No joke, at some point some American dude legit asked me why I don`t have a problem with paying 45% tax and how isn`t everyone rebelling in the streets, since the nanny states of Europe rob us all of our hard earned money. The guy simply could not wrap his head around the notion of subsidized healthcare/ free education. "Why would u pay for someone else`s health but your own? Why are u ok with paying for someone else`s education?" (mind u, I don't have kids and never will, I never wanted that life for myself). I asked him "why wouldn't I want to pay for it?" I benefited from free college as well, my parents did not pay a dime on it. They could not have afforded to send me to a private university. I would not have been a good contributor without that free education. This life is not all about us, as individuals, we are social animals, we literally cannot watch someone being sick, famished, in pain, our eyes involuntarily start producing tears when we see humans in unfortunate situations, we no longer enjoy our own food and good health if we are made to look upon other people`s misery. I don`t want to live in a world where kids go to sleep hungry, I dont care that I dont have my own kids, other people`s kids deserve a fair chance in life as well. I pay for other people`s health right now, there will be a time when someone else`s kid will pay for my health, my pension and my state subsidized transportation and whatever other perks my state will provide at that moment. I don't need to be rich, I just need to be comfortable, which I am on my current net income. I dont have a car, I take public transport or Uber/taxi. I take two vacations/per year outside my country, plus a city break or two. I became a home owner at the age of 43 and I currently pay the bank 33% of my net income (after taxes). I spend 33% of my income on my daily and social life and I save 33% of it. Paying these high taxes does not bring me frustration, I dont feel poor because I`m paying for them (that`s because I`m not actually poor). Making 20% more from my paycheck will not in any way ensure that I live in a society which is educated, healthy, safe, more likely it would ensure the opposite. What good will it do to me earning more if I feel unsafe out on the streets and I constantly fear that hordes of poor, sick, uneducated, desperate persons lay there, waiting to put a knife to my throat and rob me? No, thanks, here, have my money and ensure that there are not such people in the streets. My only concern is how well, how efficiently, transparently and judiciously the state spends my tax money. That`s it.

My own city has many such South and East Asian immigrants along with many Hispanic immigrants. In my state (of Michigan) there are also populations from Burma and the Middle East (who forbearers came to work in the auto industry). You may have noticed that Silicon Valley is also full of such immigrants -- a few of whom are in leadership positions in largest companies (Satya Nardella at Microsoft). In the AI boom, apparently 65% of new AI companies have immigrant founders or cofounders. There are not so many European immigrants there these days, though, and that's probably fine (although we'd still be happy to accept your go-getters). But you don't sound like you'd be coming to start a new company or otherwise give a boost to the economy. Stay there. Live in your rental. Ride your trains.

Dear Trey, greetings from Germany! Good to see you seem to feel better. I had my gall bladder removed, too, in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and it wasn't pleasant. I have to correct you about the time it takes to get a driving license here in Germanyy. It is not 4 years - you have to be a very bad driver to take so long. Usually it is 6-9 months, depending on how frequently you take your driving lesseons and how good you are. There are certain lessons you have to take, like driving in the city, driving on country roads, driving on the Autobahn, driving at night, parking etc. You also have theoretical lessons, where you learn the rules. Then you take aa theoretical test if you know the rules, and a practical test in which you drive, and you also have to take a first aid course, so you can help when you witness an accident and people are hurt. Food has also become more expensive here. Last year we had 10% inflation, so everthing got more expensive, especially food, heating and electricity. That's because of the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is one of the largest supplier of grain in the world, and since the country has been attacked and food exports have been made very difficult by Putin, there is a grain shortage worldwide, and people are eating other food, which in turn also becomes scarcer. This led to a worldwide increase in food prices. And it's similar with heating - the democratic countries have stopped gas impoerts from Russia, so this had become scares (and therefore expensive) too. So things getting expensive is not just a US thing. I wish you all the best and hope you find a way to come back to Europe!

Problem is that inflation in EU and USA are not exactly compareable. Inflation was very very high in USA since 2019/2020, and has risen at higher rates than the inflation in EU. So, when ukrain war and next Inflation Wave hit the us prices were extremly high to start with and then came a big rise in Inflation again.. This is why the prices are much much higher than in germany /EU. Yes , we had high inflation last year, but it is going down since months and will be even lower in a couple of months.

