 months in Portugal or Spain (I'm in the south of Spain and can get by on under $1000 per month all included) or even Mexico. If you are still at college, do a year in Slovenia (many English classes and nearly free for foreigners). PS. you can keep producing TH-cam content from all of those countries (Slovenia and Bulgaria have better wifi than the US) and get a first-hand experience of what so many people have said in your videos. #GoWhereYourTreatedBest
It's absolutely not complicated. It's the most straight-forward thing in the world, that no one in this country ever wants to talk about. What we do with Healthcare, and Pharma isn't dumb if you happen to be an executive for, or own stock in those companies. It makes them disgustingly wealthy, and it only requires the sacrifice of a few tens of thousands of lives a year to maintain. It also requires BOTH parties in government happily do the bidding of those corporations, but it turns out that's not too difficult to get them to do. Just a little petty bribery, and their priorities become everyone's priorities. Oh, the thing you are talking about with the political parties would be the two party duopoly. The parties control the election process to such an extent that you will likely never get the chance to vote 3rd party, or if you do they'll lose, or even if they win you have a couple decent people in a legislative branch of 535 criminals. It's pointless.
And that is just some of the reasons why i would never move to America. I was thinking about moving to America ( California ), but then i started to do a ton of research, and the more i learned, the more horrified i got..if i decided to move there, just based on the "American illusion", then i would have made a huge mistake. I have heard people that did that, and now they feel trapped there. They want to get out, but for different reasons ( family etc ) it is just not possiple for them. The "American dream " is just that...only a dream..or to be more correct : The American Lie...most Americans are still living in some kind of Matrix that have been pulled over their eyes from the moment they are born...very sad and quite disturbing 🙄
A big problem is that when people hear "average", they think "median". Average is an OK metric to use if there is low inequality, but when inequality is high it becomes extremely deceiving. Example: Imagine a workplace with 5 workers and an income range of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 100 dollars per hour. This means that 4/5 workers at that place has slave wages and lives in absolute poverty. Yet the average hourly wage shows up as 22 dollars per hour, which is a decent salary. The median income however would reveal only 3 dollars per hour, which obviously would be much closer to the reality these workers live in. So this average representation of America makes it look deceptively on par with other industrialized countries, but the reality is that the bottom 30% in America has it much much worse than the bottom 30% in any other industrialized country. Because the ultra rich 1% pulls up the average figure just enough to hide the dark reality tens of millions of Americans live in.
When our son was born in California our Swedish Health Care covered the 3 days in the hospital plus we had 1 years of of parent leave pay so we could be at home with our child, and we were not in Sweden!! nuff said. We also received “ Barn bedrag” Child support money every month until he was 18. It’s automatic and our taxes are at work and visible and actually working therefore we are very happy with our Swedish Tax System
1119 for an MRI scan is pretty absurd. I got one when I was a teenager, after someone at a party persistently claimed that I had slammed my head against a bathroom sink. I didn't have any recollection of it, but I went to the hospital in Oslo, Norway anyway. The scan cost me about $50, and I thought that was a lot 😅 They didn't see any indications of blunt trauma, and I'm pretty sure the other guy was either really drunk, or just being an ahole 🤔
During covid. One of the major college here in Norway warned students abroad, telling they should return home, especially if they were studying in countries with poorly developed helath care , and poprly developed collective infrastructure, for example the USA.🙈😂 they did not specify any other countries.
My mom has cancer, and I'm from Denmark. If my mom died for the reason that we couldn't afford healthcare, and that no one could help us I would have done something wild to lash out. I'm honest in saying that stress like that can give you frustration that urge you to lash out. Luckily I don't have to think about that, because my mom is beating cancer because of the exceptional proffessionals that are helping her. Without our healthcare system I would have had to say goodbye to my mom before my nephew was born and I thank the universe every day that I was born here.
Very good video sis. I wish you found another title because I can't share it with American friends, I don't want em to feel like I talking shit on USA.. which I am not. I m just learning cultural stuffs and practicing my English
Watching you is like watching a young child learning things about life. Nothing wrong with that but you are one in 330 million. There are others I've watched go through this over the years. I just hope you spread the word that the USA is not all as they say it is. Don't get me wrong somethings in the states are great but a lot isn't. My country isn't good at somethings but we know it. I wish you well on your journey. If you get the chance travel to other countries it is only then you can look at where your from with clear vision!
I don't agree with the title of the video. No, America doesn't suck at everything. But somehow the title "Why America sucks at many things but is great at others" doesn't really roll off the tongue nor does it have the same ring to it.
@@kaydod3190 can you be specific please and name something USA is great at? It's not workers rights (compared to other nations) - it's not access to healthcare - it's not great policing ( they seem to want to escalate and arrest rather de-escalation) it's definitely not reducing gun crime and mass shootings - and although the USA holds about 4% of the worlds population it houses 20% of the prison population - I can't think of a single reason to want to visit and definitely wouldn't move there
Just for medical stuffs, I had shoulder surgery in 2019 and my ortho doc wouldn't let me get back to work until my physio therapy was finished. 1. for surgery and 3 days of hospital stay I paid 30€. 2. I had 12 weeks of "sick" leave after the surgery with 6 weeks of 100% pay and 6 weeks of 80% pay. I was so glad I could go back to work after that.
Think of the way most people live: They force themselves to wake up early in the morning, dress up, drive straight to some workplace, spend 8 hours or so doing work they hate, drive back home, surf the Internet or watch TV, and then go to sleep, only to repeat the same routine the next day for almost their entire lives. In our culture, we consider this kind of living as normal and even healthy, but if you stop and think about it, it’s not healthy at all. Life can be immensely beautiful, yet instead of making the most out of it, we choose to waste it, and that’s because we’ve been programmed to believe that this is the only way to live. Habits, tradition and dogmatic beliefs have turned us into mindless automatons who follow a predetermined path that was forced upon us by society. This programming, however, can be broken, if we realize that it’s in our hands to transform the way we’re living, and gather enough courage in our hearts to think and act differently. Then, life can be turned into a celebration filled with joy, creativity, love and play.
Friend of mine is a nurse at a catholic bishop owned hospital. They had a meeting about expenses and where to make cut backs due to patients not paying their bills. The higher ups noticed that the hospital spends alot on staffing, and are just considering letting go of like 25% total all departments combined. Another idea was to deny services to certain people, like drug "users" (not just addicts).
hello HaiHeidi, I've only recently discovered you and I have to say that I like your honest, open, shocked manner. 😉 would have a few suggestions I call it critical cabaret. The videos are in German but have English subtitles.

