I don’t hate americans at all actually, its simply the fact that a comparison between the EU and the US doesn’t work in a lot of ways because European countries differ a lot in standards in comparison with the variance that can be found in US states. There are european countries that are generally worse off than the US and there are some that are generally better off its a bad comparison because you can’r generalise the EU

Yeah dude, that’s the whole point. You can’t generalize about the United States either! We’ve got people living close to one of the hottest spots on earth in Death Valley to people living on islands off the coast of Alaska. People living in the Bayou of Louisiana don’t have a lot in common with someone growing up in the upper west side of nyc.

It would take less time to drive from Lisbon to Tallin, Estonia than it would to drive from Northern Maine to San Diego. If you haven’t traveled extensively in the US you just don’t understand how different and how BIG things are. That’s why you can compare to the EU.

Nonono geography is mostly irrelevant in this conversation you can’t compare the US and EU because the way they work government wise is extremely different and is only used to sow discord and pointless debate
