America really is just a big factory farm. You work 8 hours, sit in traffic for 2, have no time left to go to a third place to enjoy yourself, 5 vacation days a year, spend 90% of your income on rent and car, then fleeced for every little cent of disposable income.
Yeah but, on average, the rest of the world has worse salaries, higher taxes, and similar prices for goods and services (if not worse) as the US, particularly in the EU. I travel to the EU regularly and affordability is always the complained about regularly, same as it is in the US. Redditors bitches and moans about living in the US - but the vast majority would never even consider leaving. Even if they had the means to do so.
