From a UK perspective, the US "throws money" at everything, both culturally and because you are a larger economy.
Education, sports, healthcare, industry, space, science to name a few.
The UK also has an opposing culture, we don't invest in the long term in infrastructure or people. Even in your case, you visited the two richest universities (by a long margin) in the UK.
- okeuro49 3y agoThere's long term investment in London, but the North never recovered after losing its industry. Numerous promises such as "northern powerhouse" have failed to materialise.
- was_a_dev 3y agoI think it would be safe to call London an outlier for the UK, for the reason of how much investment is directed there
- kranke155 3y agoThe north didn’t “lose” its industry, im afraid. It was deliberately destroyed as a matter of policy. Deindustrialisation is terrible.
- thebruce87m 3y agoFor people outside the UK - English people refer to the north of England as “the North”, even when talking in the context of the UK.
