The vast majority of problems in USA can be attributed to greed and selfishness.
That's America for you..
Europeans care for community, but Americans confuse this with communism.
No, it’s education. Millions of people enjoy being wrong about major issues because they don’t know any better.
@@RobTheWatcher I agree with both of you. A lack of education, particularly the failure to teach critical thinking, has allowed US citizens to become unhealthily indoctrinated regarding the importance of wealth, and the consequent necessity for an adversarial social structure. But I guess with little Federal or State social support, accruing wealth actually is more important.
@@user-zu6ir6kj5g Indeed. Something like a mass murder of any kind is something for someone to sell t-shirts, sell songs, raise funding for re-election and dunk on the other major political party.
There's also a lot of Americans who have never travelled outside the country. Europeans are more inclined to do so due to being surrounded by so many countries. If you never go outside your country, you're not going to experience how different life can be.
No joke, at some point some American dude legit asked me why I don`t have a problem with paying 45% tax and how isn`t everyone rebelling in the streets, since the nanny states of Europe rob us all of our hard earned money. The guy simply could not wrap his head around the notion of subsidized healthcare/ free education. "Why would u pay for someone else`s health but your own? Why are u ok with paying for someone else`s education?" (mind u, I don't have kids and never will, I never wanted that life for myself). I asked him "why wouldn't I want to pay for it?" I benefited from free college as well, my parents did not pay a dime on it. They could not have afforded to send me to a private university. I would not have been a good contributor without that free education.
This life is not all about us, as individuals, we are social animals, we literally cannot watch someone being sick, famished, in pain, our eyes involuntarily start producing tears when we see humans in unfortunate situations, we no longer enjoy our own food and good health if we are made to look upon other people`s misery. I don`t want to live in a world where kids go to sleep hungry, I dont care that I dont have my own kids, other people`s kids deserve a fair chance in life as well. I pay for other people`s health right now, there will be a time when someone else`s kid will pay for my health, my pension and my state subsidized transportation and whatever other perks my state will provide at that moment. I don't need to be rich, I just need to be comfortable, which I am on my current net income.
I dont have a car, I take public transport or Uber/taxi. I take two vacations/per year outside my country, plus a city break or two. I became a home owner at the age of 43 and I currently pay the bank 33% of my net income (after taxes). I spend 33% of my income on my daily and social life and I save 33% of it. Paying these high taxes does not bring me frustration, I dont feel poor because I`m paying for them (that`s because I`m not actually poor). Making 20% more from my paycheck will not in any way ensure that I live in a society which is educated, healthy, safe, more likely it would ensure the opposite. What good will it do to me earning more if I feel unsafe out on the streets and I constantly fear that hordes of poor, sick, uneducated, desperate persons lay there, waiting to put a knife to my throat and rob me? No, thanks, here, have my money and ensure that there are not such people in the streets.
My only concern is how well, how efficiently, transparently and judiciously the state spends my tax money. That`s it.
36:55 Who is arguing that there are more people living in the USA than in Europe? The USA has a population of roughly 335 million while the European countries have a population of 740 million. But going by the fact that at least half of the US Americans can't even name 3 EU countries it doesn't come as a surprise that they think the US has more people.
Sometimes you just have to force your little mind to do a little work and read between the lines there, my gal. When comparing populations of countries, generally people are comparing populations of well, countries. I know it may seem radical to you, but the EU isn't a country. So most Americans know very well that the population of their country dwarfs yours, as well as any others included in the EU.
@@rukus9585There is no "between the lines". If the statement is "The US is larger in population than Europe" then they compare their COUNTRY to an entire CONTINENT. And the continent Europe has more than double the population that The USA. It's a simple fact that refutes the statement and not some imaginary "between the lines".
Well *"Europe"* is often used as a short for *"EU"* _"Europian Union",_ but *still* then the EU has around *448 million people.* As of 2023 Jan.
So even then... EU or Europe have a higher P0P.
• Germany with 83,3 mil pop has solo 1/4 pop of the US. This lil country in comparison. The highest pop of all in the EU.
to be fair, there is violent crime and even random violence in europe, but it's usually very contained and very very rare, especially if you consider per capita
German here who spent an exchange year in MI! I wanted to say that for me small talk has always been horrible, I only grew up with it in our small town because we actually knew eachother. I grew fond of it at first when going shopping in MI BUT I quickly figured out that its really always JUST small talk and people don't expect an honest answer and everything is very shallow and supericial... So I started hating it again. This also kinda corresponds with the term friends. In the US you would call almost everyone a friend. Here in Germany it's just different and being called friends is usually "earned" (don't know how else to put it) :D Great video!