Hi Trey! Employers in Germany have the option now to pay employees inflation money up to 3000 Euros. Either monthly a few hundred euros or in a lumpsome. It helps, and I think it is awesome. I assume the U.S. doesn´t do that? In regards to housing: If a lot of people want to go and live in a certain area, prices rise. But in Germany it is the same thing. The city housing market is saturated, so now the prices living in small villages outside of it, also rises. so basically it is pretty much the same in almost all countries. I think that a person lives where they feel comfortable regarding environment, people, good employment options, and security. Yes, prices of anything you need to pay for count too, but at the moment, the financial issues are everywhere. Fresh fruits and vegetables in Germany go bad within a few days (exception sweet potatoes lol). I LOVE Trader Joes, sad that they don´t open one up all over Germany. They don´t stack the same food at all times, but create new foods every few months, and then put them in the stores. Love the variety! Greeting from Bavaria!

Yes, rate of violent crimes in Germany is lower than the US average per capita, but violent crimes and even terrorist attacks do happen. There was a school shooting in the town of Winnenden near Stuttgart on March 11th 2009 with 15 people shot to death and an attack with a truck on a christmas market in Berlin on December 19th 2016, leaving 12 people dead and 56 injured, just to name two of the worst crimes in recent years. But the statistics show that it is far more likely to be the victim of a violent crime in the US compared to Germany. The risk of getting shot to death with a firearm (excluding suicides) is about 10 to 15 times higher in the US consistently over the last two decades.

I think youre wrong about why florida property is so expensive. ...ie.... 4 times more expensive than 10 yrs ago. The bank if england released a report, which was commissioned a couple of years ago into why British house prices have also increased so much in ten years. The conclusion was unanimous. It was due to supply and demand. Not the supply and demand for property,,, but the supply and demand of mortgage cash. Like the states , the banks in england have massively increased the amount of foney mortgage cash theyve printed up....which in turn has puahed up home prices. The same holds true in the states in places like florida. And the same also holds true for food prices in the states. You cant expect a pound of tomatoes to cost the same amount of dollars in 2023 as in 2020 if during the meantime youve increased the amount of dollars in the system by over 7 trillion. Each one of the newly issued dollars is going to have its spending power dilututed....meaning youll need more of them in 2024 to buy the same amount of tomatoes than you would in 2020. The same mechanism applies to homes , only this time around , its not so much the fed printjng up cash which has caused home prices to rise , but an increased appetite for risk from the mortgage banks meaning theyve printed off a lot more dollars to lend out than in 2012

You will need a visa, a job, - both before you move - a German health insurance, and when you live in Germany, there are a couple of insurances you need to have (not optional). Be prepared for many, many rules, not as much digitalization as you might be used to. Driving is not the same as in the US, some different road rules you need to be aware of. You will also need a German drivers license, and very often your US drivers license will not just be transcribed, you might have to do a German drivers license test. You should be able to speak German at least at a B1 level, so you should already study German now, before you want to move. There is more, but these seem to be most important. Also be prepared for the cultural differences. Most US Americans find Germans rude and are surprised by the "lack of service mentality and small talk". Making friends requires more effort and don't even start comparing, that will not do you any good. Be as open as you can, don't take anything personal. Germans are very direct without ill intent. They are not malicious, they are just different. Also be prepared for smaller cars, higher gas prices. Lower salaries, higher taxes, but also more social security in case of illness, disability, losing your job and so forth. So there are pros and cons. Be prepared for it to be a different life.

The other commenter has already pointed out a bunch of important things, but just in case you haven't started learning German yet, here's some advice based on my own experience with language learning: - while grammar is important, don't make it your main focus (I don't follow a strict plan or anything, but something in the ballpark of 30% grammar, 10% vocab, 60% input/output is what I'd recommend) - a spaced repetition system such as Anki is great for learning vocab. I wouldn't do more than 10 words / day because your reviews will quickly stack up. Start with the most common words + words that are relevant to your life (e.g. related to your degree, hobbies, dietary requirements) - once you got the basics down, focus on input. Over the years, I've literally had language classes with 150 people and nit a single one was able to achieve fluency from classes alone. Some had been studying English for 8 years and were barely able to form a coherent sentence that was more than 5 words long. Everyone who exelled at a given language had either spent some time abroad, used the language regularly in conversations, or consumed a lot of media in that language. Start of with something simple, ideally something you've watched before - while apps like Duolingo shouldn't be your main resource, regularly interacting with the language is important. If the gamification aspect helps you develop a routine, by all means, go for it - the lower your level, the faster your skills deteriorate. After school, I didnt really touch French for several years, went from B2 down to A2 (still able to understand a lot, barely able to speak). I've never really had a decent level of Japanese, so I basically just started over from scratch when i got back to it after a 3 mont break - there's pros and cons to speaking early. If you're excited about speaking German, go for it. If not, don't stress about it for now. You can book sessions with tutors on italki or use apps like tandem to chat with natives. If you're a woman, you might want to consider setting your gender to male because for whatever reason, there's a lot of people who confuse language exchange apps with tinder. I've tried quite a few; Tandem and Slowly, in my experience, are the most pleasant ones. I also hear ChatGPT does a decent job at adjusting its output to your level, but I personally haven't tried it