**sniff** I wish I wasn't so sensitive to the cold, or I'd have moved over quite a while ago already... Even the colder winters here in northern Germany can be a bit too much for me already (possibly some combination of sensory processing sensibility + relatively weak immune system + cardio-vascular issues, i.e. poor circulation)
When I was a child, I dreamed of living in America when I grew up. I was born and raised under socialism in a small country called Hungary. Now I am almost 50 years old and I am happy to stay here. We have problems here too, but they seem so small compared to the problems in America... It is so sad.
Normal worker US citizens should feel obligated to leave that hostile country for their own sake. If you stay, you're literally begging to be exploited all your life (which at least will be comparably short).
I'm french, but I grew up in the US for a while so I have a few American friends I'm still in contact with. The last few years when we had the big strikes and manifestations all over France, some of them messaged me asking stuff like "are you safe", etc.. When I told them I was perfectly fine and was actually participating in the protest efforts, they said stuff along the line of "but don't you love your country ?".. I was completely dumbfounded.. Of course I love my country, I love my people. That's WHY we're protesting, because the assholes in charge are constantly trying to sell our nation to the highest bider. We shout and criticize and protest our government BECAUSE we love our country, and we want it to be better for everyone.
10:48 in Australia we also have a set amount of sick days, but we wouldn’t be fired for going a day over; that would just be leave without pay, or if your employer is nice about it, it will use up your holiday pay
Hate to break it to you Heidi, when an American says USA is the greatest country in the world the rest of the world just rolls their eyes.
To be fair; every country instills that kind of sentiment in its populace, I believa it is called patriotism.
yeah, but when someone says thats about america you only think "bloody ignorant idiot. "
@@Paltse True, but the US is blindingly patriot while other countries (except North Korea) still see what their country really is.

Yes, this is how we perceived it in Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia) in the 90s, when American series and films began to be broadcast in our country after the fall of the Iron Curtain. But after all the terrible things I've experienced with my health, I'm glad I live here...14 years ago, I became seriously ill. I got swine flu virus A(H1N1), multi-organ failure, 3 months in a coma in the ICU, another months of follow-up treatment. And permanent consequences with kidney failure, for 13 years I had to go on expensive dialysis 3 times a week, I had difficult joint operations, I have titanium hip joints, the entire femur, joint, ankle and difficult stays in the hospital and months in rehabilitation institutions, monthly I take thousands of Euro worth of medication, and a year ago, after only six months of waiting, when I was included in the transplant program,
I received a kidney from a dead donor. And what cost to me? Zero. Only mandatory health insurance in tens of Euros (Dollar has the same value here) per month.. Yes, our health care is not in the best condition, but that is not the fault of the system setup, it is good, but the fault of the politicians who stole from the health care through planted companies billions. We also have paid maternity (and paternity) leave of up to 3 years!, medicines prescribed by a specialist doctor are free, once a year a preventive check-up at the dentist is free, of course birth and postpartum care of the newborn (mandatory) is free, vaccinations, etc., etc. My mother was treated for cancer, unfortunately she lost the battle, but she didn't pay anything, insulin and such medicines are of course free, or with only a small additional payment... There is also a mandatory and paid employee leave of 4-6 weeks, etc., etc. When I hear that the Americans have to pay for everything, I feel sorry for them... They should put pressure on the government so that at least some of these ends, which are completely obvious to us, are fulfilled. We are a young democracy, we used to be a socialist block behind the "Iron Curtain", we have big problems with corruption in politics, but such "conveniences" have been a matter of course for over 100 years.

While my wife and I were on holidays in Bali, we over heard an American couple complaining “why are there so many asians here ? Go home already”. We were stunned that they didn’t know that Asians live in Asia.
The ordacity of them being in ANOTHER country talking about others should go home. let alone the country citizens🙄🤦🏽♀️ 😂
some think the world is the Epcot Center. they prob thought the locals were students dressing up as Asians. :D

I had a similar experience with americans in France. A man telling his wife (I assume she was his wife) that he was okay to visit the Puy du Fou but he did not want to any "foreigners" while doing it.... Like, man, sorry to break it to you but YOU are the foreigner, not the French people living here 🙄 if you do not want to see French people, do not come to France... same with any other countries.
They go oit of the USA and seem to believe it is just a USA's colony/conquered territory. 😐
I suspect most people in the world are sick of hearing how the US won WW2 like they were the only participants... Of course they forget that the rest of the world was at war over 2 years before the US joined in... and even then, it was only because the Japanese provoked them at Pearl Harbour. It would be interesting to see what would have happened if the Japanese hadn't attacked.
I don't know why, but i find it somewhat cute when i see Americans watch that episode and realizing what everyone else outside America have known for decades.

Americans are happy to pay their taxes for a military which provides collective security for everyone, and they don't see it as socialism. Yet they see a healthcare system funded out of taxation to provide collective health benefits for everyone as socialism. This confuses me.
@@KurtFrederiksen Think about what you're saying.
Also, Americans pay more in healthcare taxes than Scandinavians.. People really need to get that into their heads. Not only is it more expensive, worse in terms of quality but also one of the least efficient systems in the world.

Yeah. That's why is USA at every war conflict in the world, even when they shouldn't. I don't know why my country voted to be in NATO, when most conflicts are made by USA.
There are plenty of exceptions. For example, I'm an American, and I think both examples are the same with respect to socialism.
The USA is not a democracy either, The USA is a plutocracy. To explain, in a plutocracy the rich determine what happens in their country, they influence with their money the politics in their country, determine what is done and what is not only for their benefit.
Well, it's actually a democracy but a very flawed one, very close to a hibrid regime. It's much worse than in the EU, for example, where you have the most stable democracies in the World due to the Copenhagen Agreememt policies.
that is a good description.. i would also add neofeudalism
But democracy is socialist or not? :v
Law on lobbying. This is the USA's BIGGEST mistake
@@diogorodrigues747 There's some old US video from the fifties which clearly stated ”the USA is NOT a democracy but a republic” which is a BIG difference.

When you said "you could name every country that went to war with us" I was flored. Because the list is sooooo short. When Kuba was struggling for independence from spain, the US interfered so much that spain finally had enough and declared war.