American shallowness & their obvious ignorance of others is disturbing to me & from what I know of the US I`ll never move there its better if we europeans stay here & build up our countries ourselves.
As a dane, the thought of the small talk shops sounds like the stuff nightmares are made of.
I would leave such a shop and not return.
I've come to shop not small talk to strangers, that would annoy me.
To me it reminds me of when you are on a Vacation in Turkey, and the street sellers are come over here my friend, see how what I have, special price for you.
edit: corrected some grammar.
I agree 100%!
Just to add one thing, an American (online)friend, told me about how the "political debate" are in America, and to me, it sounds like, who can Yell the loudest, and attacking the person, instead of attacking the point of the argument and come with a better solution.
@@argantyr5154This is correct! It’s more of a reality TV episode than a debate lol.
Thanks, now I know why my fiancée wants to move in with me even though I live in a big city in Europe and she comes from Florida
Where i live in UK, if you're in a shop, the most an assistant will bother you with is "if you need any help, just give me a shout".
That’s the ideal interaction!
Without wanting to attack anyone personally, but my thoughts can't be so perverse that I could/wanted to imagine a life in the USA. As a European/German, I get chills at this idea.
Understood!
If ur in the high end talented tenth than u probablely will make like 2 or 3 times as much so u would be stupid not to. if ur in the like top 1/3 or 1/4 it might be a good idea but its probablely a wash. If ur everyone else than its not a good idea
@@jerredhamann5646living in the US because of the capitalism is an option, yes. But you won't have a safety net and also having children is generally speaking more difficult.
Yes, I don't think you would like it here -- you shouldn't come. On the other hand, I think warmly of all of the people who DO come. They're generally ambitious and entrepreneurial and looking to make their way in the world rather than being taken care of. My own city has many such South and East Asian immigrants along with many Hispanic immigrants. In my state (of Michigan) there are also populations from Burma and the Middle East (who forbearers came to work in the auto industry). You may have noticed that Silicon Valley is also full of such immigrants -- a few of whom are in leadership positions in largest companies (Satya Nardella at Microsoft). In the AI boom, apparently 65% of new AI companies have immigrant founders or cofounders. There are not so many European immigrants there these days, though, and that's probably fine (although we'd still be happy to accept your go-getters). But you don't sound like you'd be coming to start a new company or otherwise give a boost to the economy. Stay there. Live in your rental. Ride your trains. Enjoy your month-long holidays and 'free' health care.
@@jerredhamann5646 "If ur everyone else than its not a good idea" We have lots of people coming to the US who are not highly educated (or even English speakers). But many such people work in unfashionable lines of work and then start their own businesses (restaurants, cleaning services, construction, lawn services, etc) and end up making good money. You don't have to be a genius, just ambitious and hard-working.
A very nice video. I cant miss the feeling - you didn't even need to articulate it - by the way you talk about Germany, that you do miss the life you had in Germany. It will get better. And who knows, maybe you get your chance to go back (again). I feel with you.
I am so sorry for all the stuff that happened to you, your marriage, you health and all, but I think you are now at a point where it can only get better. Establish yourself again, get into your routines and once everything is off to a good start then start looking into maybe going back again, if you still want it. You never know what life has still t offer, in which direction it will take you .... all roads are open!
Stay safe, stay healthy, don't loose your optimism. All the best!
Come back to Germany bro for your sanity & happiness. I'm just settling in Köln after a big move from Vancouver it's been interesting
Man that’s the goal! How are you liking Köln???
@@TreyDaze It's been great and I love how compact it is over here. An hour drive and I have my fam in Brussels having waffles and an hour further Paris. Used to take a 5 hour flight and still be in the same country
@@ferocious3 That’s amazing man! Keep enjoying life and explore as much as possible!
just to give you an impression about safety in Germany. When I was 14, I was allowed to go to Munich, which is 100 miles from my parents', on a christian festival with my elder of-age sisters. I had a ticket for the subway and I spent the whole week exploring a 2.5 million inhabitant city unsupervised on my own while my parents were a 1.5 hours drive away. I was able to do that because public transport is that good that you can reach any place at any time without effort, no-go areas and crime are virtually not existent and there are always helpful people around who would be there if a kid gets into trouble.
