Since it appears that you weren't just trolling with that comment, I have to ask, have you ever actually been to Europe? The north-western countries offer pretty much the same abundance of material goods and lifestyle opportunities as the wealthier areas of the USA. (I will grant you that the average European passenger vehicle is less wastefully enormous than its North American equivalent.) And can you give us an example of a cutting-edge consumer technology that is widely available in the USA, but not in Europe?

Cutting-edge consumer technology that is widely available in the USA, but not in Europe: 1. Weapons. There may be a few exceptions in Europe, such as the Czech Republic, currently fighting the EU. There are certainly exceptions in the USA, such as California. Overall though, availability is superior in the USA. 2. Private aircraft. If you want to build an experimental airplane in your garage and then fly it, you can do so in the USA. Licensing is pretty easy, especially if the aircraft is lightweight and doesn't carry much fuel or many people.
