What she says it is true. We are a nation of self-helpers. I was at Lowes getting something to fix a leaking faucet and had no idea what to buy but a man next to me was looking at stuff so I asked him if he could help and told him what my problem was. He not only found what I needed but told me exactly how to do the repair. That is AMERICA!
I think it’s funny that people perceive Americans as putting on *fake* smiles. No, we actually do smile and say hello to strangers as we walk down the street. Enter an elevator. Stand in line. It’s just normal.
America has its share of jerks and bad people - read the news. However, America's freedoms and plenty give most people reason enough to be friendly and smiling.
Living in LA for years, they did not smile at anyone. Moved to the Midwest and it was so shocking how people waved and smiled and said hello. Was bizarre at first.
As a southerners we talk, say hello, even wave at strangers driving down the road especially in rural areas. We help out each other anytime. People here are also spoiled, because of the choices we have, the freedoms we have.
@@larrydrozd2740 I think we’re turning a corner, and I’m very optimistic that I’ll live long enough to see America rise up again. Long life and good health to you as well!
True story: I visited Westminster Abbey about 10 years ago. I was walking around taking it all in and was in awe. A gentleman who worked there said, "You're American?" I replied, "Yes. My coat give it away?" He said, "No, you're smiling". I was caught off guard, then responded, "Yeah, it's really nice being here."
I work with a Russian girl. She was adopted from an orphanage in Russia when she was 14 and brought to the US. Her, her husband and kids are the sweetest nicest people. I love them and they love the US ❤️
We have our issues, but we are more supportive of one another than one would think. Friendliness is part of our culture. I think that’s because we are literally from all over the world. So we had to form communities with each other just to survive.
In the 1980s while I was stationed in the UK ( US Air Force ) I was In a local store and an older woman approached me and started yelling at me about getting local girls pregnant during WWII. I said I was sorry and then made a hasty exit. Lol I liked my time over there but you people need nicer weather. 😊
I think it is crazy that people still think Americans are lazy, yet they work more hours per year with fewer vacations than most other countries. If anything, they are 'lazy' because they are exhausted from working so much!
@sharnadixon-scott710 I think our car culture is sometimes misinterpreted as being lazy. Also, the predominance of fast food is widely misunderstood. Then, of course, we've got obesity problem, but so do other developed countries.
Over the years, I have seen comments from Europeans that were bragging about their 6 week vacations to distant places as proof that they are happier and better off. While I am sure that they did more vacations than I, I have not been unhappy about my relative lack of vacations because: I generally liked the work I did, 2) I like my daily life, 3) I take lots of "staycations" where I take weekend trips out of my area but within 4 hours driving distance. Usually there is a lot to see and do. 4) I have hobbies that I like to do. 5) I feel happier investing the money in my life, my hobbies, and my retirement than blowing it all on a huge annual vacation. When I have gone on vacations, I did enjoy myself but I was glad to get back to my nice normal life. My question is why are Europeans so unhappy that they need super long vacations every year? Does life suck in Europe?
So you mean you have the same life as Europeans just with less vacations. No it doesn't suck it's just better in than the USA in giving vacations. You don't need to use those vacations for many weeks away. Most people use them as one two week vacation then long weekends and days off
@@sharnadixon-scott710 the law doesn't require a lot of PTO, but most professional jobs (requires a college degree) will offer that. My last job did not require a college degree, but when I was laid off I had 30+ days of PTO I hadn't used, so that was part of my severance package. In the Navy I had 60+ days when I got out. 🙂 It's like healthcare; we don't do single payer but the vast majority are covered through their job, at a subsidized rate, if not free. That last job, they offered healthcare coverage for 20 USD/month. I didn't partake, as I have a "single payer" type of system as a veteran, but they did offer. Plus everybody gets several long weekends....labor day, veteran's day, christmas, new year's day, etc. There are 12 federal holidays. 🙂
@@sharnadixon-scott710 There can be quite a bit of difference from one European country to another in terms of quality of life, so you can’t really say that anyone in America is living the same life as in Europe but with less time of. Switzerland vs eastern European countries is a bit of a contrast. I’m curious, but do the former eastern block countries typically get six weeks of vacation?
