I prefer co-op games like the James Webb telescope. Thanks ESA for a perfect launch.

It is amazing what humans can do when we all work together for something that’s good. I think it’s really when people start trying to take advantage of each other when it all goes downhill…

If you avoid the flatlander areas, Canada may be for you. We also speak English; just, without the accent. :-P

(unless you live on the island that’s an hour’s ferry from France)

Speaking a language without an accent is like wearing clothes without a material

Idk I’m from the central US and I had a German foreign exchange student tell me we didn’t have a mimicable accent. I know it’s not true but it was interesting to hear that from someone who’s familiar with everyone around her speaking in a completely different way, even when using English.

Maybe you don’t need the language for work. But you will need te learn the language eventually for other day to day interactions.

There’s no Americans bragging about that. Corporations and the government, sure. The rest of us are to busy living in pain

Most Americans have no clue what the rest of the world is like.

Most Americans don’t even understand the progressive income tax system we have, they will go so far as to decline raises because it’ll put them in a higher bracket and they think that will mean less take home pay. It doesn’t! You should always take a raise!

I believe I’ll someday move to a country that has good policies for everything from healthcare, to work life balance, and social safety nets, and I’ll never have to deal with the American nightmare again.

To be fair, the rest of the world isn’t easily accessible for most Americans

It’s literally one Google search away. And if they want to travel, you’ll be able to speak English to basically everyone (under 40)

Actually the media in Germany is starting to push that narrative, maybe to get us to focus more on work and less on enjoying our lifes

As an american, who gives a shit about all that stuff when your family savings can be wiped out, home foreclosed upon, and bankrupted just because you get sick or suffer an injury!? Even if you plan and do everything right, it could still happen to you, through no fault of your own.

So, IMO until we have universal healthcare like every other modern nation, they all beat us…