How you phrased it, "We're taught every country that went to war with us." That's some deep programming! Other than Japan bombing Pearl Harbor no country ever *went* to war with the USA, which I am sure you know, yet the idea has been put into your head with spin. Love from Canada.
Well, Nazi-Germany did declare War on USA so that can also be considered an attack. But apart from those two I think every other war US have been in they have either been the attacker or intervened to defend someone else (thus USA was not attacked).
Exactly that I was thinking and wondering, what country ever declared war on the US. It was always the other way around, with the one exception Japan of course.
"went to war with" doesn't have to mean "declared war on", since refusing to just lie down and surrender is another way to go to war. Not excusing military aggression or anything, but it takes two to tango.
Even Japan never ever want a war against US, the massive US-sanctions against Japan forced Japan to attack US...
@@matteloht Germany declared war in support of their Japanese allies on December 8, 1941.
(There was actually a bit of anxiety in Washington that Hitler might not do so, since the neutrality movement that sprang up after the revelations about the corruption around the US involvement in WW1 ["the Merchants of Death"] had hamstrung any thought of entering the European war without an attack.)
I live in Belgium. There was a time I actually used to brag about seeing a doctor only once or twice every two or three years. That was until about a few years ago I was diagnosed with a very rare bone marrow disease. Suddenly I'm seeing a doctor almost twenty times a year. Luckily my country has an excellent healthcare system that allows me to continue to live in relative peace and safety as a single dad raising four children. Believe me. We will all grow old and at one point we we'll all grow sick.

Its both funny and sad that you mention that prison life in the US is better for some people outside of it. From a (Western) European perspective the US prison system is cruel, torturous and has some slave labour. A good perspective on this can be the video "How Norway's Prisons Are Different From America's | NowThis" which shows the Norwegian prison system, radically different from the US variant. The video "Why The US Prison System Is The Worst In The Developed World" compared the Norwegian and Finnish prison system with the US one.
Yes it always made me smile at Norways since of humour in there prison system . You do your time at the weekends so you can carry on at work supporting your family and still paying tax to the goverment your prison time is the weekend Friday 1800 until Monday 0600 so you don't have free time over the weekend so no nights out on the town no drinking no fancy meals at restaurants no hopping on a plain to fly to another country for the weekend nope none of that not only is it smart you keep your job home and family and just so you don't feel like your getting away with it scot free you have that nagging feeling the goverment has still got one over you and that is your still paying tax and if your a high payed worker you pay for your stay in prison on the weekend
Also there is a huge "hidden" factor that is in plain view for the rest of the world. American prisons are for profit. And there are alot of private prison systems that get payed by the inmate. This gives an incentive for private prisons to cut costs. Costs on basic living neeeds where family members need to fill an account with money so the inmate can buy basic need (commissary account).
They can also cut costs on guards and rely on CCTV only with 1 guard in a crows nest that needs to call for backup if shit hits the fan en response times are low. Inmates need to fend for themselve and their own safety. Inmates with no gang affiliations come out of prison with gang affiliations for protection. Inmates going for short streteches of months end up with sentences of years for added time for just defending themselves.
All this because its an incentive for private prisons to create living standarts that will most likeley result in added prison time so inmates stay inside longer so they can make more profit per inmate.
And als said before. Profit of their forced labour for pennies on the dollar.

Scandinavia are in the leading role here - and at the same time has the lowest crime rates in Europe.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Netherlands, belgium and luxembourg have similar systems as Germany, and in the Netherlands a lot of people want to reform prisons to that of the scandinavian models as those are more effective than our own, but this has not been seen as a age pririty to do now as we do not hsve enough prisoners to keep prisons open anymore. A famous prison complex ' the noordsingel' in rotterdam is now a housing omplex, a former prison in Leeuwarden is now a hotel and so are more prisons converted to more useful facilities.
Well the "luxury" prisons in Norway is not for every convict. Just the worst offenders with longest sentences, and just for the final years. This is to "normalise" the person before letting them loose in society.
Imagine rating Germany, Finland or Britain as poor countries..
It was actually pretty smart because it was used sarcastically. From an American pov those countries are poor. And using exactly that helps you show the atrocities of the US
Whats the national dept in the US again ? Something with a LOT of numbers.
I was like wtf? when I heard that. Yes, nominally perhaps, but definitely not in quality of life
So is Europe including Middle East and surrounding the root of real poverty.
Real Rich Will Never Colonize Other.
Including faking world map since Mercator projection 1569.
Real Indonesia, land and ocean, is huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world.
Even much older than Egypt, Indonesia was not, is not, and will never be an islamic country.
Dutch VOC was richer than any today existing world's richest companies combined (do your own research).

Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line.
Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt.