I applaud her English language skills. As an American (English speaker) who tried to learn Russian in recent years, I understand the difficulty of learning a second language, especially one as liguistically different as Russian/English.
As with most Americans; we would like to see every nation succeed just as we have. But it takes drive, being able to accept change, and a willingness to work extra hours to get ahead. We try to help each other to be successful, because that's the only way we individually become successful.
You can't generalize America or Americans because it differs a lot depending on where you visit or live. Living in NYC is FAR different than living in the midwest for example.
God I wish I could meet a girl like her and start over. Beautiful smart and enthusiastic about 'here'. Thats an old video . Didn't realize it until I went looking for more of her thoughts on the US and react videos. But she hasn't posted in 3 years. ( Glad she liked it here though.
The Instagram model probably did the sensible thing and married a rich American man before her lifestyle videos didn't make her the cash she needed anymore
I've traveled outside the US, many times, to many European countries. Compared to America, it's like Europeans are walking around with dead souls. No way could I live in a place where smiles are rare.
Yes, Millie, show us the negatives as well. If no one tells us what we're doing wrong, we can't work on fixing it. We're not perfect-far from it. We *want* to be the best at everything we can, but we're willing to learn how we can do better. --Dan
Americans may be seen as "lazy" because of our car culture. We will drive four blocks to get groceries rather than walking. Outside of some place like New York City, we see walking as something separate that you do for enjoyment and exercise. I will usually drive somewhere just to go walking/hiking. When it comes to doing chores, we are all about maximum efficiency. Get all your grocery shopping for the week done in one day and one trip. Our fridges can handle it.
It would be actually hard for me as an American to fake a smile or a particular disposition....I can be a bit down, but I still look forward to nice interactions.
I always feel a little weirded out when people talk about the great things, or the bad things about American people. People and experience vary so much. Not only in America, but in the countries they’re comparing us to. As a general rule, yeah we may smile more,and I’m sure it’s fake with some people. And I meet plenty of people that don’t, and some that are downright nasty. I would say the service at stores, restaurants, etc. is definitely more friendly and helpful than in some countries. Edit: sometimes the insane have a perpetual smile. 😂 so be careful. It may be an insane smile.
This can be said about any country, don't judge its nature on social media posts, political commentaries, and controversial news events. These are made to draw attention for all the wrong reasons. If you want to know a country, know it's people. Talk with them, not at them, and listen with respect. People are not a reflection of the politics of their country, politics change, people really do not. I have experienced wonderful, welcoming, sharing, caring people in places that are supposed to be full of angry, dangerous people. Get out of your comfort zone to learn the world is a nicer place than you can imagine.
@@ric66fb people always say that, but how much does it actually happen these days. In my experience with people I know,if you don’t have insurance you will pretty much be charged based on your income, or ability to pay. There’s all kinds of charity and government programs that cover people who can’t pay. I’ve known of hospital bills decreased by 75% when they realize the person didn’t have an income to support that big of a bill.
Here's a negative for you, the healthcare ... I'm from the UK and yes it's good healthcare here BUT, it's expensive and it's the biggest cause of bankruptcy in the USA ... being well looked after is good, yes... but it could cause you to lose your house !
@@ric66fb Bankruptcy is NOT common, though (at least it wasn't, before trump took office....). Less than 1% of all residents here in California have been bankrupt. It's not expensive if you get it through your employer. My last job offered it at 20/month. I didn't partake because I am a veteran, but that's pretty cheap. It's pretty common that if your job requires a degree, healthcare will be offered for free (programmer at Google, lawyer at a law firm, union electrician (doesn't require a degree, but there is a union), etc.). When you hear about it costing hundreds per month, generally speaking those are self employed people. They don't have the benefit of a big company buying health care insurance in bulk, so they have to bear the full brunt of the cost of a healthcare insurance plan as an individual. My dad, who is covered by the government through Medicare, recently had a bill of 3000 USD plus....but in the line "share to be paid by customer", 33 USD. So, not really that expensive. The UK gets 3000 USD bills for hospital care as well, but it's the NHS paying it. In the USA, in many cases a private company pays it. That's the only difference.