Wow! This is amazing!
Dear Trey, greetings from Germany! Good to see you seem to feel better. I had my gall bladder removed, too, in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and it wasn't pleasant.
I have to correct you about the time it takes to get a driving license here in Germanyy. It is not 4 years - you have to be a very bad driver to take so long. Usually it is 6-9 months, depending on how frequently you take your driving lesseons and how good you are. There are certain lessons you have to take, like driving in the city, driving on country roads, driving on the Autobahn, driving at night, parking etc. You also have theoretical lessons, where you learn the rules. Then you take aa theoretical test if you know the rules, and a practical test in which you drive, and you also have to take a first aid course, so you can help when you witness an accident and people are hurt.
Food has also become more expensive here. Last year we had 10% inflation, so everthing got more expensive, especially food, heating and electricity. That's because of the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is one of the largest supplier of grain in the world, and since the country has been attacked and food exports have been made very difficult by Putin, there is a grain shortage worldwide, and people are eating other food, which in turn also becomes scarcer. This led to a worldwide increase in food prices. And it's similar with heating - the democratic countries have stopped gas impoerts from Russia, so this had become scares (and therefore expensive) too. So things getting expensive is not just a US thing.
I wish you all the best and hope you find a way to come back to Europe!
"And there is that city of Amsterdam where people only drive bikes .."
Now I know the cause for all those silly questions on Quora.
You begin to sound like yourself again! That's good to see - All the best for you to go on!
Hey brother! Good to see you. I appreciate your kind words.
It´s nice to see you again! Stay as cool as you really are and take care!
Good to see you too brother! Thanks for sticking around!
When we visited our reletives in Ohio when i was a child i remember we were excited how cheap everything was in comparison to Germany. Unbelievable that has completely changed.
Ohio is still relatively on the cheaper end of the pricing spectrum. But definitely higher than Germany sadly.
Sounds like you miss Europe. Hopefully you will be able to move back. Sounds like you really miss it there
Hey Trey. Good to see you well. Interesting Video. But on that Inflation topic i have to add that Europe is suffering very bad inflation aswell. Germany is the most brutal example
I would be interested to see the effects at grocery stores and in housing prices. I’ll be back soon!
Problem is that inflation in EU and USA are not exactly compareable. Inflation was very very high in USA since 2019/2020, and has risen at higher rates than the inflation in EU. So, when ukrain war and next Inflation Wave hit the us prices were extremly high to start with and then came a big rise in Inflation again..
This is why the prices are much much higher than in germany /EU. Yes , we had high inflation last year, but it is going down since months and will be even lower in a couple of months.
Great to hear from you again!
Thanks Alan!
asking a customer for their telephone number to get reward... sounds like a quick way to make a European customer not like you😂
Great video 👍
Another great video!
"putting people first", well that is the goal of socialism in europe and constantly putting work into reducing corruption in all levels. but socialism is a triggerword in usa.
Great Video, man. I like your balanced way of explaining things. I also appreciate how you pronounce city names correctly. Nice job! Concernig the Händlmaier Bavarian Sweet Mustard: Yes, and Yes again. With the White Sausage, the real Bavarian Bretzl and a Maß of beer I would go American mode and go extra large for once! 😁
I’m gonna visit a German restaurant here and film it!
Well said 👍
Speaking to Pedestrianism ... @CityNerd .. a fellow TH-camr speaks on this topic often ... He's also from Portland and moved to Las Vegas .. There 's no telling where he is now ... but his chennel is great... He does city content ... It's super interesting and his deadpan style is hilarous.
I spent 2 years on big island 🏝️ and 3 years on Oahu and also Maui …..incredible experience but crazy expensive.
I miss my ohana trey ….God Bless
The way you present all this information is very interesting. Thank you so much. .Please keep a lot of these comparisons/cultural differences coming. I'd also like you to compare USA as well.....
Will do! I appreciate your feedback!