I think it was "poorer".
That's not arguable. The kind of capital floating around empty heads in the US is much greater than in said countries.
The problem is who has all that money and how it is used.
Mostly it is used to bomb mostly civilians in countries that the US kinda wants some resources from.
Canadian healthcare:
I got hit by a car at 21 and broke my leg badly. I was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, had surgery to put a pin in it, got a brainscan because my head whacked the windshield good, had a week and a half in the hospital, had a cast, then later a "boot" and a cane, and a few months of physiotherapy. Cost to me: $0.
My mother had severe diabetic complications in the last several years of her life. She couldn't drive and had Mr Magoo style glasses, was pretty much legally blind, was on dialysis, had nerve pain, had a foot amputated and needed a wheelchair and we had to add a ramp to the back deck, she needed a care worker to come out during the day, had several cardiac episodes leading to ambulance rides to and lengthy stays in the hospital. This did hit us financially, but if we were in America I have no doubt we'd have lost our house.
I was diagnosed borderline diabetic myself at around 30, went to the hospital, got an IV, a bunch of blood tests, a blood monitor with a bunch of needles and strips, was briefly prescribed two daily pills, was enrolled in a week long educational class for diabetics, and for several years - until diet and exercise got it under control - went to a blood clinic every 6 months followed by an appointment with my GP to go over the results. Cost to me: about $20 - 30 for the blood monitor with needles and strips and another $15 - 20 for the two bottles of pills they prescribed.
During one of my follow ups with my GP he saw a red blotch on my back that he didn't like. He referred me to a specialist who scheduled an operation to slice it off, after which he gave me an ointment to apply to the area daily for a few weeks. Cost to me: $0.
America sounds like a nightmare. Like most I grew up on a lot of American TV and movies and such, but as I got older I could very clearly see that the reality didn't match the entertainment at all. Forget moving there, I'm hesitant to visit these days. It seems to be a third world country.
I am from the UK and you will always be referred to as America. As an outsider, I am amazed at the blatant lies told by Politicians and even more surprised that Americans believe the lies constantly.
the worst part is that the "parasitical middleman industries" are influencing even the european goverments through founding of pseudo scientific organisations and that our polititions are partially stupid enough to spread that BS in TV and on social media 🤦♂
@@kustanhardelus6919 The UK Conservatives try to model themselves on the USA Republican Party. They were elected to take us out of the European Union which should be concluded soon. The British people have a reputation of not believing what any Politician says and our Constitution can force a General Election when there is cause to do so. The maximum period left before a new General Election is two years and it feels like this Government will not last that long. I think that the comparison I am trying to make is that we are sceptical about Politicians so when they are canvassing for our votes, they produce a mandate of Policies which we hold them to, and that is where their accountability to the Country lies.
The problem is, what happens when you don't believe the lies?
There are people like that in the US, as they are in the UK. But whom do you give your vote? Great choices, right?
@@gerhardadler3418 at least you don't go about voting one person but a party, yes that can end up in nonsense like what has happened lately where the Tories had to figure out who should be PM and that wannabe Thatcher for the Braindead made it in for a very short time, but just imagine how something like this would have gone down in the US...
America is a continent, not a country. United States is the country. The people in this country are mostly mindless. If they have money they know very little and are incurious. The young are distracted utterly by their games and selfies. Drugs are everywhere, the police give out tickets constantly and civil forfeiture of assets continues to be rife. The public is distracted so completely by cult of personality issues and Trump fever or fear, they are scientifically ignorant to a staggering degree. Also, our media is entirely dedicated to manufacturing consent among the idiot electorate and drumming up political bribes and donations. The citizens are unworthy of good leadership of any kind and would not foster it. The political ecosystem is pretty much devoid of decency for 40 years. The people have the delusion that Democrats and Republicans are different... and no concept that it is a cartel system.
No changes will come from the people, other than gimmie gimmies and more stupid wasteful programs. I have no idea how good governance will emerge from this tangled mess. What will it take??? I honestly only see the emergence of the General AI and these things become worthy, cus us apes won't .
In most other countries, there is no limit on how many days sick you can take. If you are sick, you don't go to work until you get better.
I'm from the UK, for over 20 years I've been extremely ill due to a botched Gaul Bladder operation that went wrong (I've got extra bits in me,that caused the mess). So I've lost my business and had to move in with my mother. But the NHS has saved my life 5 times most recently a huge open Hart operation. I had a 5 month stay also 10 weeks with my Hart. I've had multiple procedures, scans and other stays. I had 6 weeks of being fed through a tube, the food cost £1,000 a bag/day. Its all been FREE I truly adore the NHS. THEY ALSO SAVED MY BROTHER in 1981 at 11 months old he got 48% full burns, he has 2 kids and is getting married, he's had 17 years of horrific operations including his scalp being expanded for a year, but thanks to the NHS his 3 years in hospital etc, has been FREE.
@@gabbymcclymont3563 sorry to break it to you but it's not "FREE" our Nat insurance pays for it🤦♂️ The NHS used to be amazing, unfortunately, it's now a money pit that wastes BILLIONS year after year and cares far to much about diversity quotas than actually trimming the fat and making it much more efficient🤷♂️
I'm glad I don't live in the states, I'll probably be bankrupt or dead by now. I had an bacterial infection causing extreme pain and paralysis at one side of my face.I was hospitalized for several weeks. I couldn't work for 3 months, but I still got my full wage paid by the employer and except my normal insurance costs, I didn't have to pay a cent extra.
And you still get payed when you are sick. Payed vacations, free healthcare. (well i got to pay $30 to see a doctor but then the rest is free)
In every sane country - going to work sick is grounds for you to get fired. Like what the **** are you thinking, you could get your coworkers sick as well...
I recommend this video : Why Walmart Failed In Germany - Cheddar Examines , And if you want to see something about prisons, you should see videos about prisons in Finland or Norway

Gees, guys. Give her a break. Give her time to recover from this and the other one first.
Small, bite sized pieces. Not everything all at once.
Prisons in Findland and Norway depress me, and I'm European. She should not! xD
Also, for a more "poor" country see: Why Walmart Failed In Brazil? (th-cam.com/video/fFPMUIT9seg/w-d-xo.html)
I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷
Do we have problems? Yeah, several.
But we also have: Free healthcare, mandatory 30 day paid vacation, mandatory 4 month maternity leave for women, extra salary on December, mandatory lunch money as a perk, unemployment insurance (the government give you an amount of money on a monthly basis for 6 months if you get fired)….
As far as I know, USA don’t have even maternity leave (!!!!) That’s just not right
I'm in Canada but we have family in the United States. Healthcare premiums in the US exceed my total yearly income taxes which include the funding of universal health care for all members of my family. The degree to which Americans are being screwed over by private health care is so extreme, if they only understood how bad it was there would be a revolution demanding change.
I had an elderly friend who went on a fishing holiday in BC. He had a heart attack, he said it was because of the size of the salmon, I think he saw Bigfoot, after being sorted in hospital, he asked about the bill and his insurance etc. He was told, don't be silly, this is Canada, go back to your fishing.
(Respect from UK).
I came across an old recording of Nixon stating that there would not be any form of socialist program in "his America". Mind you this was before the Watergate scandal. And at that time of the cold war, America was deathly afraid of Russia. At the time referred to as United Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR for short. Hence the "socialism is communism" belief. Nixon also introduced Medicaid.
You've heard so many negative things about the U.S. in the videos that you might need some variety. You wanted to know if Walmart has changed anything? The answer is no! Please take a look at this video - it shows how Walmart failed in a single country on this earth and made billions in losses. It shows how Germany showed this company what workers' rights and fair competition mean.
Why Walmart failed in Germany
Greetings from Germany,Kelsea
I can't tell you how proud it makes me as a descendant of German immigrants to see how things worked out for Walmart in Germany. Hopefully some day the American people will elevate their thinking in a similar way.
Walmart failed in the UK too presumably for the same reasons as in Germany - they couldn't legally exploit their employees.
@@dmwalker24
I see MacDonalds every corner i turn here in Germany and they are still considered exploitive,that means the mighty Walmart couldn’t even clear that low bar of paying the minimum wage ?.
@@Yewchoobarkontz It's not only that, the people themselves, the customers hated it. Even if Walmart would have had abide to german laws for some reason, they would have failed due to all the germans hating the us shopping habbits (fake smiles, following and talking to customers, smalltalk in general and people packing up your groceries for you - when we go grocery shopping here in Germany we don't do it for fun, we want it to be over as quickly as possible).
@@regularwarya McDonalds made the same move as BurgerKing (and some germany grocery chain stores like Edeka): Franchise. That means that they are actually run by german or at least european companies as franchise. And that means they are better to at least pretending to abide the law, cause they know the laws and all kinds of back doors (and there are enough of them). And of course how to attract german custormers.
Hi there, Russia calling. Last year I found a strange tumor in my breast and went to ultrasound to check it. After several visits to my local doctor in the state hospital I belong to I was sent to the oncologic hospital to have a biopsy of the tumor. I was diagnosed with breast cancer so I was assigned to have several chemotherapy courses and surgery. Right after I learnt my diagnosis I left for sick leave and my employer paid me a quite good compensation. I was on sick leave for six months and I wasn`t fired. And I didn`t pay a rouble for consultations at any medical establishment I visited, not a single copeck for chemotherapy, mastectomy I had and for my stay in the oncologic hospital. Everything was covered by our NHS. All I paid for is public transport and suburban trains tickets when I was being tested in my native town and in the capital of my region. And I have nothing but only good memories about my chemotherapist, my surgeons and nurses who took care of me during that time. Now I`m being paid a disability pension from the state and I`m being taken care of by a special social service while I`m on my rehab. That`s it. I don`t even want to imagine if I could survive all this in the US.
Wishing you the best of health in the future.