Don't believe all that is on RUclips about the USA from those who have not been past California or New York city. No state, or city are the same as the other. I grew up in South Carolina and we have a lot of people who are decent of Scot_irsh as well as some other people
As an American, I am disappointed when I travel abroad (especially by myself) and I don't find the people to be helpful or friendly. Certainly there are many places where I have encountered lots of lovely people, but I have been to places that I found to be absolutely hostile. Those are the places where I never plan to return for another visit. When I have returned from one of those places to the USA, it has been immediately noticeable that I am back home.
I have a friend from Denmark who thought (before he came for a visit) that Americans were phony. Fake smiles and greeting strangers with "Hello, how are you?" or "How ya doin'?" when we didn't actually want to know about his health. He didn't realize that "How ya doin'?" is merely a greeting and not an actual question.
I've been to Russia twice. The men there are absolutely GRIM! Women are much nicer but the men look like they're ready to start WWIII. The subway is hilarious there. Women sit on one side of the car and men on the other. Very strange.
Honestly medical care here is the best in the world. While it's not free, it's the best. If you are actively employed with a good company generally medical is not a problem. I am grateful that my employer pays all premiums. We just pay deductibles for an hsa. I've had other types of insurance as well and equally good but you do have to pay something for it. I think free in other countries is aka taxed very high for it but you still don't get access expediently to Dr's and specialist. Regarding NY comments about good employers. Well that's on you to create your own american dream. The disagreement with some is they shouldn't have to work for it. Pay for it. Etc. There is room for improvement but I've like the options over my life.
I like that it is convenient that we can walk into a store and get everything from one store. Mom and pop shops are always in danger because of walmart and amazon. We have many other companies like walmart, but the main fear with this is Walmart and Amazon are the biggest and there is a worry of them becoming a monolopy and having too much power.
7:37 Life is a day-to-day struggle for the majority of Americans who are poor, working poor or working class. That's why we die, on average, 5 to 10 years earlier than the top 10% wealthiest Americans.
The poor in America mostly all have television, air conditioning, vehicles, cellphones, healthcare, and access to education and the internet. The standard of living for the poor in America is higher than a good portion of the world’s population. You die 5-10 years sooner because being overweight is an indicator of poverty in the U.S. The United States is perhaps the only country that kills off the poor early by over feeding them. I’m not discounting the day-to-day struggles of being poor in America, since I grew up in Appalachia and saw real poverty firsthand. However, America provides more avenues to escape poverty than any other place in the world. American optimism is available to all people here.
@@sigcrazy7 The Botton 50% of Americans have near zero wealth. They will, for the most part, work until they die. The poor in America are not 'over fed.' They're obese because cheap food is filled with empty calories, namely HFTC, and is addicting. 30 million Americans, overwhelmingly the poor, have no health insurance. Every other industrialized country on Earth provides not-for-profit healthcare to all their citizens. If you look at a multi-decade chart you'll see that the Botton 50% of Americans' wealth never meaningfully changes. That's because poverty and near-poverty for half of the population is baked into the cake of American capitalism. There's no way out for the overwhelming majority of these people.
It never hurts to hear out what a person has to say, both the good and the bad. Its all subjective, so I would never take one or 100 people's viewpoints and definitely say "ah so this is what a country is like." In the end your own personal experience is going to be what matters.
I think the plus differences are based on a "can do" attitude. I believe that generations before us struggled and within that struggle people always tried to help each other. I think it has been passed down to people now. We do have bad days and contrary to the internet most of us do not take it out on others. The saying of do unto others is alive and well in the USA. We can argue, disagree about many things here, but when it comes down to it we will do what we can to help anyone in trouble. Even if it's to help you fill out a deposit slip or check at the bank. We will never be called the quiet country. 😂 I have never been offended or felt like someone is bothering me if they need help or ask a question. We do like to keep moving, learning, and explore new ideas. I believe that other countries are like this, but in a subtle way. Where we are ok you want to start a business? I can get the word out. You need workers I think Mrs Smith has a son or daughter looking for a job. We know this because we do talk to everyone. 😊 I would like to see the negatives too 😉
The negatives are there is more of a selfish culture. People won't help each other as easily which means there are worse systems in place than in many other countries
When McDonald's first opened in Moscow, they had to teach the local employees how to treat customers - as they always do. But they had trouble with their Russian workers, because they didn't want to smile and welcome in customers. Apparently, there was a sense in Russia that people who smile without an explicit reason are fools - actually mentally disabled. So the workers didn't want to look like fools to other Russians.
