I dunno about that, electricity is expensive in Germany compared to the US. Internet is more expensive, but nowhere near 3x. Groceries can be worse, discount groceries aren’t as common in the states, but if you specifically seek out cheaper grocery places it’s not too much worse imo. Taxes generally aren’t worse, though this depends on specific region. NYC might be worse, while Seattle is better. And there’s stuff that’s cheaper in the US. Almost anything that comes out of a factory is like 10-20% less, like electronics, partially due to VAT vs sales tax. Ditto for media stuff like streaming subscriptions or Steam games.