That part as someone who doesn't live in the US is one of the ones that boggled my mind the most for quite some time, the devotion to a piece of cloth and the militarism around it, last time someone had this attitude towards their flag, I believe we called them Nazis, but this one is "different" somehow...
My partner is diabetic and her insulin, blood test kit, needles etc are all free under the NHS (National Health Service) here in England.
I picked up a prescription for myself the other day and it cost me £9 ($10.88).
Your healthcare system is crazy.
In Australia I pay AU$6.50 (US$4.39) for my insulin, which lasts me about 6 months. Needles and blood test kit are free. So glad I dont live in th USA.
@@A_nony_mous my brother medication is like for three bottles are literally $12,733.93 but thank God he has Medica insurance
which means they pay it for him.
Also in the UK, once you reach 60 your prescriptions are free.
@@ianz9916 if you live in Scotland it’s free even before age 60 - I moved up here from England a few years ago and was so shocked I didn’t have to pay for my medication anymore, even though I was working full time
i think the base of the problem is the US campaign financing system and the voting system.
The first is practically legalized bribery and the second one forces you to always choose the lesser of two evils .
The funny thing is that it is the same money that supports both sides. They don't care if it's red or blue as long as they do what they're paid to do.
I think it only works for them because their education system keeps the masses ignorant and their news sources are all controlled by the same money that pays the politicians.
And then there's also the electoral college so a minority of voters in uneducated red states can chose the president.
Here in Italy we suffer greatly from corruption and political ineptitude, but even here, lobbying is rightfully illegal.
That's only partly true, cause there are other political parties in the US as well, but they don't actually matter, since those morons over there are so used to only have one choice, that they don't even consider those others and sure, most us-americans do not know that there are others as well.
Yes .they have tomuch power.
America sadly is a giant game of Monopoly where the greediest player as well as casting the dice also gets to change the rules a little in their favor each turn, and now it is nearing the end of the game
Canadian that had a surprise heart condition. Ambulanced to the Hospital, in for Quadruple bypass surgery. 10 days later I'm recovering at home. Not a bill for any of it.. not $1 and I was paid 66% of my salary for 4 months from government unemployment insurance until I was able to return to work and didn't have to worry about losing my job because it's illegal to fire someone for a medical reason. It boggles my mind the added stress that is put upon US citizens. It was bad enough having to deal with the medical crisis alone but if I had to worry about the medical bills, how I was going to pay my rent and survive while I was off work and whether I would still have a job.. OMG I don't know if I would be alive today.
as a Norwegian I am soo happy what we have!!!! I have 5 week paid vacation and healthcare is good!!!
And you don't have your politicians desperately trying to dismantle and plunder the state to be more like the USA, or to retry the fascist experiments from the last century, like us next door in Sweden - and don't even get me started in the UK, which I left to move to Sweden because it was becoming so greedy and uncaring, and which now is looking more and more like a failed state.
I spent more than a year living in the USA as well - a year that I both loved and hated. It bankrupted me (yes, due to health issues, but also due to the US banks main business model being theft), and I was living in an incredibly weird mix of decent hardworking people or fantastically creative people and straight up psychopaths, all stewing in a combination of interest and opinion on everything despite being ignorant about mostly everything, with hardly any actual rights or freedom beyond soundbites. That was 2 decades ago - now I see something that looks more like a slow-moving civil war.
The USA has huge potential, utterly betrayed by those who quote the enlightenment idealism of the (slave-owning) founding fathers every day, whilst managing in reality what looks more like a mediaeval peasant culture than anything else - corporate slavery/serfdom :(
In most other countries there is no limit on the number of sick days, if your sick you take a sick day….it should be that simple…
You say, you are taught the countries that went to war with the US, but it’s mostly the other way around. To learn about that topic I highly suggest „Volker Pispers history of USA and terrorism“ parts 1-5, he is german satirist and gives a fact checked dark humored analysis on how the US acts abroad. He speaks German, but there are English subtitles. I would love to see your reaction and thoughts on that.
That's so true. And that would be interesting to react to, thank you!
@@HailHeidi If you do, I suggest to play the TH-cam videos on a slower speed, it would be less stressful for you keep up with the subtitles. Best wishes from Germany
Sorry but you are totally misquoting me
I suggested a video of a bit done by satirist, who happens to be a German citizen. I don’t know if you have watched this bit, I assume not, a) because he doesn’t speak well about German politics at all, not in this nor in all his other programs, and b) he talks about the flaws of US foreign politics, the installment of Pinochet, the military support of pre Komeini Iran, as block against USSR, the support of Saddam Hussein to fight against then Komeini Iran. The support of Afghanistan freedom fighters that ultimately gave birth Al Quaida
Could you please quote my part where I portrayed Germany is a beacon of light, because it isn’t, this country has a lot of improvement to do, as any other country, there is no such thing as perfect country. You don’t know me, you are implying that I am a proud German citizen, well I am not, I don’t care how the soccer team does at World Cup, I don’t wave a German flag, I don’t sing the anthem. I just happen to be german because my parents lived here, fucked and mum gave birth to me here. I am sorry if that is against your will, I had no say in this as well.
If you hate this country that I live in and you are praying for its downfall, go on.
@@hkloss11 how are you able to say „people like me“, you don’t know me a bit, you keep assuming I am a fascist who is in favor of Nazi Germany, or Russia, or China
You keep assuming I totally agree with every political decision the country I live in, who’s citizens I am by „accident“ not choice,. You don’t know which party I vote for or if I vote at all. You don’t know my values when it comes to politics, morality, ethics or society.
As far as I am concerned the only attacks on us soil by an other government was during WW2, which is more than enough.
You can love the US as much as you want and you doesn’t have to like Germany at all, it is non of my business
The US and their actions are worth to be criticized, as any other country’s actions as well and I include Germany in this as well Nazi Germany and the post WW2 Germany, so could you please stop portraying my recommendation as some „Germany Uber alles“ propaganda
I don’t know you either and I don’t assume I do.
@@hkloss11
1. The US was not the reason why Nazis lost during WWII, we can mostly thank the USSR for that, with help from UK, France and the rest of europe.
2. Countless wars has been started by the US. Do i have to remind you about Vitenam or Afghanistan?
3. You state that european citizens don't trust Germany ("Germans have never had a good press all over Europe"), this is not true. As a european myself neither me or anyone i know are scared of or believe that Germany would do anything like what happened during WWII again.
I suspect the biggest problem is that a very large percentage of the population live in a US, bubble. They hardly know other countries exist let alone what life is like for those in those countries.
The ignorance is what stops them realising how badly they are treated and demanding things improve.
Just like the system intends. If you don't know what you're missing, how could you demand it? That's why the education is what it is: We're the best, everyone else sucks, don't even look at them, be grateful for the amazing life you have here in the best country on earth. You will take your insanely high costs of living and you will be happy for it, peasant. It's propaganda like any other. And it's scarily effective, to the point that people defend their objectively awful conditions, because they're the most free, the best and the richest.
Your motivation to learn is admirable. It's great to watch you take this journey.
The Walmart story blew my mind, I live in New Zealand. I get 15 days paid sick leave, can be increased at managers discretion. On top of that I can use my four weeks annual leave after that if needed. Even after that you have the option of unpaid sick leave. At no point would a company just fire their employees.
And if staff were having ongoing health issues the companies here would sit down with the individual to work out a plan to assist in recovery for example decreasing daily work hours or changing there role.
I feel like in a few years we'll be watching videos about your life as an American living abroad 😂
i liked the expression on your face at the end of the video where the flag ripped of the Wall. (you looked uncomfortable). As a German, let me tell you: Its just a Flag. No Country has to define its People. The People have to define their Country. We Germans learned this the Hard way...
In England we see flags for the short duration we spend in football tournaments and that's it.
Very few countries brainwash their children with a flag ceremony every day, the sort of thing right-wingers in the USA think socialists do...
❤
On a separate note though…Hey you didn’t yawn this video 🤣
Here in Germany, not married, I pay 23% taxes but it's all included. Health insurance, pension insurance and, unemployment insurance
I think channels like yours, and the ones you react to, are doing a great job raising awareness. I hope folk from the US watch too!

