As an American living in Europe it’s been really interesting observing the cultural differences there

Definitely. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of Americans would love to have the social services available in most of Europe (vacation time, parental leave, universal healthcare, universal college-level education, etc.). They just have no idea it’s even an option.

My favorite is always American boomers complaining about universal healthcare being “socialist”…while being on Medicare. I give up.
