You are massively underestimating, how "liberal" Europe is from an American perspective. I think, the major difference between both is in the individualism vs collectivisms trait. In Europe it is generally accepted to provide a social and monetary safety net for the not so well offs to be able to participate in social life. Workers rights and benefits also play a big role. In Europe those are fought for by workers and unions and granted by law.
Either legalize all drugs or illegalize all drugs, including cigarettes and alcohol. This wishy-washy bullshit is annoying and it helps NOBODY. If you wanna take drugs, you're getting them.

I do not live in milwaukee but I agree, that city still expensive as well. I live in a very country area in WI and the prices are not as high compared to the city.
Just btw.. Weed is going to be legal in Germany soon. The process is already ongoing and it's taking longer than expected, but it's just a matter of time now.
11:12 A huge difference between USA and literally the rest of the world, especially europe and germany is... We don't have zoning laws. Here, we mix and match residential and commercial spaces as needed and possible. That way, there is actually no need for strip malls at all. Everything you need is either in walking distance from your home ... or you drive near a Fussgängerzone or some mall, park your car once.. and then stroll trough the shops you want to visit. ;)
Germany is legalising Cannabis in the next months. We have a lot of drugs in Europe too. The cultural difference between US and most european states is, that we treat addiction more as a social-medical problem, trying to give them medical treatment instead of locking them up in prisons for years, which will probably cause them further more problems instead of healing.
In Germany, weed will be allowed in 2024, that was decided in October of this year. Germany is not so strict with punishments but there are many facilities for people who need help in various situations. Our health insurance also cover mental health treatment
Nalf lives in germany, not in the US , he is only shocked about some things when he comes back to the US to visit his family and of course you notice things that you hadn't noticed before because you were USED to them!
Nalf didn't say he wants the US to be like Europe, he just talked about differences that "shocked" him when coming back. Some of them may be things, Europe (or Germany especially) may need to adapt to ;)
I`m only at the start of the video but I just want to say that you earn more money in the US. It`s still more expensive but not that much. Average income in the US is 77,463$ per year and in Germany it`s 58,940$.
... but in Germany you have cheap public transportation and education/school is free. Also Germany has a cheap healthcare system, etc. Like: giving birth in Germany costs around 2.500€ and is covered by your healthinsurrance. Giving birth in the US starts at $10,000+ ans is usually not covered ... so kind of: yeah, they are making more money, but because they need more money!
Yeah you are right. But also keep in mind that we have to pay more taxes. The things you mentioned are paied by taxes so its cheap for us. In the US you earn more money and they take less from you. Thats nice until you have to pay for the things you mentioned xD I prefer to live in the German system ^^@@JohnHazelwood58
I just wanted to mention it because I noticed that during my work and travel in Australia. Everything is more expensive but you earn more money. In the end it`s nearly the same. I was never in the US so I don`t know if it`s the same there but yeah ^^ I just wanted to mention it @@JohnHazelwood58
@@Blanko1998 sure, but i dont need to worry for the safety of my kids in school or their way home with a bicycle, while in the USA, people on bicycles get beaten by car drivers... you dont get broken my medical bills in Germany.. and dont get my started with your bad car drivers!
2:20 And there is another thing - US fruits and vegetables taste like carton compared to what you get in Germany. I lived in the US and was born and live in Germany. Even expensive Walgreens tastes bad. Same for other food that is not comparable. I visited McD und BK in the US and it was awful. Never again. You expect with international chains like that it should taste the same wherever you are on the world, but no. Legalize weed - sure, why not. There are enough countries in Europe where you can buy weed. Germany is the odd exception. It's proven weed makes less problems than alcohol or addiction to pills like painkillers in the USA.

@@Pjalphareacting the big question is not 'how much money as a number do I make?', it's 'how much can I buy with this money?' If you make 5000 USD a month and have to pay 2500 USD in rent, you're not 'making more money' than someone who only earns 1500 USD a month and only pays 500 USD for rent. You pay half of your income, they pay a third, meaning they have more of their income for other things. If you make 50% more than a person from Germany, but the person in Germany pays less than half the price of your groceries, they can buy much more groceries from the same part of their income than you can - or buy other stuff from part of their income which you have to use for groceries yourself.
