      Police in America are honestly not that bad.
      Europeans seem to actually trust American media outlets over DW or BBC funny enough.
      The BLM riots were mostly peacefull, but you would be delusional in thinking a large majority werent just spoiled white women burning down random peoples livelyhoods, for litterally no reason other than being bored during the pandemic.
      Police Brutality is a real issue in America, and both sides wanted to double down and fix the issue. But it seemed like a vast majority of spoiled white people sensationlized it as some "revolution" and began acting like clowns, and destroyed any unity between any political side into resolving the issue. George Floyd was a junkie, but he didnt deserve to have his neck caved in by some paid murderer.
      Imagine if the French stopped burning down government owned property, and began burning down apartments and their own people. Pretty sure the French police would actually get involved in that case.

As a University student in America my tuition per semester is around ~$20K, I am extremely lucky I only have to pay a fraction of that, but only because I got good grades and had connections with my university. A lot of my friends still pay upwards of 10K per semester, before factoring in room and board.

      Elisa Pajer You have the right to have kids, but that doesn’t mean you should. It’s not just America, lots of countries keep overpopulating. If we focus less on having kids and more on improving the world we wouldn’t need so many people in the first place. “It’s unfair,” tell that to the thousands of kids abused and killed every year by the parents that want kids they don’t need. Or what about people who have kids they can’t afford, ruining the child’s quality of life. Yeah, no, having kids is a privilege, not a entitlement, but as long as people don’t recognize that the world will continue to suffer overpopulation and lack of resources. Also land of freedom my left asscheek, the concept of America’s freedoms is only a dream that too many don’t want to wake of from. It’s only free when you get to make it that way.

Our nation has plenty of natural beauty, immense levels of economic prosperity, business innovation, the amazing levels of racial and ethnic diversity from all over the world gathered in one single nation, and an internationally acclaimed constitution that safeguards the rights to the most crucial of individual freedoms.
      So I don’t think you should sell America so short, without at least acknowledging the many positives that it has to offer. It truly is one of the world’s greatest nations, if not the greatest!

    As an American responding to how there aren’t riots in the streets: Speaking for my part, I didn’t realize until I travelled to Spain that other countries have it better in some ways. When my host mom complained about not having enough vacation (when they have, I believe, two weeks off for Christmas, one for Easter, and 3-4 weeks off in August). My whole reality up until then (again, as far as I know, having never personally having had a full-time job that pays on salary) was 1 week vacation, 1 week sick leave, but try not to take all your days off if you can manage to. I never thought about how it should or could be different, that’s just how life was. I think that’s often the case in life, is that we simply don’t know our “rights” or recognize that things could be better. I think it’s so important to travel, to be exposed to other cultures and mentalities, and with an open mind. It makes us aware that there are other realities, which can make us appreciate what we do have, and also become aware when our situation isn’t how it should be, or could be better.

      I was really shocked when I found out that paid leave is indeed "discouraged" over there and the healthcare system is confusing and bloody expensive. I had read about it but did not want to believe it lol.
      It still is strange to me that "choice" comes first (you can choose your own healthcare provider) which in reality means that some CEOs get rich on your health and you can get your benefits denied if their annual profit margin is not looking good which ought to be illegal to be honest. Could never happen over here.
      The problem is with the US educational system I believe. A lot of people know next to nothing about other countries, only one thing matters: the US, the greatest country on the globe (it is not it though).
      We have a progressive paid leave system over here - the older you get, the more days you have (I'm only 31 but I think I have 20-22 days a year - which will go up later on). If this would change, say, we get 1 week vacation and 1 week of sick leave as you do, the streets would fill up with people in a blink lol.

    I'm italian and I attend university for free (+ i literally get paid for attending uni since i have a scholarship, which almost half of the students have access to: it's not a privilege). I have free and universal healthcare; I live in Florence, overwhelmed by cultural events, beauty, museums, concerts, sorrounded by millions of people from all over the world. I don't own a car, neither have a driving licence (like almost all of my friends and colleagues at uni) because public transport is efficient, fast, quite capillar, frequent and free for students (and almost free for everybody else: 150€ for the annual pass for tram, metropolitan trains, buses). We have connection with trains for everywhere: in half an hour I'm Pisa or in the beautiful Tuscan seaside or countryside. In an hour circa of fast train I'm in Milan, Rome, Venice. Supermarkets are at every corner, quite cheap and filled with healthy food. I feel like living in the center of the world. I FEEL PRIVILEGED. Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am to be Italian and proudly European!

      Vince Brown Tbh Massachusetts is an anomaly by American standards. I’m from the GBA (greater Boston area), so I know.
      Our compulsory education is ranked third in the whole world. By state law high school teachers need a masters to continue teaching after a small window of time of getting their first teaching job. Our healthcare system is comparable to EU countries, I never had to pay a single cent for anything health related my entire life because of MassHealth. I got braces for free, all of my medication is free (a part from a special prescription sensitivity toothpaste I had to buy for $10 once), my physical therapy was free, I go to the doctors whenever and it’s always free, quick, and efficient. I literally book appointments to get documents signed because I don’t want to wait a week to get things done through the receptionists. As a high school student I got my MBTA monthly passes for $25, but now I don’t really use public transport.
      Our taxes aren’t ludicrous, I mean, they exist, but they are terrible.
      I go to university for free, and usually get a refund check for about $2000 every semester. So I’m basically getting paid to go to school. My siblings have a little debt (about $15k), so its manageable since they are working. I go to a top school in the Boston area, and got a full scholarship to go, so I don’t have any loans or debt to worry about.
      Theres a huge farmers market nearby (its p famous) with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables that are ridiculously cheap since they are set to go bad in a relatively short time and farms want to get rid of them, and since I live in a big family, it’s perfect for us. We get huge pints of blue berries and freeze them, each pint being $.90. Going to Costco helps save money too. Our rent for a two story home with four rooms is $1.7k a month, which is crazily low for the area we live in (Boston and it’s suburbs are known for high rent).
      I have a lot of money in my savings account because I never spend on anything and work during the summer in internships, and also have a bunch from school refund checks.
      I’m super privileged although we are technically below the poverty line and can’t afford super fancy things since were in a state that supports poor people really well.

      Americans: Don't want free healhcare because they fear it would cost them more in taxes.
      Also Americans: Pay stupid amounts for a health insurance that are filled with insurance company loop holes and don't for example cover the ridiculously high insulin costs and have medical bills as the most common reason for bankrupcy. Also still has the government paying more for healhcare per capita than any other nation on earth.
      Seriously the only ones who'd have to worry about the taxes if America switched to socialized healhcare are the ultra wealthy.

      Karen Miller I came here with my family from a poor country. And we have a 2 story brand new home with over 2,800 square feet in a above middle class neighborhood that we bought only for 185k$ and now (thanks to American real estate market) is worth 285$. Were not millionaires but we live comfortably, eat out a lot and have a lot of land. In Europe land is terribly expensive and homes are all over 100 year old. You could never get a home like this in Europe unless you were a millionaire. So on your European standards, yes I am a millionaire