Hi Trey! Employers in Germany have the option now to pay employees inflation money up to 3000 Euros. Either monthly a few hundred euros or in a lumpsome. It helps, and I think it is awesome. I assume the U.S. doesn´t do that? In regards to housing: If a lot of people want to go and live in a certain area, prices rise. But in Germany it is the same thing. The city housing market is saturated, so now the prices living in small villages outside of it, also rises. so basically it is pretty much the same in almost all countries. I think that a person lives where they feel comfortable regarding environment, people, good employment options, and security. Yes, prices of anything you need to pay for count too, but at the moment, the financial issues are everywhere. Fresh fruits and vegetables in Germany go bad within a few days (exception sweet potatoes lol). I LOVE Trader Joes, sad that they don´t open one up all over Germany. They don´t stack the same food at all times, but create new foods every few months, and then put them in the stores. Love the variety! Greeting from Bavaria!
Wow!!! I had no idea about companies offering Financial inflation funds to employees. That is something that would never happen in the States.
The list of things to improve is big. Better get started.
A lot of the things are gate kept by dinosaur politicians. There’s a huge push for term limits in the US and Boomers and the older generations don’t think there should be limits.
@@TreyDaze after the coronation of Trump in November things will just get worse
Stay safe!
Speaking to the customer service point ...... How you treat people matters .... And I believe that even if its fake and just fluff for us to give a good review or for that person to keep a job .. I'll take it ... But I'm American thru and thru .... I'm not sure how that's going to play out when I get to Germany .... I'm convinced I'm going to think everyone is rude .. 😂😂 North Carolina born and raised where southern hospitality still exists.
Southern Hospitality and European “Charm” are the complete opposites lol. However, you will find warmth and openness throughout. Especially in the UK, Scandinavia and Turkey! You’re gonna have a blast!
@@TreyDaze Ha ... Thank you for this warning. I"ve been trying to prepare myself but there is nothing like the real thing.
Maybe things will seem rude once you’ll experience it because you are used to the fluff. From my European point of view our customers service isn’t rude, but efficient, mostly correct and less invasive. If they would be overly friendly I might think they are pulling the wool over my eyes or want to get something from me 😅
Good video. you look good
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Hi Trey, I am currently in Malaga, Spain and there are more and more Americans coming. All age groups and all walks of life, including ex military. And the number 1 reason is to actually be "free"! Yep, you heard that right. But thinking about it, due to the reasons you said, you are not really free in the US as an average American. You need to have a car, no choice there. You most likely have to buy bad food due to cost. The "freedom" of speech is used these days to intimidate and misinform you. The country or elite, wants you to be uneducated to not think for yourself, like communism, so you don't question what is going on and just spent money like there is no tomorrow to keep the economy going, no matter the consequences. You will support it, no matter what. You will not have a free mind and if you say something negative on the street, the chances you get shot are real.
I see that first hand with my grandkids. When I am trying to tell them that this or that is better in other countries, they just say, "Well, that is good that we make it different because we are America and we do not want to do it like them"...seriously, a 14 year old is saying that, not knowing any other country or if different is better or worse? It is just sad really. Take care.
Hey Martin! I appreciate your perspective as always I am beyond jealous that you’re in Malaga! Please eat all the tapas you can for me.
@@TreyDazeI am following a Russian guy who moved to Portugal. He says Portugal has a very good visa scheme for digital nomads.
I also hear that Spain has very friendly visa policies for Latin Americans. I know that Puerto Rico is a colony of the US and I don't know how it is considered in Spain.
Estonia is also a paradise for digital nomads.
Yes, rate of violent crimes in Germany is lower than the US average per capita, but violent crimes and even terrorist attacks do happen. There was a school shooting in the town of Winnenden near Stuttgart on March 11th 2009 with 15 people shot to death and an attack with a truck on a christmas market in Berlin on December 19th 2016, leaving 12 people dead and 56 injured, just to name two of the worst crimes in recent years.
But the statistics show that it is far more likely to be the victim of a violent crime in the US compared to Germany. The risk of getting shot to death with a firearm (excluding suicides) is about 10 to 15 times higher in the US consistently over the last two decades.
The fact that you had to go back 15 years to name the worst events in Germany already says a lot about the difference in violent crimes.
@@anouk6644there is every day racism in Germany that you don't hear about
I don't understand Americans that have lived here in Europe knowing that the quality of life over here is so much better than over there in America why go back to America why?
Europe is not perfect but it's still way much better than over there in America no offence.
