  Free? The Queen pays for it now?

    Have you been to Western Europe lately? Their infrastructure, culture, activities, education, and social values dominate the USA in every way. We have bigger cars, more money, and more guns than them though.

        I agree with you that on HN, people see europe with rose-tinted glasses (or rather, only see the bad part of the US, because Europe is pretty cool to live in or to visit, as are the US). But your comment should be left on twitter or reddit, please.

      Europe also has much higher taxes, strikes, and energy costs. I’ll happily stay in the U.S.

        The US have a lot of positive: large empty spaces, some of the best rivers in the world, a really good national park and forest office and interesting trails, a lot of boulders, a lot of different climate, and nice/impressive city centers. To me, the freedom to strike is a positive for Europe. It says a lot about who own the power in a particular country imho.

    It's not free but the US is spending way more in healthcare without getting anything in return. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/154e8143-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/154e8143-en https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/154e8143-en/index.html?i...