There's also the story of an employee asking why they (the new McDonald's employees) had to be nice to the customers, because it was the employees who had all the food. As in, the McDonald's employees held power and authority over the McDonald's customers and the customers should be nice to the employees.
Here in the USA we talk about business to each other. Not so much as Dollars but as what were doing. I'm more impressed with how many people you employ.
A lot of Americans just don't realize how blessed they are. Primarily because fewer Americans travel internationally than most. They can be very unaware of how other cultures are.
I find this statement amusing, because you don't need to travel anywhere to know about the terrible living conditions most people in the world live in, comparatively. The issue is not lack of knowledge but lack of humility and gratitude, and traveling most likely won't change those character defects.
@@ric66fbhmm… I dunno about that. I’m sure there are some people but not “MANY.” I literally don’t know a single person who hasn’t been to another state… and this is coming from a Texan, and TX and for reference, is larger than every country solely within Europe.
It helps if you are an attractive person. It is easy to test. Go out into the public looking unkept and dressed like you aren't well off. Then go out fully done up with nice clothes. You will be treated differently. People treat others by their looks a LOT.
Must suck to get brainwashed by lying MSNBC & CNN! But must suck even more to not have enough common sense to see the truth and have to rely on left media to tell you how to think!

I think free in other countries is aka taxed very high for it but you still don't get access expediently to Dr's and specialist. Regarding NY comments about good employers. Well that's on you to create your own american dream. The disagreement with some is they shouldn't have to work for it. Pay for it. Etc. There is room for improvement but I've like the options over my life.
She's still here, so the negatives must be relatively minor.
I like that it is convenient that we can walk into a store and get everything from one store. Mom and pop shops are always in danger because of walmart and amazon. We have many other companies like walmart, but the main fear with this is Walmart and Amazon are the biggest and there is a worry of them becoming a monolopy and having too much power.
7:37 Life is a day-to-day struggle for the majority of Americans who are poor, working poor or working class. That's why we die, on average, 5 to 10 years earlier than the top 10% wealthiest Americans.
The poor in America mostly all have television, air conditioning, vehicles, cellphones, healthcare, and access to education and the internet. The standard of living for the poor in America is higher than a good portion of the world’s population. You die 5-10 years sooner because being overweight is an indicator of poverty in the U.S. The United States is perhaps the only country that kills off the poor early by over feeding them. I’m not discounting the day-to-day struggles of being poor in America, since I grew up in Appalachia and saw real poverty firsthand. However, America provides more avenues to escape poverty than any other place in the world. American optimism is available to all people here.
@@sigcrazy7 The Botton 50% of Americans have near zero wealth. They will, for the most part, work until they die. The poor in America are not 'over fed.' They're obese because cheap food is filled with empty calories, namely HFTC, and is addicting. 30 million Americans, overwhelmingly the poor, have no health insurance. Every other industrialized country on Earth provides not-for-profit healthcare to all their citizens. If you look at a multi-decade chart you'll see that the Botton 50% of Americans' wealth never meaningfully changes. That's because poverty and near-poverty for half of the population is baked into the cake of American capitalism. There's no way out for the overwhelming majority of these people.
Great video 👍🏽Thx
It never hurts to hear out what a person has to say, both the good and the bad. Its all subjective, so I would never take one or 100 people's viewpoints and definitely say "ah so this is what a country is like." In the end your own personal experience is going to be what matters.
When something is hard, it's a prime candidate for inventors.
I think the plus differences are based on a "can do" attitude. I believe that generations before us struggled and within that struggle people always tried to help each other. I think it has been passed down to people now.
We do have bad days and contrary to the internet most of us do not take it out on others. The saying of do unto others is alive and well in the USA.
