Most what I learn from the USA nowadays is very negative and it seems that some people are totally off the rails over there.
It seems that the general quality of living is way worse than in EU.
Is the reality as bad as the news and these kinds of statements make it look like? We have higher taxes but good quality schools and healthcare is included. How is America average buying power after those?
It is very worrying that a country that often has been viewed as the lighthouse of the western culture seems to struggle so much.
Yes, USA is an miserable shithole. Personally I've been making long term plans to move to EU. Cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, etc. They are like utopia compared to the fucking parking lot society that I live in.
Honestly, I'd imagine it's pretty similar to the EU. Your living experience varies drastically state to state and even city to city. Some cities/states prioritize education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. and some don't. General political views seem to be the major difference between the EU and the US, from what I've heard, most of the "left" here would be considered center or center-right over there. I've only briefly visited the EU so many of you probably have a much better answer than me and I welcome any corrections.