I knew some of the healthcare things, but WOW!! 15 years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I spent over 6 months in hospital. I've had countless MRIs and CAT scans. Years of rehab. Several bouts of brain surgery. A titanium plate 1/3 the size of my skull implanted. I take 14 different pills every day because or brain damage related issues. Being Scottish, I pay nothing for my medication. I need to see GPs all of the time. If I lived in the US, me and my entire family would be destitute!!!! I would no doubt still be without the plate in my head, if i was even still alive!
Hello German here, i would kill myself with that health "problem" if i were an american. Just because of the cost for me or my family.
This is so weird because if you meet an American they are so heartwarming. They will invite you in and share everything. But if their neighbor is having a hard time they dont lift a finger. It is a very weird mixture of being nice but yet refusing to help others.
They will help their neighbor... if they found their gofundme page...
I've lived in the same house for 9 years. Granted, I'm back in the woods. But I've met and spoke to a few of my neighbors ... like two times. No one even knows your name. I know one has about 9 yapping dogs that annoy me. And one has two brats that yell and bray. And that's the extent of my knowledge of my lovely neighbors.
I live in South Australia and was diagnosed with MS in '99, I have had at least 1 MRI every year and have not paid one single $. Nor do I pay for or support private health.
Those that do pay for private will get some sort of rebate back from the government which that money is paid from the public medicare fund.
Our services are decreasing more every year because of this and it is very obvious that we are heading towards an american health system.
Our two party government unfortunately is at the same party, the greed party.
At least our preferential voting system allows a few independnt candidates to get elected.
That’s not true, Australia is NOT heading toward an American system at all, that’s conspiracy theory nonsense.
It's hard to feel sorry for Americans when they are up in your face telling you how great they are and how not great you are and how evil you are because your country provides basic services to its citizens. Then you remember that Americans are being gaslit constantly and continually by their own government, by the corporations, by the media, and even in their churches. Americans are in an abusive relationship with America. And I do feel sorry for them.
It's a veritable shit-show alright America!
Mexico has received a huge migration of Americans in recent years, historically we have been one of the most hospitable countries in the world even when the immigrants are not kind or educated (good manners, restrained)... A good close friend of mine is a recently retired university teacher from Pennsylvania who said "my people just don't see themselves as economically oppressed, impoverished and plundered workers, but as future millionaires"
That was not an authentic Heidi-Video. No yawning = no good luck. ;) Nice to see you picked up this recommendation. There are many videos on this topic but to answer your question in the video: You and your family indeed should consider to move. Either to Canada or to Europe, I am quite sure you'd live a much happier life.
I was so caught up in the content I didn't even notice Heidi not yawn, Very sus. Possible haunted house though!
Hey from the UK 🇬🇧 This made me really sad 😢
I saw a video on the American prison system and how terrible it is it was really shocking to me and I’m from the uk
10:38 its not walmart's problem,if you have 1 more sick day,there will still be people who get sick for one day more.
The one who needs to change is the medical system.
Fun fact I learned a while back. If you're an US citizen, no matter where you live and how long you live there, you're required to file a tax report to the IRS every year
Yeah, been doing that since I became an expat. Though while I live a happy life, by American standards I make little enough that I occasionally get a refund.
19:54 they call that Lobbies we call that bribery 😂
Came here to say the same thing :) Corruption and cronyism are also good words! :D