We can argue, disagree about many things here, but when it comes down to it we will do what we can to help anyone in trouble. Even if it's to help you fill out a deposit slip or check at the bank. We will never be called the quiet country. 😂 I have never been offended or felt like someone is bothering me if they need help or ask a question.
We do like to keep moving, learning, and explore new ideas. I believe that other countries are like this, but in a subtle way. Where we are ok you want to start a business? I can get the word out. You need workers I think Mrs Smith has a son or daughter looking for a job. We know this because we do talk to everyone. 😊
I would like to see the negatives too 😉
The negatives are there is more of a selfish culture. People won't help each other as easily which means there are worse systems in place than in many other countries
Do her bad list ...
I would love to hear the negatives.
Hi
Hello 🙂
Hi
most everything is easy if your very pretty. try being ugly and getting help
Worked with a Russian guy who would refuse novacaine at the dentist because he didn't want to pay the fifteen dollars for the shot 😮
We all make our own choices. 🤷♂️
When McDonald's first opened in Moscow, they had to teach the local employees how to treat customers - as they always do. But they had trouble with their Russian workers, because they didn't want to smile and welcome in customers. Apparently, there was a sense in Russia that people who smile without an explicit reason are fools - actually mentally disabled. So the workers didn't want to look like fools to other Russians.
There's also the story of an employee asking why they (the new McDonald's employees) had to be nice to the customers, because it was the employees who had all the food. As in, the McDonald's employees held power and authority over the McDonald's customers and the customers should be nice to the employees.
Here in the USA we talk about business to each other. Not so much as Dollars but as what were doing.
I'm more impressed with how many people you employ.
It helps if you’re beautiful
What helps?
@ “it”
@ Sounds like a whiner victim excuse.
And blonde
@ get some hair bleach, anyone can be blonde.
Well we don’t make all these expensive fancy explosives by being lazy. 🇺🇸
A lot of Americans just don't realize how blessed they are. Primarily because fewer Americans travel internationally than most. They can be very unaware of how other cultures are.
That's true many American don't realise how much worse off they are as well
Many have never travelled out of their own state let alone the country !
I find this statement amusing, because you don't need to travel anywhere to know about the terrible living conditions most people in the world live in, comparatively.
The issue is not lack of knowledge but lack of humility and gratitude, and traveling most likely won't change those character defects.
@@ronaldthibodauxjr they also don't realise how lacking they are
@@ric66fbhmm… I dunno about that. I’m sure there are some people but not “MANY.” I literally don’t know a single person who hasn’t been to another state… and this is coming from a Texan, and TX and for reference, is larger than every country solely within Europe.
By all means show the negatives as well!
The stereotypical Americans are lazy but we create damn near everything they use.
Who uses
@sharnadixon-scott710: The people that say Americans are lazy.
01:15 yeah people are nice to her because she's pretty
Yep her and Millie.
yes, i would like to hear you review her top 5 negative
They are nice to you because you are a pretty girl. The experience isn't really the same for avg men.
It helps if you are an attractive person. It is easy to test. Go out into the public looking unkept and dressed like you aren't well off. Then go out fully done up with nice clothes. You will be treated differently. People treat others by their looks a LOT.
This is true, initially.
Sure...Do the negatives. How do people learn otherwise? Peace, Love!!
If she thinks Americans are nice she should go to Canada. They are the nicest people ever. I’m American and Canadians are nicer than we are.
I like to hear her dislikes in America too. to see if I can see her point or not. Sounds very interesting to me.
I’d like to see the five negative please❤
Bring on the negatives. Nothing wrong with balance.
We don't have Putin. But we do have someone who loves Putin.
Give it up already.
@fermisparadox01 Give what up?
Must suck to get brainwashed by lying MSNBC & CNN! But must suck even more to not have enough common sense to see the truth and have to rely on left media to tell you how to think!
Sorry Beasleys, you picked the wrong country to emigrate to.
They haven't gone anywhere. They live on a Channel Island called Jersey which is a British island. So wtf are you talking about?
She's a pretty, blonde model with many bikini photos on her social media. (She provides a link in her bio to her Inst@.) Perhaps that's why everyone is so nice to her?
