“Americans, What Do Europeans Have Every Day That You See As A Luxury?” (30 Opinions)

And for me after moving to France the French health care system, like the NHS under pressur but more reactive. I've had more scans etc than back thonder. The only thing I ask is why they don't ask for safety reasons how many rays I've had recently. I probably glow in the dark now, and send Geiger counters off the scale. Other than a vasectomy, never had an op back in the UK. Here in France quickly had a cataract op, after being warned by my optictian back in the UK I possibly had one. Had a knee op, then the other eye for a cataract, and at least 2 one day stays in hospital for multi tests - thought there was a colony of vampires the volume of bloods they took. Lumbar puncture, I hardly felt. A bollocks with a trainee doc who shook like a leaf trying to take a sample of salivary glands, and had to let a nurse take over. Followed for my health problems, rarely taken seriously back in UK (the only doc who did take my health seriously left for another practice in another town).

I wish we had affordable healthcare.

" Healthcare expenditures per capita averaged $10,191 in the U.S. in 2020 France spent 209.2 billion euros on healthcare in 2020, or about 3,100 euros per person, 0.4 per cent less than the year before. Among the EU Member States, Germany (12.8 %) and France (12.2 %) had the highest healthcare expenditure relative to GDP in 2020. La France est l' un des états européens qui dépense le plus pour sa santé mais est aussi le pays où la part des soins qui reste à la charge directe des ménages est la plus faible, selon une étude de la Drees (Service statistique public) "

Because they are distracted by other topics, such as divisive politics or religious bigots

Hard to protest when you become homeless and starving for doing so. How much savings do you have, how long can you be away from your work before you're fired? Because in the US for the average individual it's None/not enough to pay even a month of rent, and very little if any. Those who could afford to protest are the ones who don't feel there is anything wrong because they aren't in the situations that would make the need for it Real.

US people are the most propagandized in the world is why.

Wait til people ACTUALLY find out how mortgage interest works and how they're going to be paying triple for their houses. That industry needs a solid, armed protest and reform.

Money in YOUR pocket, not your governments, simple as that. You think the economy is bad here, don't let Europeans fool you, it is worse there.

Too many are stuck indoors with barely enough money to have a place of their own so they live with their parents, are miserable at the state of affairs but dont have the motivation anymore to get off tik tok so dont even have the energy to fight the system. When the revolution comes, it will be fought by those who arent brain dead from over tech use. Lets hope they have your best interests in mind.

We are the best, that is why we have people flooding our borders from every country. Name another country that has a constitution that guarantees more rights or freedom.

Malls were actually created to simulate the experience of a shopping street in a city, so you are right.

I think malls are a dead issue, there aren't any left around here anyway.

Also, to get to a special walking trail for exercise, people need to drive there and park.

The same conpany/companies in the airports own the food court restaurants. HMS Host, and the food isn't made to be tasty, just quick.

or grocery stores

The food is as good as the merchandise, and for the same reason.

I was going to say this too. Can't do that where I live either.

I would disagree that "the majority of the country is endless urban sprawl like LA and Phoenix." The majority of the country is open country, not cities.

I never really thought about it either, plus I dont know who does?

US is the most violent country outside of parts of South America and a couple of African states. It is the most violent ‘developed’ state in world.

When you have a repressive police state who don't even enforce your laws, why would you think about it?

You're right.It has literally never, ever crossed my mind. If I hear gunfire, I know someone is out after rabbits, or pheasants.

We have poutine!

I submit Finnish baking. Admittedly our cuisine in general is not great, but whenever I'm abroad (Germany included) I miss the diversity of bread you find in any Finnish supermarket. Climate has forced us to use a variety of grains and sparse population has created a great many distinct "bread cultures".

I prefer my baguette but to each their own :). I reckon German bread is excellent, more diverse I would say as well.

I won't tell the French you said that.

Shhsh, don't mention Viennoise française really stolen from Austria, and Germany!

Well bread shouldnt be so chewy that your jaw aches from eating it either. It should be soft not but soggy with a nice crust on it. I dont buy bread anymore, I just get sandwiches from Subway with either multi grain or Honey Oat bread and bacon or tuna with a lot of salad in it. That's a meal by itself with a drink. You can buy Multi Grain sliced bread in the UK but not for some reason, Honey Oat. Pity coz its a really nice bread and doesnt sit heavy in my stomach like types do.

as a german, i love the nordic crispbread, there are so many delicious variations and i'll take any german bread.