It's really nice to see more and more american reactions about comparisons between the economic giant that the U.S. is and the rest of the world.
The last 2 videos showed some important topics revolving around social and workers rights, but I can also suggest a great series of nicely subbed videos
on recent american history. I'd assume the topic is not really taught in depth, if at all, since it's a delicate one for the U.S., but i'd recommend checking out:
"Volker Pispers History of the USA and terrorism". A nice example of german political cabaret, putting the finger where it hurts.
So far enjoying the open minded approach to learning about the world, keep it going :)
I never understood why raising campaign money is necessary to win elections in the US. Alone the amount of lobbyists big companies employ for this is ridiculous.
In the USA, the main task of politicians seems to be fundraising.
In many other countries, the election campaigns are regulated by taxpayers' money. There is then only a short campaign period and not a regularly recurring cycle of election campaigns instead of making political decisions FOR the population.
Since 1977 in Québec Canada, lobbyists and any company aren't allowed to finance a political party. Just individual are allowed to send money up to 1000$, that's it.
People who make donations to political parties and then say they aren't doing it to try and influence policy. It's a bit like if someone sees you in a bar and offers to buy you a drink, they're not doing because they think you look thirsty.
Yeah, pretty powerful video, isn’t it? The more you learn - you say, and it’s true; you are learning more and more and that sets you apart from the rest.
Can you stay and live in the US? Yes, if you have money. That still does not solve the problem the country has but, you probably will be better off elsewhere. Anyway, I’m glad to see one more Americans getting educated and informed. Keep it up!
Kind regards from Sweden
@ 15:55 "what does she means other places did to us"?? Are Us Americans aware they are the most violent and murderous country in the world? Like are they aware of all the war crimes, destructions and coup d'etats they've done to other countries? WTF is going on, "did to us"?! Half the world is still waiting for apologies!!🤯