Mr Tray Daze please come back to Europe seriously America is not that great anymore unfortunately once again no offense😊

Hey Trey, Im a German who has lived in Portland Oregon for 50years now. I agree with all of your points and really notice the difference every time I visit Germany. However, on the point of what you referred to as being patriotic, much of what I witness is more of a fanatic behavior. And regarding small talk, you are correct, but there are exceptions, especially in the smaller towns. Take care and cheers!
Come back to Europe. We need people like you.
I think youre wrong about why florida property is so expensive. ...ie.... 4 times more expensive than 10 yrs ago.
The bank if england released a report, which was commissioned a couple of years ago into why British house prices have also increased so much in ten years.
The conclusion was unanimous.
It was due to supply and demand.
Not the supply and demand for property,,, but the supply and demand of mortgage cash.
Like the states , the banks in england have massively increased the amount of foney mortgage cash theyve printed up....which in turn has puahed up home prices.
The same holds true in the states in places like florida.
And the same also holds true for food prices in the states.
You cant expect a pound of tomatoes to cost the same amount of dollars in 2023 as in 2020 if during the meantime youve increased the amount of dollars in the system by over 7 trillion.
Each one of the newly issued dollars is going to have its spending power dilututed....meaning youll need more of them in 2024 to buy the same amount of tomatoes than you would in 2020.
The same mechanism applies to homes , only this time around , its not so much the fed printjng up cash which has caused home prices to rise , but an increased appetite for risk from the mortgage banks meaning theyve printed off a lot more dollars to lend out than in 2012
I'm from NYC and we New Yorkers are a big reason why land prices have shot up in Florida... we New Yorkers keep moving down to Florida as we get older for the warmer weather and to protect our children from inheritance tax.
Better condements as a midwesterner im like but do they got ranch and horsey sauce?
On base…yes lol. They do have ranch in the UK and parts of France. I would say the Midwest is probably the closest region to Europe from a culinary standpoint. Big German, French, Polish, Italian and English influences in the Midwest.
30:17 I think something is missing in the USA that is part of the constitution in Germany: human dignity is inviolable. (Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar)
This requirement is the basis for all laws and plays a large part in people's basic attitudes.
I left the US for Europe in 1977. I don't think I could possibly ever adjust to living there again. Well, except for in Manhattan, if I could afford it. Only place I visited (school, 2yrs) since leaving.
You made the right choice! And yes…Manhattan is the only other place I would live in the US as well.
Regarding the "niceness" of people in service as a metric for their performance: As an Eastern European (who are mostly surly and serious like 80% of the time), it boggles my mind. It is so unfair to ask them to act like a perpetual ray of sunshine, especially of people who don`t naturally have a sunny disposition. It never occurred to me that people who work in stores, gas stations or restaurants should inquire of and mimic that they care about how I feel and how my day is going. Please, you don`t have to, you don`t need to smile at me, you don`t need to engage, you don`t need to act cheery. You are allowed to be a human being with problems, moods, attitude and you are certainly allowed to not give a crap about my life or my problems or any of your customers`problems. Your fake interest in my life feels intrusive and, frankly, does nothing but annoy me. When it comes to this specific American mindset, the worst category is that of the waiters. Please, dont ask me how everything is going or if there is a problem with my food or if I want something else every 5 minutes. Just leave me alone and go do your thing, I will let you know if I need you for anything. You dont need to hover over me and strive to make me feel important. In fact, the standard requirements for waiters should be to absolutely know their menus/drinks, to advice on choosing/ pairing of items in the menu and to write down accurately your order. And then step aside and just look every couple of minutes over the tables and notice if someone raised a hand and tried to attract their attention. Nothing else, no smiles, no jokes, no chitchat, we`re not here to bond over chicken wings and exchange life stories.
It is absolutely necessary for American waiters to ask you how's it going every 5 minutes. Over 50% of their income is tips, and by asking how everything is you can't leave a low tip and claim that the service was bad if you didn't complain when they asked you.
My country also has tipping culture, we leave 10% for good service, @@noseboop4354. But here "good" service means know what the f u sell, u let me know if a product is not all that good, u advise me on what is really good, make sure u did not forget an item on my order and dont forget to pick up my order from the kitchen as soon as its out. Also, pay attention to me, but I dont care if u do it from outside the restaurant while u smoke a cigarette, you dont need to engage up to the point where u become annoying. I dont need you to fake being my friend for an extra 10% of the bill. Tips should never be mandatory and their employer should provide living wages. Tips are for good service and good service does not equate the intrusiveness and the fake smiles the Americans think it means.