It is so unfair to ask them to act like a perpetual ray of sunshine, especially of people who don`t naturally have a sunny disposition. It never occurred to me that people who work in stores, gas stations or restaurants should inquire of and mimic that they care about how I feel and how my day is going. Please, you don`t have to, you don`t need to smile at me, you don`t need to engage, you don`t need to act cheery. You are allowed to be a human being with problems, moods, attitude and you are certainly allowed to not give a crap about my life or my problems or any of your customers`problems. Your fake interest in my life feels intrusive and, frankly, does nothing but annoy me. When it comes to this specific American mindset, the worst category is that of the waiters. Please, dont ask me how everything is going or if there is a problem with my food or if I want something else every 5 minutes. Just leave me alone and go do your thing, I will let you know if I need you for anything. You dont need to hover over me and strive to make me feel important. In fact, the standard requirements for waiters should be to absolutely know their menus/drinks, to advice on choosing/ pairing of items in the menu and to write down accurately your order. And then step aside and just look every couple of minutes over the tables and notice if someone raised a hand and tried to attract their attention. Nothing else, no smiles, no jokes, no chitchat, we`re not here to bond over chicken wings and exchange life stories.

It is absolutely necessary for American waiters to ask you how's it going every 5 minutes. Over 50% of their income is tips, and by asking how everything is you can't leave a low tip and claim that the service was bad if you didn't complain when they asked you.

My country also has tipping culture, we leave 10% for good service, @@noseboop4354. But here "good" service means know what the f u sell, u let me know if a product is not all that good, u advise me on what is really good, make sure u did not forget an item on my order and dont forget to pick up my order from the kitchen as soon as its out. Also, pay attention to me, but I dont care if u do it from outside the restaurant while u smoke a cigarette, you dont need to engage up to the point where u become annoying. I dont need you to fake being my friend for an extra 10% of the bill. Tips should never be mandatory and their employer should provide living wages. Tips are for good service and good service does not equate the intrusiveness and the fake smiles the Americans think it means.

Why do you want space ,when every thing is unbelievable terrible. In. US.

Asking "How are you ? " just tu turn around and walk away, that says all about how much worth small talk is really worth. You could also talk in Klingon or any gibberish you just invented, its very much the same. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say, its just bragging "Hey look i'm here, give me your attention, but don't expect to get mine".

Florida great weather, horrible human rights, horrible social safety net . You couldn’t pay me enough to live in a red state. I’m a dual U.S. Italian citizen living in Vermont and you are absolutely right about Europe. Europe basically has its @@@@ together , the government is afraid of the people and not the other way around like in the US. In Italy, I have noticed even the cops are more chill. They just don’t seem super jumpy like NYPD(I’m originally from NY)

Several retail environments and restaurants have metrics that specifically measure customer satisfaction. Of course some employees couldn’t care less, but some do their best to abide by the standards. In a perfect world, these metrics wouldn’t exist and as we’ve seen in the EU…they don’t exist.

America and the rest of the western nation states and societies were doing just fine - and in spite of the circumstances are till doing amazingly well.

@28.00 check if FL qualifies to have your state side drivers license converted to a german one, if you plan on moving back. Pay a small fee and you´ll get the german one for the american one, which would save you time and money instead of going through the process... Are you planning on living again in germany?! ...Or is it better state side from your view Correction: You also have a lot of crime in germany and europe, shootings, mostly stabbings etc...it´s just not blown up or even shown on the news so you others don´t even know it happened...as opposed to the states

New sub from Melbourne Australia. It's not that European food quality is so much better than the US, its more the US is so far below other parts of the developed world. I find European food quality roughly the same as here, perhaps below in certain countries. We have very high standards here and I haven't even mentioned your coffee mate 🤮😅

Hm, This was possibly the most cringe-worthy report on the topic I have had the misfortune of viewing. Repetitive and shallow does not even begin to touch the levels of ignorance and self-centeredness. You, Sir, are the consummate American of the variety that we joyfully appreciate to the see the backside of. We can, no, we will be happy to do without. All the best in your life and endeavours, but I sincerely hope to see/hear/perceive the least amount of your musings as you trudge through your American quagmire where fake is king and misery is elevated to social virtue and your fellow human being's suffering is laughed at and treated as personal defect in the one who is undergoing it.