When you treat people like animals, whether before or in prison, as is the case in the U.S., you don't have to be surprised if they act like animals when they get out of prison.
Law on lobbying. This is the USA's BIGGEST mistake
Anyone with a lot of money can legally buy an MP/Senator to vote against a law requiring them to give more rights to their workers. By the same token, this lobbying law allows anyone with a lot of money to commission a law and buy the right people to pass it…
In effect, your law on lobbying is the legalization of corruption, but only at the highest level!
I'm British and so proud of having a National Health Service to cater for the populations needs from cradle to grave.
When I was a little younger I used to see this Gofundme thing on Facebook from time to time, I still do sometimes or something similar. At that time I had no idea what the American health care system was like and just thought "Well, go to the doctor, why the money?,, because here in Germany it is mandatory to have health insurance and it is almost always covered 100%. I really feel sorry for the people who live there with a serious illness or just get sick, which is actually normal worldwide.
I'm from Norway and everybody here have the right by law for a place to live, if you are homeless it's by choice and not because you're forced to live outside. Not seen many homeless people tough in Norway.
8:51 "No parent needs 10k in debt"
Its interesting and telling for the American mindset, that the cost isn't expected to be paid directly resulting in the use of the term "debt" rather than expenses.
The US is a debt-spiral.
Seen multiple video's of you now. Just move to Europe. I am a Dutch living in Portugal. Always welcome here :)
Why do Americans put up with this? As someone from the UK it baffles me. Tell your political leaders that Americans need universal health care than making another millionaire.
A number of very wealthy people spend a lot of money trying to make things stay this way.
I think the states are doomed and trapped in this cycle of pain. The lobbies are too strong, and the two-party system successfully keeps everything that could make a change happen away. The only way is a complete restart and for that, the system has to collapse completely.
When she said "Did Walmart care??" my heart hurt a little bit because the problem isn't Walmart. Large Corporations will always exploit people as they are deeply rooted in self destructive capitalism. The real problem is the government. Like having limited sick days at all is illegal in a whole bunch of countries. Ofc you don't always get payed unlimited sick days but like you can't get fired for something you can't control.
No. Whilst I don't want to excuse any government in the slightest, there is nothing stopping large corporations, like Walmart, from acting ethically. It certainly isn't in the workforce's interest to excuse them. Like this poor lady found out the hard way.
Lol my housemate overheard you talking about claymation, he also hates it. Says it makes him feel sick haha
3:14 That look when you catched yourself yawning was priceless! 😅
I would suggest as your channel grows that you take a little time and spend 3 months in Portugal or Spain (I'm in the south of Spain and can get by on under $1000 per month all included) or even Mexico. If you are still at college, do a year in Slovenia (many English classes and nearly free for foreigners). PS. you can keep producing TH-cam content from all of those countries (Slovenia and Bulgaria have better wifi than the US) and get a first-hand experience of what so many people have said in your videos. #GoWhereYourTreatedBest
It's absolutely not complicated. It's the most straight-forward thing in the world, that no one in this country ever wants to talk about. What we do with Healthcare, and Pharma isn't dumb if you happen to be an executive for, or own stock in those companies. It makes them disgustingly wealthy, and it only requires the sacrifice of a few tens of thousands of lives a year to maintain. It also requires BOTH parties in government happily do the bidding of those corporations, but it turns out that's not too difficult to get them to do. Just a little petty bribery, and their priorities become everyone's priorities.
Oh, the thing you are talking about with the political parties would be the two party duopoly. The parties control the election process to such an extent that you will likely never get the chance to vote 3rd party, or if you do they'll lose, or even if they win you have a couple decent people in a legislative branch of 535 criminals. It's pointless.
And that is just some of the reasons why i would never move to America. I was thinking about moving to America ( California ), but then i started to do a ton of research, and the more i learned, the more horrified i got..if i decided to move there, just based on the "American illusion", then i would have made a huge mistake. I have heard people that did that, and now they feel trapped there. They want to get out, but for different reasons ( family etc ) it is just not possiple for them. The "American dream " is just that...only a dream..or to be more correct : The American Lie...most Americans are still living in some kind of Matrix that have been pulled over their eyes from the moment they are born...very sad and quite disturbing 🙄
A big problem is that when people hear "average", they think "median". Average is an OK metric to use if there is low inequality, but when inequality is high it becomes extremely deceiving.
Example: Imagine a workplace with 5 workers and an income range of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 100 dollars per hour. This means that 4/5 workers at that place has slave wages and lives in absolute poverty. Yet the average hourly wage shows up as 22 dollars per hour, which is a decent salary. The median income however would reveal only 3 dollars per hour, which obviously would be much closer to the reality these workers live in. So this average representation of America makes it look deceptively on par with other industrialized countries, but the reality is that the bottom 30% in America has it much much worse than the bottom 30% in any other industrialized country. Because the ultra rich 1% pulls up the average figure just enough to hide the dark reality tens of millions of Americans live in.
When our son was born in California our Swedish Health Care covered the 3 days in the hospital plus we had 1 years
of of parent leave pay so we could be at home with our child, and we were not in Sweden!! nuff said. We also received “ Barn bedrag” Child support money every month until he was 18. It’s automatic and our taxes are at work and visible and actually working therefore we are very happy with our Swedish Tax System
1119 for an MRI scan is pretty absurd. I got one when I was a teenager, after someone at a party persistently claimed that I had slammed my head against a bathroom sink. I didn't have any recollection of it, but I went to the hospital in Oslo, Norway anyway. The scan cost me about $50, and I thought that was a lot 😅 They didn't see any indications of blunt trauma, and I'm pretty sure the other guy was either really drunk, or just being an ahole 🤔
During covid. One of the major college here in Norway warned students abroad, telling they should return home, especially if they were studying in countries with poorly developed helath care , and poprly developed collective infrastructure, for example the USA.🙈😂 they did not specify any other countries.
Reminds me of my body lotion that was made in Finland: there's a warning *for* *Americans* not to use it internally 😅
Oh I remember that one. I think one of the talk show hosts in the US talk about it and saying something like "Norway calls US as shithole country"
My mom has cancer, and I'm from Denmark. If my mom died for the reason that we couldn't afford healthcare, and that no one could help us I would have done something wild to lash out. I'm honest in saying that stress like that can give you frustration that urge you to lash out. Luckily I don't have to think about that, because my mom is beating cancer because of the exceptional proffessionals that are helping her. Without our healthcare system I would have had to say goodbye to my mom before my nephew was born and I thank the universe every day that I was born here.
She will win the fight against that shit. 💪
Very good video sis. I wish you found another title because I can't share it with American friends, I don't want em to feel like I talking shit on USA.. which I am not. I m just learning cultural stuffs and practicing my English
I really like the content and your willingness to break out of the bubble (we all grow up in them). Sub'd
This is depressing
But informative.
Watching you is like watching a young child learning things about life. Nothing wrong with that but you are one in 330 million. There are others I've watched go through this over the years. I just hope you spread the word that the USA is not all as they say it is. Don't get me wrong somethings in the states are great but a lot isn't. My country isn't good at somethings but we know it. I wish you well on your journey. If you get the chance travel to other countries it is only then you can look at where your from with clear vision!
I don't agree with the title of the video. No, America doesn't suck at everything. But somehow the title "Why America sucks at many things but is great at others" doesn't really roll off the tongue nor does it have the same ring to it.
I dont know whether is great at others, title seems to be pretty accurate...
What is America great at?
@@helenagreenwood2305 America is great at everything
@@kaydod3190 can you be specific please and name something USA is great at? It's not workers rights (compared to other nations) - it's not access to healthcare - it's not great policing ( they seem to want to escalate and arrest rather de-escalation) it's definitely not reducing gun crime and mass shootings - and although the USA holds about 4% of the worlds population it houses 20% of the prison population - I can't think of a single reason to want to visit and definitely wouldn't move there
@@helenagreenwood2305 Who cares? I ❤️America
Just for medical stuffs, I had shoulder surgery in 2019 and my ortho doc wouldn't let me get back to work until my physio therapy was finished. 1. for surgery and 3 days of hospital stay I paid 30€. 2. I had 12 weeks of "sick" leave after the surgery with 6 weeks of 100% pay and 6 weeks of 80% pay. I was so glad I could go back to work after that.
Think of the way most people live:
They force themselves to wake up early in the morning, dress up, drive straight to some workplace, spend 8 hours or so doing work they hate, drive back home, surf the Internet or watch TV, and then go to sleep, only to repeat the same routine the next day for almost their entire lives.
In our culture, we consider this kind of living as normal and even healthy, but if you stop and think about it, it’s not healthy at all.
Life can be immensely beautiful, yet instead of making the most out of it, we choose to waste it, and that’s because we’ve been programmed to believe that this is the only way to live. Habits, tradition and dogmatic beliefs have turned us into mindless automatons who follow a predetermined path that was forced upon us by society.
This programming, however, can be broken, if we realize that it’s in our hands to transform the way we’re living, and gather enough courage in our hearts to think and act differently. Then, life can be turned into a celebration filled with joy, creativity, love and play.
Friend of mine is a nurse at a catholic bishop owned hospital. They had a meeting about expenses and where to make cut backs due to patients not paying their bills. The higher ups noticed that the hospital spends alot on staffing, and are just considering letting go of like 25% total all departments combined. Another idea was to deny services to certain people, like drug "users" (not just addicts).

Greetings from Austria (Europe)
My biggest flex in life is that I have the privilege to live in Sweden.
**sniff** I wish I wasn't so sensitive to the cold, or I'd have moved over quite a while ago already... Even the colder winters here in northern Germany can be a bit too much for me already (possibly some combination of sensory processing sensibility + relatively weak immune system + cardio-vascular issues, i.e. poor circulation)
Hoping to move to northern Sweden next year :)
When I was a child, I dreamed of living in America when I grew up. I was born and raised under socialism in a small country called Hungary. Now I am almost 50 years old and I am happy to stay here. We have problems here too, but they seem so small compared to the problems in America... It is so sad.
I am so glad that your shocked, and not shook. It really winds me up.
Thank you for your rectification about America at the end 👍🏿
Normal worker US citizens should feel obligated to leave that hostile country for their own sake. If you stay, you're literally begging to be exploited all your life (which at least will be comparably short).
In Sweden, we pay $200 per year for all your medicine. The same cost for all your doctor costs.
I'm french, but I grew up in the US for a while so I have a few American friends I'm still in contact with. The last few years when we had the big strikes and manifestations all over France, some of them messaged me asking stuff like "are you safe", etc.. When I told them I was perfectly fine and was actually participating in the protest efforts, they said stuff along the line of "but don't you love your country ?".. I was completely dumbfounded.. Of course I love my country, I love my people. That's WHY we're protesting, because the assholes in charge are constantly trying to sell our nation to the highest bider. We shout and criticize and protest our government BECAUSE we love our country, and we want it to be better for everyone.
10:48 in Australia we also have a set amount of sick days, but we wouldn’t be fired for going a day over; that would just be leave without pay, or if your employer is nice about it, it will use up your holiday pay
