> They use and adopt new products much faster than people in other countries, new trends start here, they are not shy of moving on to something better. Nope. Just nope. Doubtfully on a personal level (Music streaming spread in Europe first with Spotify, for example), but infrastructure-wise the USA is so far behind it isn't even funny. The internet lines suck. The traffic light systems suck. The sewage and water system suck. In-house tech is decades behind Europe (most house furnaces are still the unmodulated on-off type ffs!). >  U.S. has people from almost every country in the world. Most big cities are filled with immigrants. New York City is a prime example of that. It has people from 180 countries and people speak more than 800 languages in the 5 boroughs. This is unprecedented compare to any other country in the world. The most important part is that with such a high concentration of immigrants, people are more accepting of new cultures. Again, no. Amsterdam has people of a 180 nationalities, for example. Also, because Europe is such a blanket of different countries (= different cultures) we've had to deal with 'new cultures' since before the USA existed. Furthermore, Europe has been (and is) socially more progressive for a very long time. We've had gay marriage much earlier. Drug use has been decriminalized for decades. Prison is rehabilitative instead of punitive. All this article is basically an immigrant who feels like an American saying 'America, fuck yeah!', whilst not doing a modicum of research (the Amsterdam fact is easily Googleable).