Asking "How are you ? " just tu turn around and walk away, that says all about how much worth small talk is really worth. You could also talk in Klingon or any gibberish you just invented, its very much the same. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say, its just bragging "Hey look i'm here, give me your attention, but don't expect to get mine".
BINGO!
Do you have a video that detail the steps to relocate to Germany. I am planning to relocate there after getting my degree. I don't even date or go out in the US. Have no desire to live here.
I’ll make a video this month on this! Great idea!
You will need a visa, a job, - both before you move - a German health insurance, and when you live in Germany, there are a couple of insurances you need to have (not optional). Be prepared for many, many rules, not as much digitalization as you might be used to. Driving is not the same as in the US, some different road rules you need to be aware of. You will also need a German drivers license, and very often your US drivers license will not just be transcribed, you might have to do a German drivers license test. You should be able to speak German at least at a B1 level, so you should already study German now, before you want to move. There is more, but these seem to be most important. Also be prepared for the cultural differences. Most US Americans find Germans rude and are surprised by the "lack of service mentality and small talk". Making friends requires more effort and don't even start comparing, that will not do you any good. Be as open as you can, don't take anything personal. Germans are very direct without ill intent. They are not malicious, they are just different.
Also be prepared for smaller cars, higher gas prices. Lower salaries, higher taxes, but also more social security in case of illness, disability, losing your job and so forth. So there are pros and cons. Be prepared for it to be a different life.
Don't go to Germany if you are black
The other commenter has already pointed out a bunch of important things, but just in case you haven't started learning German yet, here's some advice based on my own experience with language learning:
- while grammar is important, don't make it your main focus (I don't follow a strict plan or anything, but something in the ballpark of 30% grammar, 10% vocab, 60% input/output is what I'd recommend)
- a spaced repetition system such as Anki is great for learning vocab. I wouldn't do more than 10 words / day because your reviews will quickly stack up. Start with the most common words + words that are relevant to your life (e.g. related to your degree, hobbies, dietary requirements)
- once you got the basics down, focus on input. Over the years, I've literally had language classes with 150 people and nit a single one was able to achieve fluency from classes alone. Some had been studying English for 8 years and were barely able to form a coherent sentence that was more than 5 words long. Everyone who exelled at a given language had either spent some time abroad, used the language regularly in conversations, or consumed a lot of media in that language. Start of with something simple, ideally something you've watched before
- while apps like Duolingo shouldn't be your main resource, regularly interacting with the language is important. If the gamification aspect helps you develop a routine, by all means, go for it
- the lower your level, the faster your skills deteriorate. After school, I didnt really touch French for several years, went from B2 down to A2 (still able to understand a lot, barely able to speak). I've never really had a decent level of Japanese, so I basically just started over from scratch when i got back to it after a 3 mont break
- there's pros and cons to speaking early. If you're excited about speaking German, go for it. If not, don't stress about it for now. You can book sessions with tutors on italki or use apps like tandem to chat with natives. If you're a woman, you might want to consider setting your gender to male because for whatever reason, there's a lot of people who confuse language exchange apps with tinder. I've tried quite a few; Tandem and Slowly, in my experience, are the most pleasant ones. I also hear ChatGPT does a decent job at adjusting its output to your level, but I personally haven't tried it
Why do you want space ,when every thing is unbelievable terrible. In. US.

Florida great weather, horrible human rights, horrible social safety net . You couldn’t pay me enough to live in a red state. I’m a dual U.S. Italian citizen living in Vermont and you are absolutely right about Europe. Europe basically has its @@@@ together , the government is afraid of the people and not the other way around like in the US. In Italy, I have noticed even the cops are more chill. They just don’t seem super jumpy like NYPD(I’m originally from NY)
Hey! I love Vermont! I’m looking to make it back up there this year in the Fall. But yes, you are right. Europe definitely has its sh*t together.
Compared to living in the US, the UK is paradise...
Any place where a Full English Breakfast is served nationally is paradise!
Meh, as an American who has lived in the UK and now Germany, I disagree. Once you get outside of London, much of the UK is insanely underdeveloped. Not to mention the tremendous amount of taxes with very little public services now that the NHS has been mishandled by the Tories for so long. We have been much happier since we got to Germany.
Yes the US is an inhumane country to live in for poor & jobless people the UK is milder & friendlier.
@@RR-tm9ku & how does americans fare in a country were money isn`t the over riding topic on all people`s lips?
👍
I live in the UK. sadly our governments won't allow us to do a swap.

Quite a love hate relationship florida man ....
I've always felt americans purchasing of large housing feels like living beyond ones means at least for a fairly large portion of americans.
Of course. Financial literacy isn’t taught in the US.
@@TreyDaze Not here in Norway either.
It's not about literacy I think, it's about how people sell and market the idea of big homes to make people believe they must have big homes.
I suspect if we had the same insane marketing regulations as the US we'd also be manipulated into doing the same things.
wow with those rental prices, no wonder USians prefer to buy....
Yep. It’s insane!!!
Really? So people are nice because its tied to their job? I mean there aren't nice cashiers out here in Texas? Wow. This is news to me.
Several retail environments and restaurants have metrics that specifically measure customer satisfaction. Of course some employees couldn’t care less, but some do their best to abide by the standards. In a perfect world, these metrics wouldn’t exist and as we’ve seen in the EU…they don’t exist.
You could not pay me to move to Florida (or anywhere else in the US of A). What are all these people thinking?
Yes its to unsafe for europeans to move to the US. No one will give up what they have for uncertaintly. Its wrong to think moving to the US solves ones problems.
returning to usa nononono not for me
@28.00 check if FL qualifies to have your state side drivers license converted to a german one, if you plan on moving back. Pay a small fee and you´ll get the german one for the american one, which would save you time and money instead of going through the process...
Are you planning on living again in germany?! ...Or is it better state side from your view
Correction: You also have a lot of crime in germany and europe, shootings, mostly stabbings etc...it´s just not blown up or even shown on the news so you others don´t even know it happened...as opposed to the states
America and the rest of the western nation states and societies were doing just fine - and in spite of the circumstances are till doing amazingly well.
New sub from Melbourne Australia. It's not that European food quality is so much better than the US, its more the US is so far below other parts of the developed world. I find European food quality roughly the same as here, perhaps below in certain countries. We have very high standards here and I haven't even mentioned your coffee mate 🤮😅
Joanne! Welcome to the party!

Hey!!! You chose a great country to call home!
Go from us in peace. And may posterity forget that you were our countryman.
The US isn't a country but a business
You are going to buy a house in Florida? What about your son, doesn't your wife want to stay in Germany?
Do not expect your account to go viral expressing this lot of critics about your native society. The numbers you can only make in America and you can not attract Americans criticising America.
Funny that you mention that. Most Americans currently despise the state of affairs in the USA. On both sides of the aisle and amongst all socioeconomic statuses. Many Americans agree with my sentiments. Probably not about the condiments though lol.
@@TreyDaze Sure they do, but they will not love you for holding the mirrow.
@@schattensandFine with me!

American complaining about lack of space....
🤣🤣🤣😆
Moving from Hawaii to Germany it's like moving from dubai to Baghdad 😂
Hahahaha!!!
Streetview exists
lol to each their own. I hate Europe but hey whatever.
Why do you hate Europe? At least he tries to explain his points of view. Did you live in Europe for a couple of years ?
Damn man. I’m sorry to hear that. What do you hate about Europe?
Why do you hate Europe??
@@ericHHIII guess because of racism.... Especially in Germany
@@djzrobzombie2813 racism exists everywhere.
Hm, This was possibly the most cringe-worthy report on the topic I have had the misfortune of viewing. Repetitive and shallow does not even begin to touch the levels of ignorance and self-centeredness. You, Sir, are the consummate American of the variety that we joyfully appreciate to the see the backside of. We can, no, we will be happy to do without. All the best in your life and endeavours, but I sincerely hope to see/hear/perceive the least amount of your musings as you trudge through your American quagmire where fake is king and misery is elevated to social virtue and your fellow human being's suffering is laughed at and treated as personal defect in the one who is undergoing it.
Okay lol…thanks for watching.
@@TreyDaze😂😂😂 best response possible
Prices are high here because of Biden/Democrats. Get out and VOTE TRUMP!
I’ll be releasing a video talking about who I believe will be the next POTUS! Stick around…I think you’ll get a kick out of it.
Go to Aldi American.or Trader jo IT IS German to.
Aldi and Trader Joe’s are my favorite stores in the States! Especially Trader Joe’s!
